How to connect postgres database with Grails 2.3.4 - postgresql

Question

I'm new to Grails. I'm trying to connect postgresql 9.0 database server with grails 2.3.4. I have added postgresql-9.0-801.jdbc3.jar file into the lib folder of grails application.When i'm running the application on Intellij editor then getting following error.
Where i'm doing wrong?
