Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a grails app
2. Install spring security core plugin compile 'org.grails.plugins:spring-security-core:4.0.0'
3. Add "tablePerHierarchy false" to User class
4. Extend another class from User

Expected Behaviour

It should create a separate table for the extended class.

Actual Behaviour

Application doesn't start and throws:

Disconnected from the target VM, address: '127.0.0.1:39131', transport: 'socket' 2020-05-08 19:15:10.534 ERROR --- [ restartedMain] o.s.b.web.embedded.tomcat.TomcatStarter : Error starting Tomcat context.
