## I want to parse Text to json in groovy script but get errors:

## failed to load/compile script [my\_script]

## This is my\_script.groovy file:

d=doc['data'].value  
//d='data=%7B%22request%22%3A%7B%22model%22%3A%22Score%22%2C%22action%22%3A%22getSignInScoreEx%22%2C%22parameters%22%3A%7B%22uid%22%3A%22108043431%22%7D%7D%7D'  
//path='request.parameters.uid'  
//val='108043431'

ebody=d.substring(5);  
body=java.net.URLDecoder.decode(ebody,"UTF-8");  
json=new groovy.json.JsonSlurper().parseText(body);  
paths=path.split('\.')

## obj = json for(String p : paths) { obj=obj[p] } if(obj==val) { return true } else { return false }

after some debug,problem may comes from "json=new groovy.json.JsonSlurper().parseText(body);"

anyone can help me? thx

thx!  
after google,i found a solution:

1. drop `http://central.maven.org/maven2/org/codehaus/groovy/groovy-json/2.4.6/groovy-json-2.4.6.jar` in the ${ELASTICSEARCH\_HOME}/modules/lang-groovy/ directory for it to work.
2. add permissions to file: ${ELASTICSEARCH\_HOME}/modules/lang-groovy/plugin-security.policy  
permission org.elasticsearch.script.ClassPermission "groovy.json.JsonSlurper";

it works only in:  
./bin/elasticsearch -d --security.manager.enabled  
es version:2.4.2
