access to a rest webservice in grails 4.0.1

I have a lot of successful rest accesses in grails 2.x.x I simply coded

import grails.plugins.rest.client.*
import grails.util.Holders
import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.json.JSONObject
import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.json.JSONArray

and Classes JSONObject, JSONArray, RestBuilder, RestResponse where available for further use.

What are the corresponding imports in 4.0.1 and what jars resp. what lines in build.gradle are necessary?

Grails 4 offers better options than to interact with the classes you asked about but to answer the question as asked...

org.grails.web.json.JSONObject is in grails-web-common-4.0.1.jar. Use import org.grails.web.json.JSONObject.

org.grails.web.json.JSONArray is in grails-web-common-4.0.1.jar. Use import org.grails.web.json.JSONArray.

grails.plugins.rest.client.RestBuilder is in grails-datastore-rest-client-6.1.12.RELEASE.jar. Use import grails.plugins.rest.client.RestBuilder.

grails.plugins.rest.client.RestResponse is in grails-datastore-rest-client-6.1.12.RELEASE.jar. Use import grails.plugins.rest.client.RestResponse.

Depending on what other dependencies you may have in your project those may or may not be pulled in transitively so you may not need to add them to your build.gradle directly. The most likely scenario is you won't need to add anything to pull in grails-web-common-4.0.1.jar but you probably will need to pull in grails-datastore-rest-client-6.1.12.RELEASE.jar which can be done by adding the following to your build.gradle:

compile "org.grails:grails-datastore-rest-client:6.1.12.RELEASE"

If you want to pull in grails-web-common explicitly you could use the following:

compile "org.grails:grails-web-common:4.0.1"

If you are using the BOM correctly, you could simplify that with the following:

compile "org.grails:grails-web-common"

I hope that helps.
