groovy.lang.MissingMethodException when calling withHttp() from a service

[ghost]

Service class:

class GeoCoderService {
    def getLatLong(String address) {
        def result = null
        withHttp(uri: "http://maps.googleapis.com") {
            def html = get(path : '/maps/api/geocode/json', query : [address:address])
            if ( html.results != null && html.results.size() > 0 ) {
                def partial = html.results[0]
                if ( partial.geometry != null && partial.geometry.location != null) {
                    def lat = partial.geometry.location.lat
                    def lng = partial.geometry.location.lng
                    result = [lat:Double.valueOf(lat.toString()), lng:Double.valueOf(lng.toString())]
                }
            }
        }
        return result
    }
}

Controller class:

class GeneralController {

    def geoCoderService

    def index = {
        render (view: "index")
    }

    def test = {
        def point = geoCoderService.getLatLong('1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043')
        render "latitude = ${point.lat}"
        render "longitude = ${point.lng}"
    }
}
