This article discusses the integration of the grails-acegi plugin with a sample Grails application. As part of this integration, there are three major components which will be used – Groovy, Grails and Acegi Security.
Travis Jensen compares Groovy, Jython and JRuby for developing web based user interfaces.
Today marked the first day of the Groovy/Grails Experience, also known as 2GX, in Reston, Virginia. The conference spans three days and includes forty 90-minute sessions, panel discussions and code workshops. One of the first sessions of the day was Venkat Subramaniam's "DSL In Groovy." Venkat provided a thorough discussion on DSLs and how Groovy eases the creation and usage of them.
In this article Groovy Project Manager Guillaume Laforge provides an overview of the new and noteworthy features of Groovy 1.5 including support for Java 5 features with annotations, generics and enums. You will also be introduced to enhanced Groovy tooling support via Maven and IntelliJ.
The Groovy language is bringing many of the features that have become popular in Ruby to Java and the JVM. Groovy in Action by Dierk Koenig, Andrew Glover, Paul King, Guillaume Laforge and Jon Skeet provides a guided tour to learning the language and places it can be put to use. . InfoQ is excited to present an excerpt of the book of along with a review by Grails team member Jason Rudolph.
IBM Fellow and WebSphere CTO Jerry Cuomo talks about REST and Project Zero, IBM's new Groovy & PHP based RESTful app mashup / scripting / dev tool.
Groovy project manager Guillaume Laforge discusses the history of Groovy, it's relationship to Java, where Groovy fits into Java development,how Groovy compares to Ruby, how Groovy enables domain-specific languages, and what future Groovy development will focus on.
Guillaume Laforge, Groovy project manager, teaches how scripting with Groovy can increase your productivity and help you build and test solutions faster on the Java platform. Topics include Groovy the language, Ant builder, XML support, Swing support, Groovy's Meta Object Protocol, and more.
Scripting languages are of growing importance, and they are typically dynamically typed. This session discusses improved support for these languages in the JVM, through the use of the new invokedynamic bytecode and through improved support for hot-swapping--modifying code and classes on the fly while maintaining the JVM software's security and integrity.
Grails is an open-source, rapid web application development framework that provides a super-productive full-stack programming model based on the Groovy scripting language and built on top of Spring, Hibernate, and other standard Java frameworks. Over the course of this book, the reader will explore the various aspects of Grails and also experience Grails by building a Grails app.
