By Dave Klein
The goal of this hands-on tutorial is to get started and get productive with Grails. We’ll do this by jumping right in and building an application, from design to deployment.
Rather than try to learn Grails feature by feature, we’ll let it unfold as we build the application. We’ll begin with a simple application structure that runs right out of the box, then we’ll gradually build our application while building our knowledge of Grails. Bring your laptop and be ready to code.
We will be using Grails 1.3.5 for the exercises.
Grails: Bringing Radical Productivity to the JVM Part II
By Dave Klein
In Part II of this session, we will continue the build out process with the Grails application.
When we’re done, you’ll have learned about:
- Grails Domain Classes
- Dynamic scaffolding
- Grails Controllers
- Groovy Server Pages
- GSP Tags
- Grails Object Relational Mapping (GORM)
- Dynamically Injected Service Classes
- Grails’ Javascript and Ajax Support
- URL Mapping
This is an introduction, but it is also a deep dive. So bring your laptop and be ready to code.
We will be using Grails 1.3.5 for the exercises.
Grails Integration Strategies
By Dave Klein
It's amazing how quickly one can build web applications with Grails in a greenfield environment, but most of us do not have that luxury. We have existing infrastructure and applications that we have to maintain and extend. We have legacy databases (or legacy database administrators) to deal with. Does this mean we cannot benefit from the magic of Grails? No way! The ease of use and productivity of Grails is matched by its power and flexibility. In this session we will discuss some of the ways that Grails can be integrated with the enterprise; EJB/JSF applications, Spring/Hibernate, legacy databases, and even non-Java applications.
Some of the strategies we will cover include: - Integrating with existing Spring MVC applications - JSF Integration with IceFaces - Communicating enterprise-wide with Web Services - Calling EJB session beans from a Grail application - Using Grails' ORM mapping to access legacy databases - Accessing JNDI resources from Grails - Using AJAX to call Grails' services from any web page

Grails is a full stack web development framework that enables you to build complete web applications in a fraction of the time and with less code than other frameworks.
In Grails: A Quick-Start Guide, you'll see how to use Grails by iteratively building an unique, working application. By the time we're done, you'll have built and deployed a real, functioning website.
Along the way, we'll learn about domain classes, controllers, and GSP views. We'll see how Grails allows us to use powerful frameworks like Spring and Hibernate without even knowing it.
Using this hands-on, pragmatic approach, we'll explore topics such as AJAX in Grails, custom tags, and plugins. We'll dig into Grails' powerful view technology, Groovy Server Pages, and see how we can easily leverage the help given to us by scaffolding to create custom user interfaces faster than you would have thought possible.
With Grails, you can get a lot done with little effort. With this book, you'll get a lot done as well. It's time to bring the fun back into web programming. Get started with Grails today.
