Expand your business with Groovy - Case Study

As a small company, it's often necessary to add new features to get the biggest customers to buy your product. Hyperic HQ was a large, enterprise application based on J2EE and Struts. When big clients came to us they frequently required feature additions to close the deal. Groovy gave us the power to say YES to these customers without making any invasive modifications to our code base, allowed us to scale up for extremely large customers, and gave us a new point of contact for community contributions.

In this talk, I'll describe patterns that Hyperic used to give customers specific one-off plugins to dynamically add UI screens, customize existing features, and integrate with external systems. In addition, I'll explain how to use Groovy to make supporting your deployed applications infinitely easier.
