Robert Fischer is a multi-language open source developer currently specializing in Groovy in Grails. In the past, his specialties have been in Perl, Java, Ruby, and OCaml. In the future, his specialty will probably be F# or (preferably) a functional JVM language like Scala or Clojure.
Robert is the author of Grails Persistence in GORM and GSQL, a regular contributor to GroovyMag and JSMag, the founder of the JConch Java concurrency library, and the author/maintainer of Liquibase-DSL and the Autobase database migration plugin for Grails.

Open Source Update: jQuery PeriodicalUpdater, TestingLabs, GPars, etc.
Posted Friday, March 12, 2010
I’ve done a fair bit of fairly small open source updates recently. jQuery PeriodicalUpdater: The main function now returns a handle that can be used to call stop(), thereby ignoring any updates that may come back and prevent more »Scala: Post-Functional, Post-Modern, or Just Perl++?
Posted Saturday, March 6, 2010
Let’s start with some background. I complained that Scala did not seem to be very functional to me, but I didn’t really know how best to express what was fundamentally wrong with it. I did know that if “functional more »DynamicDomainProperties and the AGPL
Posted Saturday, February 20, 2010
I just released the DynamicDomainProperties plugin for Grails, which allows domain classes to have dynamic properties. It’s pretty nifty, if I do say so myself. Based on my frustration with the Grails plugin culture because o more »Presentations

By Robert Fischer
For years, the venerable Hibernate object-relational mapping framework has dominated the persistence scene in Java. The Grails web application framework extended Hibernate and Spring with their impressive GORM persistence framework, providing convention-over-configuration development to the O/RM and DAO layers.
This session will move through a quick introduction of GORM, HQL, and the GORM plugins.
Grails for the Enterprise
By Robert Fischer
The Grails web application is an innovative hybrid of best-of-breed Java technologies and dynamic/convention-based development. The result is a powerful, flexible, exciting framework that still fits comfortably into enterprise stacks.
This session introduces Grails, but approaches it from the perspective of an enterprise web development stack, in order to see how Grails works well in mid-size and mature development shops.

Unique to the popular Grails web framework is its architecture. While other frameworks are built from the ground up, Grails leverages existing and proven technologies that already have advanced functionality built in. One of the key technologies in this architecture is Hibernate, on top of which Grails builds its GORM (Grails Object Relational Mapping) model layer. This provides Grails a persistence solution.
Published with the developer in mind, firstPress technical briefs explore emerging technologies that have the potential to be critical for tomorrow’s industry. Apress keeps developers one step ahead by presenting key information as early as possible in a PDF of 150 pages or less. Explore the future through Apress with Grails Persistence with GORM and GSQL
This firstPress book covers Grails persistence with GORM, from defining your first model to the nature of transactions and advanced Hibernate querying. Other APIs and tools such as GSQL (Groovy SQL) are covered as well, as needed, to empower your Grails persistence efforts.
What you’ll learn
- Extend the Grails web framework into a broader, semi–enterprise framework by including and integrating Hibernate–based Java persistence, known as GORM.
- Use mappings to customize default behaviors and work with legacy schemas.
- Use constraints to define your object once and have those constraints enforced both in code and at the database level.
- Use advanced features of GORM and Hibernate Query Language (HQL) to simplify database querying and report generation.
- Debug and tune trips for GORM and Hibernate.
- Fill in the gaps with GSQL.
Who is this book for
This title is for those who have committed to dedicating some time to mastering Grails and are looking to move beyond the basics, and are especially interested in Grails and Groovy persistence for some limited transaction handling and/or accessing databases.
