Converting Grails Applications to Plugins and vice versa

I was in London last week on vacation with my family and was lucky that there was a London GGUG meetup during my visit. David Dawson discussed modularizing Grails applications by refactoring them into multiple plugins (you can see the video of his talk more »This Week in Grails (2013-20)

When you think about securing a Grails application, you probably think of the Spring Security and Shiro plugins. But these plugins only control access to your pages and objects – what about guarding agains cross-site scripting (XSS), cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and SQL injection attacks? The OWASP project maintains a list of the top 10 web application security risks.
In this talk we’ll look at these risks and what libraries and plugins are available to make your applications resistant to these types of attacks.
Grails Transactions
By Burt Beckwith
Properly performing multiple data updates requires a transaction, but how do we do this in Grails? Services are the best option, but there are different approaches that can be used.
We'll look at how to effectively use transactions and how to customize transaction attributes such as isolation and propagation levels. We'll also look at using two-phase commit (2PC) when using multiple datasources, or when combining database updates with JMS messaging. And we'll also look at testing to ensure your code is properly transactional.
Grails Plugin Best Practices
By Burt Beckwith
Grails plugins are a great way to reuse and share common code, and to modularize an application. In this talk we'll look at the general process for creating a plugin.
In addition, we'll look at the different types of plugins, how to deploy and release, and options for various testing approaches.
