Advanced GORM - Performance, Customization and Monitoring

You've used GORM in Grails apps, you've written custom criteria and HQL queries, and now you're ready to take database access in Grails to the next level.

In this talk we'll look at improving performance of Grails apps by avoiding mapped collections, strategies for second-level caching using EhCache, runtime monitoring and graphing, and using a custom Configuration subclass to customize your Hibernate config beyond what GORM mappings provide.
