Important Links for Grails

It's so crazy that this is not easily found or published on the grails site.  There is an argument for using the maven site generator since this type of stuff can be found in a standard location in the site navigation.  Grails should take a lesson here, convention over configuration;)  (this is tongue in cheek)

spring batch

Here are a few tips if you want to incorporate the spring batch project...

1)  Make sure you get the xsd and namespace stuff right in your resources.xml file   I had to combine a few namespaces from the example files and ended up with an extra double quote that affected the bean creation.

Here's where I ended it:

spring batch in grails

Posted Wed, 12/23/2009 - 17:20 by prhodes

I am trying to setup the spring batch project (2.0M4 version) to run with grails (1.2)  I wanted to get the sample stuff up and running, so I created groovy files out of the various sample files that came with spring batch.  Unfortunately, the sample files use Java inner classes, which groovy can't handle yet.

For now, I will just make these Java files, but I was a little surprised since I thought just about any syntactically correct java file was a valid Groovy file.  Guess again.  You learn something every day.

 

Testing drupal with grails webtest

Posted Mon, 11/16/2009 - 15:11 by prhodes

I was implementing a Drupal site with a custom module that uses a custom mysql database.  The client reported problems with a custom module.  I tried reproducting the problem, but after trying 20 some combinations out of 1000+ test elements, I wasn't able to reproduce the questionable behavior.

Enter grails with webtest.

Groovy Templating vs. Velocity

Posted Fri, 07/03/2009 - 12:06 by prhodes

Maybe this comparison is unfair, since the Groovy Templating mechanisms are relatively new and velocity has been around for years, but still, I did round into some troubles and just wanted to give some advice.

ant tomcat deploy task hangs

Posted Wed, 06/03/2009 - 10:28 by prhodes

I tried to use the catalina ant tasks  to deploy my grails war into tomcat, and it's not working well in hudson.  So, I am just going to do the tried and true method.

Hudson continuous integration server with grails

Posted Wed, 06/03/2009 - 09:10 by prhodes

I was up until 2 am last night setting up the stitches project with hudson.  I am NOT complaining.  I had to configure a few projects to build/test and DEPLOY into the demo tomcat instance.

Using wicket in a grails app

Posted Sat, 05/16/2009 - 17:51 by prhodes

I am a HUGE fan of wicket.  Amazing how productive and awesome it is.  Anyway, I was developing a grails application as an example client to the stitches repository.  Ouch, which everything works, it's so tedious.  Loop here, fetch her, set this, get this.  Down to the nuts-n-bolts of an action-oriented framework.
