Grails: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 13:57, 17 May 2007

Grails is a next-generation web development framework powered by Groovy and Java technologies.

Grails use the embeddable Groovy jar. You will run into problems if you use the standalone Groovy jar.

Grails use currently as of 0.5.0 a custom build of a Spring-modules snapshot. You must thus use the .jar provided in Grails distribution.

Under the hood, Grails uses Gant as its build system. Gant is based on Ant but allows you to write build files with Groovy code: you are no longer restrained to XML programming!

If you write your own Gant scripts (in $PROJECT_HOME/scripts), you can apparently completely customize the build process.

Note that when running the embedded Jetty server (or when running any Grails script for that matter), the additional JAR dependencies are loaded in the classpath.
