This Week in Grails (2011-34)

Monday, August 29th, 2011

Micro Cloud Foundry, a downloadable VMware image that you can run locally to test Cloud Foundry, was released this week. Check out Peter Ledbrook’s blog post on using it with Grails, and also check out this post on using it with Spring applications. In related news Cloud Foundry now has support for PHP and Python.

There’s been some good activity with the user guide translations. There’s a discussion in the grailsEnCastellano Google group about working on a Spanish translation, and the approach they’re taking makes a lot of sense. They’ve setup a shared Google Docs spreadsheet where people can signup for sections to spread the workload among several translators – so far Aitor Alzola (who does the Spanish translations of these posts), Alberto Vilches, Dani Latorre, and Domingo Suarez Torres have committed to sections. If you’re interested in doing a new language translation see this post for how to get started.

Marc Palmer asked people to tweet why they love Grails and the response has been great. Search Twitter for the #whyilovegrails hashtag for people’s responses so far, and tweet your own if you haven’t yet.

Micro Cloud Foundry, una imagen descargable de VMware que puedes ejecutar de manera local para probar Cloud Foundry, ha sido liberada esta semana. Échale un vistazo a la entrada en el blog de Peter Ledbrook sobre como usarlo con Grails, y también esta entrada sobre como usarlo con aplicaciones Spring. Además Cloud Foundry tiene ahora soporte para PHP y Python.

Ha habido bastante actividad con las traducciones de la guía de usuario. Hay una discusión en el grupo de Google grailsEnCastellano sobre trabajar en la traducción al castellano, y el enfoque que han tomado tiene sentido. Tienen una hoja de calculo de Google Docs compartida donde la gente puede reservar secciones para repartir el trabajo entre varios traductores. Hasta ahora Aitor Alzola (quien hace las traducción de estas entradas), Alberto Vilches, Dani Latorre, y Domingo Suarez Torres han reservado secciones. Si estas interesado en hacer una traducción nueva lee esta entrada para saber como empezar.

Marc Palmer ha pedido a la gente “twitear” porque aman Grails y ha hadido una gran respuesta. Buscando en Twitter por el hashtag #whyilovegrails para ver las respuestas de la gente, y “twitea” la tuya sino lo has hecho aún.

Traducido por Aitor Alzola

René Scheibe ha liberado un plugin para Eclipse/STS para CodeNarc. Esto es estupendo porque te permite ver las reglas que estas rompiendo mientras trabajas.

Peter Ledbrook ha empezado una discusión en la lista de desarrollo sobre el proceso para traducir las guias de usuario de Grails a varios lenguajes. Esto ha generado mucho interes y algunos commits (incluidos algunos hacia una traducción al Portugues hecha por Paulo Pereira quien traduce estas entradas todas las semanas), y hay también una traducción al Japones disponible. Hay un fork en Github al que cualquiera puede tener acceso para subir las traducciones, y este trabajo se pasará el repositorio principal periódicamente. Mira esta entrada para saber como empezar.

Un nuevo plugin ha sido liberado que ha despertado mi interes, spring-security-saml. Es una extensión del plugin Spring Security Core y añade soporte para SAML. Trabajé con SAML hace un par de años y no fue muy divertido. Tengo esperanzas de que este plugin ayude a los usuarios a evitar el dolor que suele ser habitual intentando hacer funcionar una autenticación basada en SAML.

This Week in Grails (2011-33)

Sunday, August 21st, 2011

René Scheibe has released a CodeNarc plugin for Eclipse/STS. This is great since it allows you to see rule violations in real time as you work. Very cool stuff.

Peter Ledbrook started a discussion on the Dev mailing list about a process for translating the Grails user guide into multiple languages. This has generated a lot of interest and some commits already (including some towards a Portuguese translation by Paulo Pereira who translates these posts each week), and there’s already a Japanese translation available. There’s now a Github fork that anyone can get access to for committing translations, and that work will be pulled into the main repo periodically. See this post for how to get started.

A new plugin was released this week that got my interest, spring-security-saml. This is an extension plugin for the Spring Security Core plugin and adds SAML support. I worked with SAML a couple of years ago and it wasn’t much fun. I have high hopes this plugin will help users to avoid the pain usually involved in getting SAML-based authentication working.

This Week in Grails (2011-32)

Monday, August 15th, 2011

RabbitMQ messaging support for Cloud Foundry was announced this week. Check out this tutorial from Chris Harris using the Cloud Foundry and RabbitMQ plugins.

SpringSource Tool Suite 2.8.0.M1 was released this week and it includes support for Grails 2.0 M1 among other updates and fixes.

There’s an interesting new plugin available which provides “A basic Shiro User Interface” version 1.0-beta3. I’m interested not because I’ll ever use it, but because you might, and this will shift some of the support pressure off the Spring Security plugins and onto the Shiro plugin 🙂

The Groovy team is working on moving their source from SVN to Github. Check out this initial import.

If you want to keep up with these “This Week in Grails” posts you can access them directly via their category link or in an RSS reader with the feed for just these posts.

Traducido por Aitor Alzola

El soporte para RabbitMQ para Cloud Foundry ha sido anunciado esta semana. Mira este tutorial de Chris Harris usando el plugin Cloud Foundry y RabbitMQ.

SpringSource Tool Suite 2.8.0.M1 ha sido liberado esta semana e incluye soporte para Grails 2.0 M1 entre otras actualizaciones y correcciones.

Hay un plugin nuevo muy interesante que proporciona una interfaz básica para Shiro versión 1.0-beta3. Estoy interesado no porque lo vaya a usar, sino porque tú debes usarlo, y esto transladara algo de la presión de soporte del plugin de Spring Security hacia el plugin de Shiro

El equipo de Groovy está trabajando en mover su código desde SVN a Github. Échale un vistazo a este import inicial.

Traducción al español de Aitor Alzola:

La respuesta a la versión 2.0.0.M1 de Grails ha sido estupenda, y un montón de desarrolladores la han probado en nuevos proyectos y actualizando proyectos anteriores. Hemos tenidos algunas incidencias, pero en general ha sido una versión muy estable.

He liberado la versión 1.2 del plugin Spring Security Core que tiene nuevas características pero es principalmente una versión para solucionar las incompatibilidades con Grails 2.0. La nueva funcionalidad más destacable es que la clase de dominio generada User ahora maneja la encriptación internamente, así que no es necesario llamar a springSecurityService.encodePassword().

Gaelyk 1.0 ha sido liberado esta semana, felicidades a Guillaume y los otros colaboradores.

This Week in Grails (2011-31)

Sunday, August 07th, 2011

The response to the 2.0.0.M1 Grails release has been great, and a lot of developers have tried it out with new projects and upgrading older projects. There have been some reported issues, but overall it’s a very stable release.

I released version 1.2 of the Spring Security Core plugin which has new features but was primarily released to address an incompatibility with Grails 2.0. The coolest new feature is that the generated User domain classes now handle password encryption internally, so it’s no longer necessary to call springSecurityService.encodePassword().

Gaelyk 1.0 was released this week – congrats to Guillaume and the other contributors on getting to 1.0.

This Week in Grails (2011-30)

Monday, August 01st, 2011

The big news this week is the 2.0.0.M1 release of Grails. This is a big release with a ton of features. Check out the Release Notes and the current user guide, in particular the What’s new in Grails 2.0? notes. Also check out the docs on using Grails 2.0 in STS.

Marco Vermeulen has updated his Ubuntu installation process for 2.0 and Rene Gröschke has updated macports.

I missed an item last week – Lucas Teixeira announced a new Grails-based site launch, Simbo – Real Estate Agencies Platform, which he describes as “a web-based platform for real estate agencies and individual agents”. Sounds pretty cool – check it out.
