This Week in Grails (2012-22)

Monday, June 04th, 2012

Groovy 2.0 RC1 and RC2 were released this week. Lots of cool stuff there, including static type checking and static compilation, and support for InvokeDynamic. Grails 2.2 will use Groovy 2.0.

Stéphane Maldini created a demo app (source here) using “CloudFoundry, RabbitMQ, BackboneJS, Coffeescript, and the new 3 Events Bus plugins (platform-core, events-si and events-push)” based on Lauri Piispanen’s blog post.

I did a post this week on using AST transformations with the Spring Security plugin, Make your Spring Security @Secured annotations more DRY.

A couple more GR8Conf interviews:
