This Week in Grails (2012-17)

Check out this post on using Shiro to secure a Grails application. The Spring Security plugins are much more widely used but Shiro is an excellent security framework and deserves a lot more attention in the Grails community.

Not strictly Grails-related, but an interesting read on using WebSockets in Tomcat 7.

And not even coding-related, but here are two funny Tumbler sites that should be in your RSS reader: Texts From Dog and one tiny hand.

    I definitely agree about Shiro. I’ve found it easier to use than Spring Security.

      Posting a question on a random blog post isn’t the most efficient way to get help. Try the Grails User mailing list.
