This Week in Grails (2013-09)
We released Grails 2.1.4 and 2.2.1 this week; they are primarily bug fix releases.
Registration for GR8Conf Europe 2013 is now open. Be sure to sign up soon while the prices are very low.
I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz about Dropwizard as a framework for creating REST services. I thought it would be interesting to integrate it with Grails, but it ended up being a lot more work than I expected since the two approaches are very different, and very opinionated. I have an initial implementation available of a plugin
and will add some docs and a sample application soon.
