An agile dynamic language for the Java Platform with many features that are inspired by languages
like Python, Ruby and Smalltalk, making them available to Java developers using a Java-like syntax.
Grails is the frameworks which works on Groovy language muck alike Rails framework on Ruby
which promises to make the development of an enterprise application a matter of fun by cutting
of the time of making classes and loads of deployment descriptors every time you need something
as simple as printing out Hello Fidelis . Moreover Grails provides the same flexibility for AJAX
integration as Rails does.
“Groovy somehow bridges two worlds: the scripting world and the enterprise Java world…
Surely the throughput by working with Grails would definitely be higher than working the current
methodologies of J2EE in my opinion. This would be the biggest and probably the best thing to
ever happen to the Java community in the current web world of AJAX. The promising a nature of
Grails comes as more trustworthy with the heavy weights like SUN, BEA, Oracle and IBM giving their
support to its developmental activities. Seems like the time has arrived where the Java community
including me can find time to party at last! A test of time, can Groovy be the Holy Grail for Java
world? |
