Stackoverflow is in a frenzied state for first posts, and your question has had no answer for 15 hours, thus we can declare the answer to be "No." :)

Answer 4

I helped out a startup in San Francisco that are using Grails with facebook apps. So yes, it's happening. There is even a grails plugin for facebook integration (at the time I'm writing this is woefully incomplete, but looks like it's having work done so check up on it again soon).

Answer 5

I'm really struggling with the Grails facebook connect plugin. The documentation on the grails web site is about one page. We also support a direct registration/login using Acegi security plugin and for users alternatively connecting through facebook we need to create a user in our db. It isn't clear to me at all how I intercept a successful facebook connect login and then retrieve information about the facebook user to create our own user.

Have you come across any other documentation or examples of grails apps using the plugin.

What little we got to work we had to back out because currently you cannot deploy a war file containing the plugin without getting a hard stop. Apparently the plugin runs fine when launched from an IDE, but not when deploying the war file.

Answer 6

I'm deep into Facebook integration from the social networking site ESMZone.com. I orignially started using the Grails facebook-connect plugin and had good success at Facebook sign-on integration with the Grails jScurity plugin. However, as I attempted to implement other features, particularly Friend Invitations, I found that the facebook-connect plugin uses a old facebook SDK that was not compatible with the newer Javascript SDK. Documentation and examples using this newer SDK were readily available in searches unlike for the older API.

I switched to the Grails facebook-graph plugin and was able to work seemlessly with the Javascript API and get friend invitation working.
