I want to build a web application like a wiki and a forum. There will be much more readers than editors. My favourites to implement it are Grails and Wicket. Grails: I like the integrated environment with which you can start quickly. I think the classic stateless mvc approach is well suited to a content centric website. Disadvantages ar...
I have a need to specify a custom salt when encoding passwords with acegi 0.5.2 plugin for grails. I have found a tutorial that shows how to use a ReflectionSaltSource using a parameter of the user (possibly the username). However, I was unable to get that to work and I actually need to be able to control the salt more than just pickin...

Today someone told me I should give Grails a try. So we can still use our old java code for some things, but develop much faster. This isn't really a debate on what programming language is better, although if you have tips I'm all ears, but really my question is: Is Grails just an overhyped fashionable thing to use, or is it here to st...

My GSP view code looks like: <% if (resExists(dir: "images", file:"img.jpg")) {%> <img src="${g.resource(dir:'images',file: 'img.jpg')}"> <% else { %> <img src="${g.resource(dir:'images',file: 'noimg.jpg')}"> <%}%> How ...

Is there a visual GUI builder, such as GWTDesigner that one could use in developing with Grails? I am new to Grails and am presently working from the command line and using a text editor. I have briefly looked at using Eclipse and Netbeans as IDEs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ...
I'm very new to grails (day 2). First, I find it hard to find easily browsable resources (the documentation is very raw, and the tutorials are spread out and only show 'hello world' types of examples ). I've set up my domain class with a relationship to other data types. class ShopCategoryPage{ //some stuff ProductProcedure procedure;...
I have a checkbox on my GSP page as follows (which was stolen directly from the scaffolded "create" code for my domain object)... <tr class="prop"> <td valign="top" class="name"> <label for="isSelling"><g:message code="person.isSelling.label" default="Is Selling" /></label> </td> <td valign="top" class="value ${hasErrors(bean: personI...

How come it is good practice within Grails to place classes in packages (e.g. mycompany.Book)? I know it is a prerequisite in order to deploy Grails solution to the Google App Engine (using the plugin), but other than that and a well structured code library for large projects, what other benefits are there in describing packages for cl...
Hi, I've been looking in some of the latest Grails books and many open source projects for samples and best practices for adding search/filter functionality to scaffolded list.gsp:s, eg making it work with pagination and sorting etc. This may be a simple task, but being a Grails newcomer it would be of great benefit in having some thorou...

I have a field in my domain object which I define as an Integer... Integer minPrice I then access it in a GSP page as follows: ${fieldValue(bean: myBean, field: 'minPrice')} and what I get in my HTML is... 100,000 which is not an Integer, it's a String. Worse still it's a formatted String in a particular locale. This is a prob...
i am currently implementing a grails web-app, with a couple of complex forms where modifications on an association graph should be managed "in-memory" (that is the http session) as long as the entity or top-level domain object is not saved. e.g. top-to-bottom: Document -> Categories -> Sub-Categories ... requirement: modifications to ...
