Getting Started with Groovy, Grails, and MySQL
(live webcast with Scott Davis, two-time JavaOne RockStar award winner)

Groovy is an agile dynamic language that dramatically speeds up Java development. Grails is a Java- and Groovy-based web framework that brings modern practices like scaffolding and convention over configuration to the Java platform.

If you want to "skin" your exiting MySQL database with a web front-end, Grails is the perfect solution. Or, you can let GORM (Grails Object/Relational Mapping API) manage the database for you in your greenfield development. You can define one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many relationships in your Grails domain classes. Grails 1.2 offers new support for named queries, JPA annotations, and finer-grained control of both your data source and cache.

There will be live coding demos of the following:
  • Creating a new Grails application
  • Mapping a Grails application to an existing database schema
  • Creating relationships between domain classes
  • Working with GORM methods
