Real World Groovy on Grails: Integrating Grails With The Outside World

In this talk, we’ll explore lessons learned from using Groovy on Grails to build several large(ish) real world projects that are part of the ScrewPile suite. Moving beyond trivial Grails intros, we’ll explore how to build Grails apps that do things like: send and receive JMS messages, publish and consume RSS feeds, use JAX-RS to expose REST endpoints, use scheduled jobs, integrate text search using Lucene, and parse content with Tika. This talk will feature NO slides, just actual code and demonstrations!

Also, for reference, here is the link from where he gave this talk previously at Tri-JUG.
