October DFW2GUG Meeting - Replacing Struts with Grails: Project Review and Lessons Learned

Abstract:  This is a project and technology comparative review of a commercial grade

Groovy/Grails application that replaced Struts in a .gov domain.

Reviewing some design and code, as appropriate, the  emphasis is on Lessons

Learned, so you can advocate Groovy and Grails, as a design win vs. traditional

Java EE approaches.

We will cover over the project starting point, goals, approach, technology

decisions, development experience and project results.  We will also learn

a bit about leveraging the Amazon cloud on this project.
