Hi Chee Kin,

Good to hear from you. Yeah, we have been using Grails 2.0 since the RC1. It's cool and all but man the final war file is bloated like crazy. :-D

How about you, using it already?

Hey Seymour,

Great to hear from you too! You know that size is the typical problem of Java web application. It's doesn't really matter as disk and memory resources is cheap.

I am very much stick with 1.3.7.

It would be good if you can post more detail about the job in separate thread.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Chee Kin

Hi All,
Haven't tried the 2.0 yet. Still with 1.3.7. I love grails for the simplicity and agility, but the memory footprint can be huge. Any tips on managing this?
BTW, anyone looking at OSGi-fying grails? I know there's been one released, but love to see something like Sling or like those planned for Lift.

Cheers,

Hi Suhaizal,

I think you may reduce memory footprint of Grails by remove unnecessary and optional jar files that not used by your web application. It is just an idea, I not sure whether it is feasible.

Regarding OSGi-fying grails, I do aware that this feature was in initial roadmap of Grails 2.0.0, obviously the Grails team decided to lower the priority of this feature and push it forward to upcoming Grails version. It may due to lower demand of this feature from Grails community.

Is there any release for OSGi-fied grails? A URL is very much appreciated.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Chee Kin

Hi Suhaizal,

To run Tomcat well you typically need atleast 1GM RAM and then tweak the Xmx and Xms settings. I have successfully run many Grails app with that strategy. Yeah you can save some memory by removing unused jars but in the overall scheme of things you should go get more memory.

I personally was looking forward to see a OSGI-based grails but then again, the cool thing about Grails is that you get all the cool features without the need to think about how it works below the grails layer. So I can wait for OSGI support another day. :-D

Chee King, a smallish grails 2.0 app is now at 31mb. Seriously, 31mb! I can really feel it when I transfer the way to another server man. :-D

Hi Seymores,

Thanks for further sharing.

Is the size of 31mb really matter to you? It's doesn't matter to me at all.

Best regards,
Chee Kin

31mb is noticeable when sync on my dropbox via fibreoptic broadband -- so ya it's not a big deal but disturbing enough.
