Re: [grails-user] Nimble: Mail fail (Authenticated user was not able to be obtained from metaclass)
Bradley Beddoes
Nimble simply leverages Shiro and Grails. It is an of the sorts of UI that can be built ontop of the flexibility Shiro provides.
Unfortunately as stated I am not currently maintaining Nimble and haven't been for many months. I just simply don't have the time with other full time work that actually pays the bills.
Nimble is however fully open source and all my original hacking is up on Github. The code isn't going anywhere. If nothing else it might still serve as a reasonable basis to give you some ideas on writing these components for your own grails app. Nothing it does is really earth shattering it was (or at least at the time was) simply a way to save a bunch of time with common access control stuff. It took inspiration from similar efforts in the rails space.
I highly recommend vanilla Shiro/ShiroGrails as a starting point for your access control needs, I certainly still make heavy use of it in the Java space.
regards,
Bradley
