Any web application consists mainly of two tasks, i.e, development, and deployment. For web application development, we can use any tools but for deployment, we need to be careful of what environments are supported by the framework. At the time of Grails 2, we just needed to execute grails war and put the generated war to a container,...

We can write code using any one style of following two: Style 1: [sourcecode language="java"] function func() { return 6; } [/sourcecode] and Style 2: [sourcecode language="java"] function func() ...
Hi everyone, Some time ago I was trying to debug my Grails application which was running on Grails version 2.3.4. I usually debug using remote debug configuration inside IntelliJ IDEA and issuing a command like "grails-debug run-app".
