The application I am working on, requires different configurations for the each client. For internal QA environment, we wanted to deploy multiple instances of this app with different configuration setup so that it can be tested easily and without creating tomcat instance for each deployment. So the challenge was to use different...
We’ve been talking about it for a while and finally GrailsConf 2015 went fabulously well. It was an amazing conference, packed with sessions from an eminent lineup of speakers and over 160 participants who gathered at The Indian Habitat Centre, New Delhi. The gathering was of mostly Java and Groovy developers. I noticed many Java...

I loved the way node package manager loads and manage the JS dependencies, thought of doing that in my grails project as well. Until now all our third party JS files used to live with our source code. So loading them the way Maven loads Jar dependencies for us is what we are going to discuss in this blog. We would need to install...
I never had to worry about whether the classes loaded in our application are in the same class loader or different, until I was stuck with the weird class not found exception. We were using a third party tool (Snowbound's DocViewer) which provided around 10 jar files, which worked well for except one functionality which was provided by 3...
Grails version 2.0 and above made unit testing much simpler with so many new annotations introduced. However if you wanted to mock a specific method of a class whose method is being tested or you wanted to create a stub of the class already annotated by @Mock, things would become difficult. So I always ended up mocking methods via...

Here are the few highlights from sessions that we attended during the day. Real world applications with Spring Data Neo4j by Michael Hunger : Shared many interesting use cases of...

There are times when we need to associate data with the DOM element say td, li, div etc. I used to sometimes provide attribute 'rel' to html tag, then access it using $('divId').attr('rel'). This worked when we want to associate only one property, but doesn't work so well when there are multiple properties to be associated with the same...
While writing a test case, we are generally interested in executing only the one we are working on. With JUnit test case in grails we could say "grails test-app <ClassName>.<currentTestCase>". However it doesn't work with spock specification's. Spock framework provides multiple cool annotations, following two annotations...
Hi Friends, I was writing javascript to reload my page with different parameters. So I needed to create the queryString of those parameters but I didn't want to create it of my own. I already knew about jQuery.serialize() which serializes the form and creates the queryString, but unfortunately I didn't have form. So that gave me...
Many at times, we have a string which needs to be converted into Enum. I will be sharing few options as stated by Mr.Haki, Isa Goksu and in the last the one I discovered during the process. Lets say we have a Enum AccountType as given below : [groovy] enum AccountType { CHECKING, SAVING } assert AccountType.CHECKING...
