It has even hinted at in the Java and XML Conference (Jax) in Wiesbaden, that is expected soon with a new version of Grails. Since 01.05.2007, the version 0.5 now from the download page of the Grails project will be downloaded. In particular, the performance has increased again. Were already in the cached version 0.4.2, the Gant scripts, it is now, according to changelog was shot once in the performance of screw. And that feels like that. Also among the new features:
- Custom URL mappings DSL
Since this version it is possible to arbitrary mapping actions and controllers to be configured. - Command objects
Are a simple mechanism to validate form input - List & Map support in GORM
- Support for components (composition) in a domain class (Hibernate "components")
By this technique it is possible relationships to other classes to create domain, which are not stored in separate database tables - Base64 codec
- Resolving dependencies with Ivy
- Project metadata and versioning support, smarter scripts and upgrade processes
- Script event hooks
This makes it possible to plug investigators, the mount in events that are fired during the execution of Grails target. - Dynamically added log objects in all artifacts
- a new Artefact API for plugins
I switched just because of the performance. A glimpse of how easy it is developing with Grails offer that Sreencasts the project site. Anyone who has ever tried to create the taglibs will agree with me.
