This session introduces the Grails open-source web application framework. Based on Groovy, Grails aims for “coding by convention” to make development as simple as possible. Grails integrates best of breed APIs from the Java EE sphere including Spring, Hibernate and SiteMesh. Grails brings to Java and Groovy developers the ‘joys’ of rapid development while—importantly—allowing them to leverage their existing knowledge, integrate existing Java-based systems and capitalize on the proven and performant APIs Java developers have been using for years.

In this session, you will see how Grails makes it easy to develop powerful database-driven web applications quickly and with minimal overhead. Grails is an important new technology with a high “WOW factor” that is sure to have an influence on the future of Oracle Fusion Middleware. Remember, you saw it here first!
