Synopsis

Java professionals long for the productivity of a framework like Ruby on Rails provides without having to leave the Java platform. The new open source lightweight Grails Framework provides the missing link by using the best aspects of the Java-based Groovy scripting language as well as the Java platform itself. This Rails-like framework gives dynamic Java a boost; Java developers now have a viable Java-based solution instead of the non-Java-based Ruby on Rails, which can create more problems than it solves. Learn all about this in The Definitive Guide to Grails, written by the Grails project founder and lead. Grails is a fast-emerging area of much interest.
