Scott's Advanced Grails talk...

quote: make easy things easy, hard things possible

many-many relationships not easy
but possible

grails brings together lots of popular java libs/frameworks
grails uses spring mvc for views
user auth uses spring acegi

google: many to many relationship grails
managed by hand in domain class
see BookAuthor class/slide
not a bad solution

get on grails mailing list->codehaus project

grails ships with prototype, scriptaculous, yui out of the box
in view:

emits >script src=... tag into response

take a look at:
google: cos.jar
manages file upload nicely
+ others
project: "com.oreilly.servlet"

file upload is nice
uses spring under the covers

security through acegi
need to install plugin
gem-like:
grails list-plugins
grails install the_plugin
grails.org: jsecurity plugin
