Grails WebAlbum

Grails WebAlbum

After completing my programming course, which introduced the students to Ruby on Rails, and developing a simple photo album application called WebAlbum, I decided that it was time to explore one of the more interesting of the new web application frameworks in the Java arena – Grails.

This article outlines my first attempt using Grails, though I already had experience with Groovy, the JVM compatible dynamic language, the Spring framework, Hibernate, and of course, Java. I used Grails version 1.0.2, see the Grails installation article for further details on downloading and installing Grails.
