Grails, JQuery, and AJAX | AlexDuan.com

Grails out of the box uses Prototype for its JavaScript framework, which means that developers have a number of GSP taglibs available which will automatically generate Prototype code to make AJAX-y calls.
Unfortunately, I “grew up” using JQuery, and thus feel more comfortable using JQuery as my JS framework. Luckily, Grails “has a plugin for that.” This means that if you’ve been using the Grails taglibs to generate your remote calls, you can install the plugin and it will generate JQuery code instead. Great for when you switch out your JS frameworks midstream…am I right?
