Later than we hoped but let's say there were issues upstream of us :)
http://www.tropicana.co.uk/The UK arm of the famous orange and related juices uses:
* Grails 0.4
* StaticResourcesPlugin 0.2
* ModelTagLib
* I18NTagLib
Again its a very simple site in "Web developer" terms but there's a
bit of data collection smarts in there, plus some more things to
come. A fun bit was setting up wallpapers to download with their
content-disposition set so they download instead of display. I still
don't think I have this 100% right for all browsers, but it was done
just using Apache mod_headers which was a nice solution because
getting Tomcat to serve these large files would have been madness.
There's quite a bit of flash on the site, but none of it is served by
Tomcat and is hence not in the .WAR thanks to
StaticResourcesPlugin... which was totally broken until this morning
in production, sorry guys - unit tested well but then you find that
on a live box grails.env is not set at all...
Soon we will move all images to static serving and the site should be
even snappier.
There are some known issues (ugly chars in the country list!) and
some significant updates to come to both Copella and Tropicana sites
in the near term... and there are more sites to come in before the
summer! :)
Thanks again to all the grails devs for making this possible.
Tropicana was much less painful than, nay very enjoyable, compared to
Copella as 0.4 is such a landmark release for putting Grails sites
into live production.
