Re: Anyone else using Groovy?

fyi, Rick alreday made some stripes/groovy samples :

Well, for me there are a couple of things.  I actually really like  
some of the groovy language idioms.  I find that I'm often taking a  
list of objects and making a list of IDs or vice versa.  In Java this  
is a bit verbose, but I like groovy's style:

List<Long> ids = foos.collect { it.getId(); }

And for me, getting rid of getters/setters is actually significant.   
I don't like the clutter, and more importantly it makes it much more  
obvious when you have a non-standard getter or setter (lazy loader,  
or something) mixed in with the rest - because there is no rest of  
them any more.

The other thing I've been wondering about is that if there were  
enough demand for it we could try adding "improved" groovy support.   
E.g. throw your groovy actions under WEB-INF and we'll use groovy's  
built in stuff to do auto-reloading etc.

My 2c.

Seems like Remi and I had a discussion about this a few weeks ago.   
I've
been kind of waiting for someone else to give it a go before I dove  
in.
I'd suspect Tim's crazy admin action bean is a rare case.  The only
thing I see that would make using Groovy over straight Java a non- 
issue
is that a good ActionBean isn't that complicated and getters/ 
setters can
be generated by the IDE.  So can anyone make a *real* case for why
Groovy would be worthwhile in this case?

Don't get me wrong. I love gant and I like using Groovy for quick and
dirty prototypes and like Remi enjoy it more than shell scripts.  But
outside of Grails considering everything else Grails does, I'm not
sure.  Unless we moved the Stripes annotations into something more  
like
Grails constraints I just don't see the pay off.

Thanks for the info. Like you, I tried Groovy pre-1.5 support and
really liked what I saw. Especially being able to use closures in
mappings and iterations, which I love (and why I wrote
FunctionalJ to tide me over until something better would become
available).

I always thought Groovy+Stripes would be a very nice
combination. So thanks for confirming that now with the 1.5
support, it is indeed a workable solution.

Cheers,
Freddy
