Getting Started with Groovy, Grails, and MySQL

Groovy is a dynamic language that dramatically speeds up Java development. Grails is a Java- and Groovy-based web framework that brings modern practices like scaffolding and convention over configuration to the Java platform.

Join Scott Davis (two-time JavaOne RockStar award winner and author of "Groovy Recipes: Greasing the Wheels of Java" and co-author of "Getting Started with Grails") as he shows you the newest ways to take advantage of MySQL with the recently released versions of Groovy 1.7 and Grails 1.2.

If you've written raw JDBC, you know the pain of keeping track of the separate Statements, Connections, and ResultSets, and closing them down in the right order. With a groovy.sql.Sql object, you gain a number ways to significantly simplify the process, and the new Groovy 1.7 adds withBatch and withTransaction. You'll see live coding demos of the following:

• Sql.eachRow()
• Sql.firstRow()
• Sql.execute()
• Sql.executeUpdate()
• Sql.dataset()
• Sql.withTransaction()
• Sql.withBatch()

If you want to "skin" your exiting MySQL database with a web front-end, Grails is the perfect solution. Or, you can let GORM (Grails Object/Relational Mapping API) manage the database for you in your greenfield development. You can define one-to-one, one-to-many, and many-to-many relationships in your Grails domain classes. Grails 1.2 offers new support for named queries, JPA annotations, and finer-grained control of both your data source and cache. You'll see live coding demos of the following:

• Creating a new Grails application
• Mapping a Grails application to an existing database schema
• Creating relationships between domain classes
• Working with GORM methods
