Building a Groovy / CFML Project: Core Concepts and Tools
This document was prepared by Joe Rinehart for Alagad, Inc. Introduction Building a CFML project with a Groovy model is a productive choice. In my experience, Groovy just "feels" better for modeling a domain, and its complimentary tooling (Hibernate, Spring) "just works." It’s a complicated beast, however, and having a guide to setting it up is handy. I’ve spent a good deal of time, both on my own and at Broadchoice, learning both the concepts of JEE Web Applications and the ins and outs of setting up these hybrid projects. This document is intended to walk you through the concepts and tools used in such a setup. Actually setting up the environment is individual to your situation, and something we’ll work on together. A lot of this is still rough around the edges. Eventually, I’d like to document a "template" of two different models of Groovy+Spring+Hibernate+CFML applications. Any attempt to do so now, however, would be obsolete the moment the environment was complete: each time through is a learning experience!
