Grails hosting

Grails application is an advanced and novel open source web application platform which delivers new heights of developer productivity. This level of productivity is achieved by the application principles like Convention over the Configuration. Grails hosting helps in the developing responsive methodologies, deliver good quality applications in less amounts of time. It creates high quality and easy to use applications that are a delight for the users. Since it is built on Spring, the Grails hosting application complements the Java application development. It is based on the Groovy language, which is the dynamic language for Java platform.

The Grails application is licensed under the Apache 2.0 Software License. Grails is intended to be a high quality productivity framework by following the "coding by convention" paradigm. Grails was initially known as 'Groovy on Rails'. In the year 2006 this name was replaced by “Grails” in response to a request by David Heinemeier Hansson who was the founder of the Ruby on Rails framework. The Groovy Grails Company was later acquired by SpringSource in November, 2008, and then it was acquired by VMware.

Features of Grails hosting:

• It provides the users a high productivity web framework which is based on the Java platform.
• It offers a reliable framework which helps in reducing confusion and is relatively very easy to learn.
• There are clear and precise documentations for those parts of the framework which are necessary for the users.
• It provides the users what is expected in the areas which are intricate and not consistent.
• It provides a consistent and powerful persistence framework.
• It also provides powerful and easy to use viewer templates using the Groovy Server Pages.
• It provides dynamic tag libraries for the easy creation of web page components.
• It enjoys a good Ajax programming support which is simple to extend and can be customized as per the users choice.
• It provides sample applications for the users which demonstrate the framework in a good way.
• Grails hosting also provides a complete development mode, which includes the web server and the automatic reload of resources.

Grails hosting application was designed in a simple manner which is easy to learn, easy to develop different applications and is extensible. It also makes an attempt to offer the right balance between the powerful features and consistency. The Grails hosting application framework has been designed based on the MVC paradigm. MVC is the acronym for the Model View Controller architecture. The “Model” represents the database code; the “View” represents the page design code while the “Controller” represents the navigational code. The Grails hosting framework is designed in such a way that it helps the developers to develop web applications which utilize the Model View Controller architecture.

Grails hosting applications come with three main properties help in augmenting the productivity as compared to the traditional Java web frameworks. These are as follows:

• There is no XML configuration
• Development environment which is always ready to use
• And the functionality which is available through mixins
