Morph Labs on Grails (December 2008)
Inspired by Rails, Grails, a clean and powerful Web development framework, is designed to be a high-productivity framework by following the “coding by convention” paradigm. If building an application using Grails is fast, deployment and delivery shouldn’t be any different.
By combining people, process automation, and technology, Morph Labs can provide Grails developers with a complete and managed hosting environment for their applications. Morph AppSpace, a hosting environment for single applications, and Morph AppCloud, a cloud hosting platform for multiple applications, empower Web developers and businesses to deliver their applications on an on-demand and enterprise-quality environment at a fraction of the cost of building one.

In this article we introduce and discuss a tool, a profiling security manager, that programmatically produces a starting point in crafting an effective security policy. This draft policy describes to what resources the application wants access and in what capacity (e.g., read, write). Learn how.
Grails for Pros
“If you’re like me, you stand in pure awe of the innovation and power illustrated by Rails, but know that your organization just isn’t going to stray from the safety of Java. So if we can achieve similar productivity with a more Java-centric solution, what’s not to like?”—Jason Rudolph (http://jasonrudolph.com)
