25 Grails Plugins tutorials. Vote for your favorites!
Hey,
I’m shocked. I’ve posted the other entry about 10 grails plugins that I recommend and posted one link at the Grails.org site (link here) and by blog jumped over 6000% on visitors. That is awesome and motivated me to write about plugins. Not only the 10 I wrote, but some others that people commented and others I found at the Grails Wiki Plugins Page.
So, I created a poll in the blog (in the right column) and I’ll write for every plugins listed there. Please, vote on the 10 (or less) plugins you want me to write and I’ll write first on the most voted. I think will take some time to write for all plugins, but I’ll do this nicely, I promisse!
For each plugin I write, I’ll talk a little about how it works, make some examples (I’ll try some screencasts) and upload to the blog files the example applications.
Thanks for coming, I’ll write mainly in english from now on, but as I said before, comments in any language are welcome.

hi, I would like you to write Jsecurity plugins
especially how to set the permission using database (not in the config)
Hi lucastex,
it’s a good idea and will help people get in situation as soon as possible. thanks for the effort.
ps. there is a typo in your grails wiki plugins link.
Hi Lucas,
Nice initiative! Wrote one on the XFire plugin on http://tedvinke.wordpress.com/2009/03/10/grails-webservices-xfire but to achieve a wider audience English is certainly recommended!
Hi,
It will be great if you can put Functional Test plugin (http://www.grails.org/Grails%20Functional%20Testing) in the list.
Thanks
@adwin
Hello adwin, I myself like the Acegi Plugin, that can stores the permission in the database, and as the poll is going, probably it will be the first one I’ll write. Maybe in its tutorial I can talk a little bit about JSecurity and some comparisons.
Thank you!
@ressol
Hello again Ressol, thanks for the warning, just checked the link!
@Ted
Wow, there is a AWESOME tutorial!
Why don’t you translate to english?
Thank you for visiting!
@Jet
Hello Jet! I’ll take a look on it!
Thank you!
[...] bjoernkw @ 2:31 pm Lucas Teixeira, Java specialist at Oracle and fellow Grails developer has published a poll about which Grails plugins he should write on his blog: [...]
Would you consider a Style Chart plug-in(available at chart.inetsoft.com)? This allows sophisticated visualization through advanced charts.
@steve
I’ve selected one plugin of each ‘category’. This time most people requested the Google Chart, so when get its time, I can talk a little about the Style Chart one.
Thanks!
JSecurity +1.
I have a requirement that each user can have different roles in different projects. So for example, they may have the Project Manager role in one project, while only having an Observer role in another. Please help model it.
Thanks a lot!
Oi !
Our site uses dojo and php. I would like to port it to dojo + grails. I know there is a dojo plugin somewhere but I think it’s not being maintained to current dojo versions… if it is, I would appreciate a nice tutorial on this…
Obrigado pela ajuda !
JSecurity +1
Also database based roles.
This seems a very bussy and high aimed project to me. I wish you great success and all the best!
@hubert @achim
Hello! I’ll talk about database roles and role-mappings using Acegi. Maybe during Acegi’s tutorial I can talk about JSecurtity, but I won’t promisse. Short time!
@Filipe
I myselft do not know the Dojo Plugin, I couldn’t even found it in the Oficial Grails Plugins Page. Do you have the correct address to give me?
Thanks!
[...] the plugins poll. Add (No Ratings Yet) Loading … I’ll let the poll open till monday or tuesday since I’ll travel on this [...]
i vote for autobase- and navigation-plugin.
Holy cr*p: I thought, let’s vote for my own plugin, the SyntaxHighlighter, so that it at least gets some votes, but it’s aleady at 39 votes!
It seems I don’t have a choice now, and update it to a newer version, since the SynaxHighlighter has been upgraded to 2.0. That gives me something to do for the day!
@Erik
Hey! Congrats for the plugin. How about upgrate till its tutorial time?
Thanks!
Or do it the other way around? I make a new release, you do the tutorial?
Erik
@Erik,
I think I have a lot of work till I get to SyntaxHighlighter time!
If you can help me, I’ll be happy
I’d like to see Open Flash Chart Example.
Yes please. This is a great gig!
I would esp love to see things on Ajax, Many-To-Many GORM, Acegi Security Plugin, Searchable!
would be great if searchable plugin figures someplace in your list!
@Yeong
Of course! Everything I can will be written. One thing a time!
