Flex and Grails Made Easy I love how easy it is to start new projects these days. It was very difficult when I started creating AppFuse way back in 2002. We've come a long way baby!
Here's a couple of easy ways to get started with Flex and Grails:
I hope to develop with Flex, Grails, GWT or YUI + Struts 2 in the next 6 months. These seem like the most exciting technologies for Java web development in 2008. Posted in Java at Nov 01 2007, 11:00:38 PM MDT 5 Comments
Draft Specification for automatically mapping URLs to Controllers and Views Ted Husted has been working on a draft specification for "Heuristic Request/Response Mappings", based on technologies used by Rails, Struts 2 and Stripes.
The central idea is that instead of creating explicit mappings, the
framework applies a series of heuristic transformations to match a URI
with a code component and a view component.
The first part of the draft is available here:

Before doing any more work on the description, I'd be very interested
on feedback as to whether I'm making any sense, or whether the draft
has turned into opaque gibberish :)
If you're developing a web framework (in any language) and use conventions to auto-map URLs-to-controllers and controllers-to-views, it'd be great to hear your feedback on this draft. It'd be pretty cool if you could switch frameworks/languages and use the same conventions across the board. Posted in Java at Nov 01 2007, 03:03:49 PM MDT 7 Comments
