I'll take exception to this comment. I think calling what grails as a framework provide you as "special crap", is at best, a disservice to grails as well as other web framework. At the end of the day, people want to deliver a solution for a problem they are working on. Not focusing on "oh look, shiny technology and abstractions" There is value in being able to define a domain object, and right off the bat have ORM taken care of for you, tables created, controllers setup with CRUD/webservice/scafold. and then grails war to produce a complete single war file to deploy to any java application server. Not everyone "needs" it, but that doesn't make it crap. --- Omnem crede diem tibi diluxisse supremum. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
