Grails without a Browser by Jeff Brown

Everyone knows that Grails provides a fantastic MVC framework for building web applications. What many developers do not realize is that Grails provides a truly powerful and flexible application platform that may be used to build applications that do not have a browser front end at all.

In this session we will discuss Grails as an application platform. The lecture and demonstrations will focus on using Grails to build the service layer of a layered application architecture. The Grails service layer may be accessed from a wide array of technologies including Swing applications, .NET applications, other Grails applications and much more. Building a service layer for The Java Platform has never been easier.
