RE: Anyone playing with Groovy or Grails?

We use Groovy (and Beanshell). (We started with beanshell, but, since the endorsement of Groovy by Sun, we have migrated towards Groovy.) For our 'baby' java developers, the scripting simplifies / speeds-up the time-to-deployment for simple reporting or pre-reporting tasks. Our scripts typically run from between 100 and 700 lines (includes blank line and ... comments..., and do some pretty complex tasks, including parsing PDFs and integrating with MS Exchange via jIntegra. Oh, and of course taking the PDF/email info and processing into / out of Informix. Schuyler L.

Got hit with this by a client. The interesting thing is that unlike Python or Ruby, if you have an infrastructure already built upon java, Groovy will be able to integrate in to it. One of the IT Architects thought that it deserves a peak because it would simplify the architecture and limit the number of languages that we have to support.
