Grails and SmartClient? (not SmartGwt)

[jeffpogo]

Hello,

Does anyone know how to configure Grails 2.1.0 to work with SmartClient?

If SmartClient does not work easily with Grails, does anyone have recommendations for another RIA that will work.

I am currently using jquery, but I would like a more complete widget set.

Thank you,

Jeff.

There are various ways of integrating the SmartClient Java server with Grails, but the option that is nearest to your existing JQuery setup is just to use RestDataSource and write a Grails servlet that returns appropriate responses. Start with the QuickStart Guide's Data Integration chapter and follow docs through from there.

Only using your javascript -- *.js files is easy.

I would like to use your tags too.

I need some help getting your tag library configured on grails.

I would like to fully use Smartclient -- not just pieces.

Especially if I am going to purchase it!

Since Smartclient works with .jsp ... it should work in grails too.

The tag library does very little. If you want to go further than the .js files, the thing to focus on is server-side integration, which means writing a custom DataSource (see QuickStart Guide) to call Grails ORM classes, or just using SQLDataSource without Grails - it has a lot of the same power, and allows Groovy code to be embedded (see Server Scripting in the *8.3* QuickStart Guide).
