Simplify Enterprise Development With Scripting
This session was all over the map in terms of scripting in an enterprise environment. At first it started as another Groovy session, then it turned into a general JSR 223 which intends to bring scripting to the Java platform in the next major release. What I got most from this session was some additional feature in Groovy such a GStrings. GStrings are Groovy strings that allows you to embed a variable in a string to insert its value. Groovy also provides a poor mans ORM in the form of a DataSet. I also like that fact that you can declare properties in Groovy with an @property annotation, you don’t have to define setter and getter methods.
