Why Grails?


Grails (www.grails.org) is a dynamic web-application framework built  
in Java and Groovy, leveraging best of breed APIs from the Java EE  
sphere including Spring, Hibernate and SiteMesh. Grails brings to Java  
and Groovy developers the joys of convention-based rapid development  
while allowing them to leverage their existing knowledge and  
capitalize on the proven and performant APIs Java developers have been  
using for years.


Grails offers everything you need for rapid prototyping out of the  
box, including a web server (Jetty) and an embedded database (HSQLDB).  
You are, however, just a single command away from deploying your  
Grails app to Tomcat, JBoss, or any other JEE-compliant application  
server.  Grails enables IT teams to establish fast development cycles  
through agile methodologies, to deliver quality applications in  
reduced amounts of time by applying principles like Convention over  
Configuration to simplify the development tasks and focusing on what  
really matters: the business of your users and the ease of use of the  
application you will deliver to them.
