Making Spring Groovy
The Spring framework has always had a friendly relationship with dynamic languages. In this presentation, we'll look at all the ways you can add Groovy to Spring to make development easier, ranging from simplifying your configuration files to deploying refreshable beans to using Spock tests in the Spring test context and more.
Groovy works comfortably with existing Java infrastructure, and Spring has special capabilities designed specifically for scripting languages. The combination is very powerful and is an easy way to take advantage of Groovy code simplification.
