RESTful Services in Grails
Grails 2.3 added greatly enhanced REST capabilities to the framework. Now it is possible to expose RESTful endpoints directly from domain classes, or extend a RestfulController superclass, and customize rendering much more easily than before. Even the HAL specification for hypermedia is now supported. This talk will demonstrate the new RESTful features and show you how to take advantage of them in the future.
Topics will range from using the new annotations, to building RESTful controllers, to customizing response renderers, to working with hypermedia, and more.
