JSF is too fat, Struts is too heavy, Spring MVC is light, but Java is too verbose. Then there come Groovy language and Grails framework.
Hate Java, love Groovy; wish Struts to die quickly, hope long live Spring MVC.
Grails is actually Spring MVC application in disguise.

In my last post, I showed a solution how to autofocus, Escape key capture and page redirection in jQuery. So there is a quest how to automatically test it?
In the following codes snippet of the functional test in Groovy, a rapid script language of its uncle Java, showing how to achieve this in a simple straight-forward way. The codes is based on Selenium library.
package somewhere.in.the.rainbow
import static org.junit.Assert.assertThat
import static org.junit.Assume.assumeTrue as assume
import static org.hamcrest.CoreMatchers.*
import org.junit.Test
import org.junit.Ignore
import org.openqa.selenium.Keys
import org.openqa.selenium.By
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement

import somewhere.in.the.rainbow.pages.LoginPage
import somewhere.in.the.rainbow.pages.OtherServicesPage

Wien says that the eurozone can be divided into those countries that run a trade surplus (such as France, Germany, the Netherlands, Finland and Luxembourg), and the deficit countries of Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy.
But he points out that the deficits of Spain and Italy are relatively modest. “Spain and Italy have viable economies and they’re able to export products that people want to buy. So I think that Spain and Italy are salvageable. I’m not sure that that’s the case for Greece and Portugal.”
Wien says he agrees with comments made by Greece’s former prime minister, Lucas Papademos, that a Greek exit from the eurozone would be “catastrophic” for the country. The country, he says, will get little benefit from returning to a devalued drachma. "What are they going to compete on? Olive oil and tourism?”
