"This plugin provides a taglib for displaying avatars. At the moment we only support gravatars (globally-recognized avatars)." - Dmitriy Kopylenko from Bookmarklet

Actually plugin's source code lives here now: http://github.com/domix... - Dmitriy Kopylenko

"Well... it had to happen. After a week of people signing up twitter feeds and feedburner feeds from groovyblogs itself, I took some good advice from James, and implemented feed moderation." - Dmitriy Kopylenko from Bookmarklet

"I've noticed there isn't that much information about how to setup connection pooling with grails on the mailing lists so I figured I'd put up a quick post about it. In this example I want to create c3p0 connection pools for all profiles that use postgreSQL." - Dmitriy Kopylenko from Bookmarklet

"With the default Grails scaffolding each time you navigate away from the list page (e.g. going to the show page) the state of the list is lost when you return. This can be annoying when you paged to a certain page within the list. It's easy to make your application remember the state of your list pages." - Dmitriy Kopylenko from Bookmarklet

Ok. I had my JMS platform, now it was just a matter of getting the data into and out of those queues. Enter the JMS Plugin. This plugin rocks so hard! Define a service that has an expose = ['jms'] and life will be good for you. To listen on the queue, just define an onMessage closure. All the messages I pass around are normal java.util.Map objects, which makes it easy to ship a bunch of payload at once. Once that's done, anything that ends up on the thumbnailResponse queue will get automatically passed to my onMessage routine. Awesome! But what about putting the thumbnail request on the queue? It's a snack - berkay

"Here are some lessons learned concerning lazy vs eager fetching and how to delete a child object in a One-to-many relationship (unfortunately it's not super obvious)." - Dmitriy Kopylenko from Bookmarklet

Good stuff. The implementation could be groovier, though i.e. use GStrings instead of String concatentations, etc. - Dmitriy Kopylenko

There are some Groovy/Grails guys in the area, I'm sure something could be put up. Also, early October, there will be the Groovy / Grails eXchange conference in San Jose. - Guillaume Laforge

@Anne: here it is http://java.meetup.com/161/ - James Williams

I loved the article because it's very informative, but isn't the general idea in scala to avoid nulls propagating within a program by using Option? I guess this approach could be useful for handling uncertain inputs from java libaries. - Robin Barooah

Another great article in the "Mastering Grails" series - Dmitriy Kopylenko

WhooHoo! Glen Smith is writing the "Grails in Action" book! Good news! - Dmitriy Kopylenko

excellent description of how to use regular expressions in groovy from Ted Naleid - berkay

yup, good descritpions and examples on Groovy's regexp support - Andres Almiray
