Improved Grails Sample app

[graemer]

Hi all,

There is now a better Grails sample app available in the
"samples\simple-cms" directory. You guessed it, its a CMS and it
demonstrates most of Grails' features in action (GORM, validation,
scaffolding, ajax, dynamic tags etc.).

Please read the README.txt for instructions on how to use it

Cheers
Graeme

A full URL would be helpful for those of us just joining the party  :-)

I tried to run it, but am getting class not found exceptions.  do we need the .2 snapshot?

I had the same issue, and yes had to grab the latest snapshop from CVS
and build it. Make sure you're doing "grails init" before trying to run
it as well.

Probably the 'easiest' way is just to head over to the web-based cvs at
http://cvs.grails.codehaus.org/viewrep/grails/grails, browse to the
indicated directory and click on your desired archive type in the
lower-left corner of the window.

that did it.  thanks much.  Graeme, great sample app.  I am going to pick it apart and see what I can learn.  thanks again.

I am wading through the new app and I have a couple of questions.

In BaseController.groovy the auth() method contains the following...

if(!session.site) {
   def s = Site.findByDomain(request.serverName)
   if(!s) Site.findByName(Site.DEFAULT)
   session.site = s
}


Is that call to findByName doing anything meaningful?  Is there some
groovy magic that assigns the result of that call to s?

In that same class what is the purpose of the testSysAdmin(),
testEditor() and testApprover() methods?

Thanks.

Basically the CMS will attempt to lookup a site by domain name (if DNS
is configured correctly it will find the right site) otherwise it will
lookup the default site by name. These are dynamic methods querying
the db based on the property names of the Site class

For my testing purposes, just to check that the different system roles
behave as expected as assigned a different before interceptor to these
methods

I understand that Site.findByName(Site.DEFAULT) is a dynamic method for
looking up a site.  The part I don't understand is it doesn't look like
the return value from Site.findByName(Site.DEFAULT) is assigned to
anything.  There is no "s = " in front of that.  I am wondering if there
is some groovy-ism that I am not aware of that causes the return value
from that method to be assigned to s.  I might have expected something
like this...

if(!session.site) {
   def s = Site.findByDomain(request.serverName)
   if(!s) {
     s = Site.findByName(Site.DEFAULT)
   }
   session.site = s
}


Thanks for your time.

Ah no groovyism.. just a bug :-)
Good spot!

Hello
I'm doing my first steps with grails and I'm very impressed so far.

Unfortunately I don't manage to checkout the sample (cms). I'm working with tortoiseCVS on Windows and I stick excatly to the manual on http://grails.codehaus.org/CVS.

But that's what I get:


C:\Programs\TortoiseCVS>cvs -d :pserver:[e-mail]:/home
/projects/grails/scm login
Logging in to :pserver:[e-mail]:2401:/home/projects/gra
ils/scm
CVS Password: [I clicked ENTER]
connect to cvs.grails.codehaus.org:2401 failed: Es konnte keine Verbindung herge
stellt werden, da der Zielcomputer die Verbindung verweigerte. [en. no connection, server refused connection]

[Guillaume Laforge-2]

With the server problems on Codehaus, perhaps the CVS connection string might change to:
:pserver:[hidden email]:/services/cvs/grails/

Graeme, how is it going on your side regarding CVS?

btw., I'm aware of the codehaus server problems, but because the webview of the CVS (http://cvs.grails.codehaus.org/viewrep/grails/grails) is running properly, I think it must be something else.

thanks for your help
Ben

No anonymous CVS access is currently not working at the codehaus, you
can download a 0.2 snapshot from the build server which should have
the sample app in it
