Plugin for Cross-Domain Ajax Proxy

[Sean Gilligan-2]

Is there an existing solution for adding a proxy service to a Grails
app?  I want to be able to do cross-domain Ajax requests and need a
proxy service to do it.  I'm thinking about wrapping an existing
ProxyServlet in a Grails plugin.  Is there a better approach?

My spidey sense is going off. If you don't do authentication on this, you can become a proxy for all of China.

I dont know of existing solution. Pick up groovyx for the HTTP calls.

Have you tried using jsonp?

Look at jquery and jsonp for cross domain ajax.

It does not do everything, but it does do some things.

The proxy would be configured to only talk to a single server.

I'm looking at this Java and HttpClient based solution:

The server I'm talking to will be sending XML, so I don't think that
jsonp is an option.

The Proxy Servlet seems to be working pretty well (so far).

Over 2 years later I used the Proxy Plugin in another project.  I also
found time to push it to GitHub:
https://github.com/msgilligan/grails-proxy-plugin

No time to formally submit it right now, but there it is.

The developer of the ProxyServlet also clarified that it is under Apache
License as is the plugin.

I got a nice pull request from Burt Beckwith with a ton of cleanup in it
-- thanks, Burt!   I have merged it in to the repo.  Burt suggested we
rename the plugin to the Grails Ajax Proxy Plugin.  After accepting his
changes, I renamed the repository accordingly and GitHub doesn't provide
forwarding URLs.

The new URL is https://github.com/msgilligan/grails-ajax-proxy-plugin.
