Using GORM outside of GRAILS

[Gordon Ross]

I'd like to use GORM outside of GRAILS. A search leads to a couple of URLs:

http://www.grails.org/GORM+-+StandAlone+Gorm
http://www.integrallis.com/blog/2009/09/08/using-gorm-to-boost-legacy-spring-applications

Neither look to have been updated in a while (They appear to reference grails 1.1)

Are they still applicable to grails 1.3 GORM ? Is there anywhere else I should be looking at ?

Thanks,

GTG

I'm having success with grails 1.3.2. I did use that second link to help me get started, though I found out that the <gorm:sessionFactory> element is supposed to be camel-case, not all lower case like in the blog entry. I also had some issues getting the schema recognized on startup. I ended up dropping the gorm.xsd file (copied from the grails-gorm jar) into the same folder as my application context file. Here's the beans element with schema info that worked, along with my <gorm:sessionFactory> element. Hopefully, it'll save you some trouble.

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"

<gorm:sessionFactory base-package="com.aranya.kaya.beans"

        <util:map>

            <entry key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update"/>

        </util:map>

    </property>

</gorm:sessionFactory>

I had been using this approach successfully with grails 1.2.2 for 6 months.

I've upgraded to grails 1.3.4 and now I get a NullPointerException at line 380 in GrailsDomainConfigurationUtil.java at startup:

This seems to be JIRAed at http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRAILS-6670

Any ideas?

For some reason Grails seems to be decoding &nbsp; into  

 

Some example code;

            String test = "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;testing"

            log.debug("######################## decoding '${test}' = '${test.decodeHTML()}'")

,produces;

######################## decoding '&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; testing' = '          testing'

 

Is this a bug, or some project/config issue?
