hello,
i searched alot with google but cannot find a sollution for my question. i want to install a grails application on a local machine where no grails is installed and no webserver is running. Is it possible to run a grails application with java -jar myapp.war? my hope is to use an embedded jetty servlet container or something like that. thanks in advance for your help, Georg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email |

maybe with winstone http://winstone.sourceforge.net/

Hi Georg,
Short answer is "no". You need a web application server of some sort to run a Grails app. If Grails is installed, then all the overhead of an embedded jetty or tomcat server is set up for you, but you're still running the Grails app in a JEE container. You could look at embedding Tomcat (or Jetty) in some sort of wrapper app, I suppose - might be something out there already that does what you need, I don't know because I haven't needed to look. If you're using GORM, then you'll also need to embed some sort of database (and consider where will you persist it too, as well?) Again, grails run-app will do this for you transparently, if you run with the default datasources setup. SammyRulez: I don't think Winstone would do it - Grails needs some of the JEE "bloat", such as JNDI, in order to connect to a datasource.

Re: grails standalone

Well...
1. grails prod run-app will do just what you need 2. You should never ever do that in production but for deployment of internal apps for like 2-3 people it will work just fine and will use embedded tomcat (much like winstone)
3. Grails doesn't need _any_ of the JEE special stuff you've mentioned. At least it doesn't need to and it doesn't do so by default. HTH.

Short answer is "yes". See http://grails.org/plugin/standalone and http://grails.org/plugin/jetty-standalone
I think you'll have better luck with the one based on Jetty - the one I wrote can conflict with the Tomcat plugin you have in the main app. Burt On Thursday, February 09, 2012 03:23:06 PM Dave Crane wrote: > Hi Georg, > > Short answer is "no". > > You need a web application server of some sort to run a Grails app. If > Grails is installed, then all the overhead of an embedded jetty or > tomcat server is set up for you, but you're still running the Grails > app in a JEE container.

Re: grails standalone

I understand that one should not use "grails prod run-app" for a
production applications but I'm confused about the whether performance characteristics differ significantly between that strategy and the use of these plugins. In other words, are the plugins listed below suitable for production applications? Can someone please explain what it is about "grails prod run-app" that makes it unsuitable for production applications and different than the use of the plugins below?

Re: grails standalone

At least you should use "grails prod run-war" instead of "grails prod run-app".
run-war will not enable automatic reloading like run-app, and thus performs better.

Thanks Ronny. Let me re-phrase my question then: should "grails prod
run-war" be avoided in production applications? Are there significant performance differences in this and using the standalone or jetty-standalone plugins? --john On 02/09/2012 09:47 AM, Ronny Løvtangen wrote: > At least you should use "grails prod run-war" instead of "grails prod run-app". > run-war will not enable automatic reloading like run-app, and thus performs better. > > Ronny > > On Feb 9, 2012, at 5:39 PM, John Cartwright wrote: > >> I understand that one should not use "grails prod run-app" for a >> production applications but I'm confused about the whether performance >> characteristics differ significantly between that strategy and the use >> of these plugins.

In reply to this post by rlovtangen
As I wrote if there are going to be like 2-3 users of the application it doesn't make much difference if it's run-app or run-war. For a number of concurrent users I'd strongly advice against bundling the application in anything else than a standard war and proper deployment to a proper servlet container. After all unzipping Tomcat and putting the war file where it belongs isn't all that hard, is it?

You could use "grails prod run-war" but it isn't ideal but it runs two
JVMs, one for the command line and a forked JVM for the Tomcat server. This is a bit of a waste of server resources It is better to use the standalone plugins since they only require a single JVM Cheers On Thu, Feb 9, 2012 at 5:53 PM, John Cartwright <[hidden email]> wrote: > Thanks Ronny.

Very nice. I stand corrected.
Out of interest, what's the recommended way for dealing with database config on the deployed machine? The jetty-standalone plugin docs simply say: "This also means you need to provide a database configuration for the standalone environment!" but presumably you're either restricted to an in-memory database (i.e. no real persistence, demo-ware only), or a known network database if you're just handing it out round the office/local network?

Not necessarily, you could use a relative path to an hsqldb/h2 database the same as the default environments use, which would cause the database file to appear in whatever directory you were in when you did java -jar ...

See http://grails.org/plugin/standalone and http://grails.org/plugin/jetty-standalone I think you'll have better luck with the one based on Jetty - the one I wrote can conflict with the Tomcat plugin you have in the main app. Burt On Thursday, February 09, 2012 03:23:06 PM Dave Crane wrote: > Hi Georg, > > Short answer is "no". > > You need a web application server of some sort to run a Grails app. If > Grails is installed, then all the overhead of an embedded jetty or > tomcat server is set up for you, but you're still running the Grails > app in a JEE container.

For an internal service we have been using "grails prod run-app" that is only hit by another single internal program. Based on previous postings, I'll switch over to "grails prod run-war" the next time it needs to be re-started.
This is a Grails 1.3.7 app that works with a MySql database, and has been running just fine for over two months (restarted once for a linux system upgrade). Every 5 minutes during that period another program has been sending light duty queries. This service provides the internal interface to our tape library. We've secured the service controller action to only respond to requests from a known IP address, the partner machine, so I know traffic is restricted to essentially one "user".
This is a special configuration and deployment of a program we deployed as a tomcat war file on a separate system for interactive usage by many people. Although it doesn't need to be a Grails app for the internal service, it's nice to have the same admin interface on this back-end service that is usually used on the interactive deployment. It also provides a backup interface to the database should the war file deployment be unavailable.

Ken,
I've successfully used a gradle script (https://github.com/xlson/standalone-war/) which packages jetty into an executable jar as well as Burt Beckwith's Standalone App Runner plugin (http://grails.org/plugin/standalone). I didn't experience any Tomcat conflicts w/ the latter. --john On 02/10/2012 09:25 AM, Ken Tanaka wrote: For an internal service we have been using "grails prod run-app" that is only hit by another single internal program.

Thanks for the suggestion John. I can see that will be nicer for production once I'm sure we're done with development.

I am curios on the perceived need I am seeing here. What prevents you from installing a tomcat or jetty service. If you can run 'grails prod run-app' then what prevents you from running startup.bat/startup.sh from the command line if the service is not an option?
I can see scenarios where standalone makes sense but based on what I am reading I don't get why anyone would want to set things up the way you guys are in your environments. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, please visit: http://xircles.codehaus.org/manage_email |
