Mark,
I was reading Getting Started With Grails this weekend and the more I
look at Grails, the more I see your Groovy Works effort fitting into a
Grails mini-porting effort to Struts 2. Much of what you describe is
already in Grails and I think the last thing we need is yet another
groovy web framework. :)
Just to expand upon this, I think there are 3 main pieces we would need
to make this work:
1. A new plugin based on Don's rest plugin that maps incoming request to
grails controllers.
2. A grails controller engine that can take the grails request, provide
the necessary context and execute a grails controller.
3. A GSPResult that can create the context for the GSP page and execute
the GSP page.
I did some work on this over the weekend and it didn't take too much
effort to get a GSPResult going. (Although the templated executed, it
didn't display any data because I didn't have a ModelAndView for the
template to run against)

They are very similar. The difference used to be that s2ss did not require
Spring, or didn't support it. I don't exactly recall. Groovy Works requires
and uses Spring to wire the dependencies of the objects it manufactures.
Additionally I think the directions were different. It was my plan, if I had
more time, to really build on the Groovy Works thing and make it more like a
Groovy version of Struts 2 with an integrated stack. I really haven't had
time to pursue that goal. The idea was download GW's and its maven template.
Run the template and code without need for XML, with a well defined project
structure, ORM in place, etc. Obviously I haven't gotten that far, and other
things have come along in S2 that do some of those things, like SmartURLs,
code behing, zero config, etc.
