So, I'm game. I'm very pressed for time, but I'm definitely interested in this. I think a bridge from Java based Struts 2 development into Groovy is really exciting. We have realized some serious productivity gains using Groovy with Struts 2 in the simple way we've been using it in house for some time now. > Just to expand upon this, I think there are 3 main pieces we would need > to make this work: > 1.

I would assume that this plugin would still route the request through the usual Xwork infrastructure and interceptors, right? What about also mapping to S2 controllers written in Java? I would want that to be available too. It would provide a migration path to users who want to use Grails type stuff, and keep their current investment in S2. I'd love to be able to drop my existing S2 app down into Grails and just keep growing it. > 2.

It might make some sense to look at that.
