Hi,

wanted the wisdom of the group to help me out.

My current project is essentially a platform providing web services to
a number of clients.

We've developed the web services by using Grails as it was considered
a very quick way to get things going.

Grails has been a positive experience from a development point of view
but there are a number of disadvantages which are now prompting a
rethink:

Grails' sweet spot is creating a web application (rather than web
services) to do CRUD.

Our platform is not about typical CRUD. We do not have a html
front-end for example. Or a relational db. We use Mongodb.

We are also concerned about the runtime performance of Grails as well
as how long it takes to startup in Jetty.

So can anyone suggest an alternative? Performance and load are
important. Being able to expose web services easily from Java is also
important.

I was thinking using Tomcat + Spring, mainly because its a stack I
know and Tomcat can handle a huge load and I can pick and choose the
bits of Spring I need. I would consider something lighter weight but I
really don't want to muck around with web.xml files and the usual
standard java web app crap (which Grails does a fantastic job of
abstracting away).

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Rakesh
