Speaking of which, I've played around with WOGroovy and I was pretty
impressed with it. After a somewhat rocky start, Groovy has become

framework I
would be worried about adopting it and then hitting a wall
halfway through a
project because of some hard to track down bug, but given it's
simplicity, I
think it would be fairly straightforward to track down and fix
any bugs that
might've been overlooked by the developer. All in all, it seems
like an
excellent and very useful framework.
That developer would be me. If you have any issues feel free to
let me know. ;)
Good to know. I hadn't heard of WOGroovy until this morning and had
recently been looking at incorporating Groovy for the purposes of
rapid turnaround.
The original version of WOGroovy was written by Suzuki Tetsuya, and
lives here http://wogroovy.sourceforge.jp but hasn't been updated in
a long time.
I basically rewrote it reusing most of the original metaclass helper
code, removed the xcode requirement, and added rapid turnaround using
the groovy class loader. My version is available online here: http://
code.google.com/p/wogroovy
You will need to check it out of the repository.
As you have observed WOGroovy is a very small veneer to make using
groovy with WebObjects seamless. Outside the rapid turnaround
code, which is just some classloader magic, the WOGroovy framework
itself doesn't actually do much but inject some helper categories
into the metaclass registry. The fixes for the NS* collection
handling are the only really important bits, and they don't need
to be "loaded", they just need to be in the classpath somewhere.
Do you have any example projects (intermixing standard java and
groovy)?
Not really, in the source tree there is a small example app I started
as a test case to exercise some of the collection handling, and
demonstrate some of the implicit functions added by the WOGroovy
categories. But I haven't done anything with it for a little while.
