In
a frank post, the architects of Twitter conceded that Twitter should have been built around a messaging architecture. Citing scalability as their main concern, the Java platform with its advanced and mature support for messaging, through the Java Messaging Service (JMS), could have been a perfect solution to this problem.
In this session Graeme Rocher, the project lead of Grails, will demonstrate how the basics of Twitter could have been built using Grails and JMS in a mere 40 minutes. A fast paced and code-driven presentation, Graeme will build a Twitter-like application from scratch using Grails and its rapid application development capability.
By bringing together Spring, JMS and Java persistence techniques Graeme will also provide advanced tips and techniques for constructing Grails applications that can be deployed on to the Java EE platform.
