I'm digging into grails right now. Maybe i should clarify what's important for me at the moment: Rails gives me a very convenient way to start an application with a minimum configuration needed, thus giving me focus on developing the app. If it was just for me, it's ok to dive deeply into configuring spring and all other j2ee thingies. But for my colleagues it's another thing. They just start to develop web applications. They need to learn a bunch of new things and there's a tendency to get lost in the j2ee configuration hell... (Hibernate isn't a problem in this context as we use it in several c/s applications). Many, many RoR functionalities are - at least for me - easier and more convenient to use. But i think you're doing a great job bringing that stuff to J2EE. Last but not least, i finally have a reason to get them at my department into groov(y)... I think you'll agree with my that groovy is a great add-on to java :) Have a nice day, Michael. Hi Graeme,
wow, that’s a fast replay from a developer…

I’m digging into grails right now.

Maybe i should clarify what’s important for me at the moment:

Have a nice day,

So the statement that Grails has a fraction of what Rails has to offer is imo false.
