Session Title:	Grails Integration Strategies
Session Abstract:	It's amazing how quickly you can build Web applications with Grails in a greenfield environment, but most of us do not have that luxury. We have existing infrastructure and applications that we have to maintain and extend. We have legacy databases (or legacy database administrators) to deal with. Does this mean that we cannot benefit from the magic of Grails? No way! The ease of use and productivity of Grails are matched by its power and flexibility. This session discusses some of the ways Grails can be integrated with legacy databases, Enterprise JavaBeans™ (EJB™) technology-based servers, and even JavaServer™ Faces applications. Web developers in Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE platform) shops will be kicking themselves if they miss this presentation. Among the strategies the session covers: • Calling EJB session beans from a Grails application • Using Grails' object-relational mapping to access legacy databases • Accessing Java Naming and Directory Interface™ API resources from Grails • Using Ajax to call Grails services from the JavaServer Faces platform
