Groovy is an agile, dynamic programming language that compiles source files directly to java bytecode. Groovy has a syntax similar to Java and includes features found in Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk.

| Installing Groovy |
Install the groovy*.jar and asm*.jar files from the Groovy distribution in the directory $RESIN_HOME/lib/groovy/:
$RESIN_HOME/lib/groovy/groovy-1.0-beta-4.jar $RESIN_HOME/lib/groovy/asm-1.4.1.jar $RESIN_HOME/lib/groovy/asm-attrs-1.4.1.jar $RESIN_HOME/lib/groovy/asm-util-1.4.1.jar |
The Groovy compiler groovyc compiles *.groovy files directly to *.class files. With Resin classloader configuration .groovy files are automatically compiled the same as .java files are:
<web-app-default>
<class-loader>
<compiling-loader path="WEB-INF/classes"
compiler="groovyc"
source-extension=".groovy"/>
</class-loader>
</web-app-default>
|
<web-app>
<class-loader>
<compiling-loader path="WEB-INF/classes"
compiler="groovyc"
source-extension=".groovy"/>
</class-loader>
</web-app>

| A Groovy Servlet |
Since Groovy compiles to Java .class files, application can write servlets using groovy.
package example;
import javax.servlet.GenericServlet;
import javax.servlet.ServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.ServletResponse;
public class MyServlet extends GenericServlet {
public void service(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res)
{
out = res.getWriter();
out.println("Hello, world");
}
}

| Caveat |
At the time of this writing (groovy 1.0 beta-4) groovy has some issues with classloaders. See the Groovy bug report and vote on it to increase the chance that it will be fixed. Simple beans will work, but more complicated things like closures may not work at all times.
