在学习任何东西之前，最重要的是培养兴趣，Groovy世界最耀眼的技术之一－－Grails相信大家早已耳闻，我将通过Grails实战系列文章向您展现Grails的迷人风采，使您感受到Grails的魅力，以至疯狂地爱上Grails，并坠入Groovy的爱河。学Groovy，Grails与学Java一样，在实战之前需要搭建开发环境，您可以在
Groovy轻松入门－－搭建Groovy开发环境
学习到如何搭建Groovy环境，之后我会讲一下如何搭建Grails环境，然后手把手地写个Demo程序告终，我还会抽空写篇“Groovy轻松入门－－Grails实战之进阶篇”
一，搭建Grails环境
0，下载Grails( http://dist.codehaus.org/grails/grails-bin-1.0.zip，请留意朝花夕拾——Groovy & Grails中的“最新版本”提示)并解压到自己指定位置（我的位置是D:\D\MY_DEV\grails）
1，设置环境变量GRAILS_HOME（注意大写），过程与“设置环境变量GROOVY_HOME”相似
2，将%GRAILS_HOME%\bin添加到环境变量path中，过程与“将GROOVY_HOME目录下的bin追加到环境变量path中”相似
（如果只想进行Grails开发，可以不设GROOVY_HOME）
二，创建Grails Demo程序
3，打开“命令行”，选择当前目录（我的为D:\Temp\grails_apps），在黑底白字的窗口中输入“grails create-app demo”，不包括双引号“”，在您的屏幕中可以看到类似下面的输出结果：
D:\_DEV\grails_apps>grails create-app demo

通过“grails create-app”这个命令，Grails自动帮我们创建了开发所需的工程环境。其实您现在就已经拥有了一个可运行的Web应用程序，
然后进入demo目录(“cd demo”)，输入“grails run-app”，回车，启动这个‘五脏俱全’的程序雏形，打开浏览器，输入 http://localhost:8080/demo ，回车，看到了吧 :) 让我们继续吧，请停止这个程序(Ctrl + C)
4，在“命令行”中输入“cd demo”，回车，以进入demo目录，然后再输入“grails create-domain-class User”创建domain class即类似于pojo的pogo，它对应MVC中的Model，不过由Grails自动创建的pogo是空的，需要自己添加属性，约束（constraints）等。输出结果如下所示：
D:\_DEV\grails_apps\demo>grails create-domain-class User

[copy] Copying 1 file to D:\_DEV\grails_apps\demo\test\integration
Created Tests for User
D:\_DEV\grails_apps\demo>
5，进入D:\Temp\grails_apps\demo\grails-app\domain（这个目录中存放着所有的domain class），打开User.groovy，修改为如下内容：
class
User {
String name
String password
String toString() {
"
$name : $password
"
}
static
constraints
=
{
name(blank:
false
)
password(blank:
false
, size:
6
..
16
)
}
}
contraints这个类变量是定义一些约束的，比如name不能为空白，password不能为空白而且长度在6到16之间（包括6和16）
6，在“命令行”中输入“grails generate-all User”，为User产生所有CRUD操作需要的代码（如控制器UserController.groovy）和页面（如list.gsp），输出结果如下所示：D:\_DEV\grails_apps\demo>grails generate-all User

7，修改demo\grails-app\controllers\UserController.groovy的内容为：
class UserController {
def loginService // 新增的代码
def index = { redirect(action:list,params:params) }
// the delete, save and update actions only accept POST requests
def allowedMethods = [delete:'POST', save:'POST', update:'POST']
def list = {
if(!params.max) params.max = 10
[ userList: User.list( params ) ]
}
def show = {
def user = User.get( params.id )
if(!user) {
flash.message = "User not found with id ${params.id}"
redirect(action:list)
}
else { return [ user : user ] }
}
def delete = {
def user = User.get( params.id )
if(user) {
user.delete()
flash.message = "User ${params.id} deleted"
redirect(action:list)
}
else {
flash.message = "User not found with id ${params.id}"
redirect(action:list)
}
}
def edit = {
def user = User.get( params.id )
if(!user) {
flash.message = "User not found with id ${params.id}"
redirect(action:list)
}
else {
return [ user : user ]
}
}
def update = {
def user = User.get( params.id )
if(user) {
user.properties = params
if(!user.hasErrors() && user.save()) {
flash.message = "User ${params.id} updated"
redirect(action:show,id:user.id)
}
else {
render(view:'edit',model:[user:user])
}
}
else {
flash.message = "User not found with id ${params.id}"
redirect(action:edit,id:params.id)
}
}
def create = {
def user = new User()
user.properties = params
return ['user':user]
}
def save = {
def user = new User(params)
if(!user.hasErrors() && user.save()) {
flash.message = "User ${user.id} created"
redirect(action:show,id:user.id)
}
else {
render(view:'create',model:[user:user])
}
}
// 新增的代码
def login = {
if (request.method == 'POST') {
User u = new User()
u.properties = params
if (!u.validate()) {
render(view:'login', model:[user:u])
}
if (params.name && params.password) {
def user = loginService.check(u)
if (user) {
flash.message = "Welcome ${user.name}"
render(view: "ok", model: [user: user])
} else {
flash.error = "Invalid ${u.name} with ${u.password}"
render(view: "login", model: [user: u])
}
} else {
render(view: "login", model: [user: u])
}
}
}
}
大家或许也看到了LoginService这个类，我将在后面演示创建它，这个LoginService类封装了所有登陆相关的业务逻辑，Grails会自动将其注入到UserController中
8，在“命令行”中，输入“grails create-service Login”，创建LoginService.groovy，输出：D:\_DEV\grails_apps\demo>grails create-service Login

D:\_DEV\grails_apps\demo>
9，修改demo\grails-app\services\LoginService.groovy的内容为：class LoginService {
boolean transactional = true
def check(User u) {
def user = User.findWhere(name: u.name, password: u.password)
return user
}
}
10，在demo\grails-app\views\user目录下创建login.gsp和ok.gsp，它们对应MVC中的View，内容分别为：
login.gsp （复制demo\grails-app\views\user\create.gsp的内容到login.gsp中，并修改）:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
<meta name="layout" content="main" />
<!-- 将Create User修改为Login -->
<title>Login</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="nav">
<span class="menuButton"><a class="home" href="${createLinkTo(dir:'')}">Home</a></span>
<span class="menuButton"><g:link class="list" action="list">User List</g:link></span>
</div>
<div class="body">
<!-- 将Create User修改为Login -->
<h1>Login</h1>
<!-- 将flash.message修改为flash.error -->
<g:if test="${flash.error}">
<!-- 将class="message"修改为class="errors", 将flash.message修改为flash.error -->
<div class="errors">${flash.error}</div>
</g:if>
<g:hasErrors bean="${user}">
<div class="errors">
<g:renderErrors bean="${user}" as="list" />
</div>
</g:hasErrors>
<!-- 将action="save"修改为action="login" -->
<g:form action="login" method="post" >
<div class="dialog">
<table>
<tbody>
<tr class="prop">
<td valign="top" class="name">
<label for="name">Name:</label>
</td>
<td valign="top" class="value ${hasErrors(bean:user,field:'name','errors')}">
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" value="${fieldValue(bean:user,field:'name')}"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="prop">
<td valign="top" class="name">
<label for="password">Password:</label>
</td>
<td valign="top" class="value ${hasErrors(bean:user,field:'password','errors')}">
<input type="text" maxlength="16" id="password" name="password" value="${fieldValue(bean:user,field:'password')}"/>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<div class="buttons">
<!-- 将value="Create"修改为value="Login" -->
<span class="button"><input class="save" type="submit" value="Login" /></span>
</div>
</g:form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
ok.gsp:
<g:if test="${flash.message}">
<div class="message">${flash.message}</div>
</g:if>
Name: ${user?.name} <br>
Password: ${user?.password}
11，修改demo\grails-app\conf\BootStrap.groovy，初始化数据库：将一个User实例保存到数据库(grails自带hsqldb和jetty)中，内容如下：
class BootStrap {
def init = { servletContext ->
new User(name: "demo", password: "123456").save()
}
def destroy = {
}
}
12，在“命令行”中，输入“grails run-app”，运行我们的Web应用，输出如下：
D:\_DEV\grails_apps\demo>grails run-app
