OVERVIEW:

This is the code base for the Java User Group application presented on February 1, 2011.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Java: 1.6 or above
• Grails 1.3.7

SETUP:

The project consists of 2 applications and one plugin.

• moviestore - Grails application which represents the UI
• movie-rest - Grails application which exposes a REST API
• movie-domain - Grails plugin which consists of the domain model

BEFORE RUNNING:

Before running either moviestore or movie-rest, you must do the following:

1. CD into the movie-domain directory
2. Run the command, grails package-plugin
3. CD into moviestore application
4. Run the command, grails install-plugin ../movie-domain/grails-movie-domain-0.1.zip
5. CD into movie-rest
6. Run the command, grails install-plugin ../movie-domain/grails-movie-domain-0.1.zip

RUNNING APPLICATIONS LOCALLY:

The moviestore and movie-rest applications are setup to work on one machine by default. In order to run both applications do the following:

1. CD into moviestore directory
2. Run the command, grails run-app
3. Open new terminal
4. CD into movie-rest directory
5. Run the command, grails -Dserver.port=8081 run-app

RUNNING MOVIE-REST APPLICATION ON SEPARATE MACHINE:

Since the application was designed to run on a single machine, you will need to change one setting first.

1. Open moviestore application in your favorite editory.
2. Modify the line static restEndpoint = "http://localhost:8081/movie-rest/" to the ip address and port you have the movie-rest application on

Note: Typically, endpoints are stored in Config.groovy or other config file. We have the endpoint configured in class for demo purposes.
