Presented by: Stirling Crow and Jason Foutz University of New Mexico June 5th, 2014 Creating a Stand-alone GRAILS Application Getting ready for Banner XE

Presentation Overview 2 Getting Started Demo Walk Through of our code Deployment Challenges Source on GitHub University Policy New Tools for a New Development

Technologies for development Getting Started

MVC Framework 15 Models/Domains = Table Column Specs Views = Display HTML info to users Controllers = Perform logic, info to views

Model/Domain 16

Model/Domain - Spriden 17

Spriden Controller Methods 18 index searchById listStudents

Controller: 19

Important Views: 20 searchById.gsp listStudents.gsp

MVC Overview 21 Controllers perform business logic Logic result is sent to a View Controller’s actions and Views have the same name SpridenController’s searchById uses the searchById view

MVC Overview 22 searchById view

MVC Overview searchById sends us to listStudents in SpridenController

MVC Overview 24 Variables come from the form listStudents’ action executes a query, using those variables The results get sent to the listStudents view Controller methods map view names
