The All-in-One Guide to Java Programming

# Testing
Grails supports unit testing with a mixin approach.
Annotations:
* `@TestFor(X)`: Specifies the class under test.
* `@Mock(Y)`: Creates a Mock for the given class.

For tests GORM provides an in-memory mock database that uses a ConcurrentHashMap.
You can create tests for Tag libraries, command objects, URL-Mappings, XML & JSON, etc.

# Cache plugin
* You can add the `@Cacheable` annotation on Service or Controller methods.
* Cache tags: `cache:block` and `cache:render`
* Cache-ehcache, -redis, and -gemfire
* Cache configuration DSL


# Grails wrapper
The Grails wrapper was added in Grails 2.0. You can create the wrapper using the following
command:
```
$ grails wrapper
```
The above produces `grailsw` and `grailsw.bat` (for Nix and Windows, respectively).

The Grails wrapper is helpful when multiple people are working on a project. The wrapper scripts
will actually download and install grails when run. Then you can send these scripts to anyone or
keep them in your repository.

# Cloud
Grails is supported by the following cloud providers:
* Amazon
* Heroku
