AST Transformation (1/2)
• Groovy 1.6 introduced AST Transformations–AST: Abstract Syntax Tree
• Ability to change what’s being compiled by the Groovy compiler... at compile time–No runtime impact!–Change the semantics of your programs! Even hijack the
Groovy syntax!–Implementing recurring patterns in your code base–Remove boiler-plate code
• Two kinds: global and local–triggered by annotations
11
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
AST Transformations (2/2)
• Transformations introduced in 1.6–@Singleton–@Immutable, @Lazy, @Delegate–@Newify–@Category, @Mixin–@PackageScope–Swing’s @Bindable and @Vetoable–Grape’s own @Grab
12
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
@Immutable
• To properly implement immutable classes–No mutations — state musn’t change–Private final fields–Defensive copying of mutable components–Proper equals() / hashCode() / toString()
for comparisons or as keys in maps
@ImmutableclassCoordinates{Doublelat,lng}defc1=newCoordinates(lat:48.8,lng:2.5)
defc2=newCoordinates(48.8,2.5)assertc1==c2
13
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Grab a grape!
• Simple distribution and sharing of Groovy scripts• Dependencies stored locally
–Can even use your own local repositories
@Grab(group='org.mortbay.jetty',
module='jetty‐embedded',
version='6.1.0')
defstartServer(){defsrv=newServer(8080)
defctx=newContext(srv,"/",SESSIONS)
ctx.resourceBase="."
ctx.addServlet(GroovyServlet,"*.groovy")
srv.start()}

Anotations almost anywhere
• You can put annotations–on imports–on packages–on variable declarations
• Examples with @Grab following...
21
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Grape improvements (1/4)
• @Grab on import
@Grab(group='net.sf.json‐lib',
module='json‐lib',version='2.3',classifier='jdk15')importnet.sf.json.groovy.*
assertnewJsonSlurper().parseText(
newJsonGroovyBuilder().json{
book(title:"GroovyinAction",
author:"DierkKönigetal")
}.toString()).book.title=="GroovyinAction"
22
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Grape improvements (2/4)
• Shorter module / artifact / version parameter–Example of an annotation on a variable declaration
@Grab('net.sf.json‐lib:json‐lib:2.3:jdk15')
defbuilder=newnet.sf.json.groovy.JsonGroovyBuilder()
defbooks=builder.books{book(title:"GroovyinAction",author:"DierkKoenig")
}assertbooks.toString()=='{"books":{"book":{"title":"GroovyinAction",'+
'"author":"DierkKoenig"}}}'
23
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Grape improvements (3/4)
• Groovy 1.7 introduced Grab resolver–For when you need to specify a specific repository
for a given dependency
@GrabResolver(name='restlet.org',root='http://maven.restlet.org')
@Grab('org.restlet:org.restlet:1.1.6')
importorg.restlet.Restlet
24
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Power Asserts (1/2)
• Much better assert statement!–Invented and developed in the Spock framework
• Given this script...
defenergy=7200*10**15+1defmass=80defcelerity=300000000
assertenergy==mass*celerity**2
25
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Power Asserts (2/2)
• You’ll get a more comprehensible output
26
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Easier AST Transformations
• AST Transformations are a very powerful feature
• But are still rather hard to develop–Need to know the AST API closely
• To help with authoring your own transformations, we’ve introduced–the AST Viewer in the Groovy Console–the AST Builder
27

• Ability to customize the truth by implementing a boolean asBoolean() method
classPredicate{booleanvaluebooleanasBoolean(){value}
}
deftruePred=newPredicate(value:true)
deffalsePred=newPredicate(value:false)
asserttruePred&&!falsePred

Groovy 1.8 & beyond
• Still subject to discussion• Always evolving roadmap• Things may change!
43
What’s cooking?
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
What we’re working on
• More runtime performance improvements• Closures
–annotation parameterscomposition, memoization, and trampoline
• Native JSON support–builder and parser
• New AST transformations• Gradle build• Modularizing Groovy• Align with JDK 7 / Java 7 / Project Coin• Enhanced DSL support

Optimizations for int
• Currently, the optimizations cover most of native operations on primitive ints–Be careful, your mileage may vary
• To come next–optimizations for doubles–improving array accesses–then other primitives optimizations–and mixed cases of primitives
49
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Closure annotation parameters
• Groovy 1.5 brought Java 5 annotations
• What if... we could go beyond what Java offered?–In 1.7, we can put annotations on packages, imports and
variable declarations–But annotations are still limited in terms of parameters
they allow
• Here comes closure annotation parameters!–Groovy 1.8 will give us the ability to access annotation
with closure parameters at runtime
50
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
GContracts
• Closures are already allowed in the Groovy 1.7 Antlr grammar–André Steingreß created GContracts,
a «design by contract» module
//aclassinvariant@Invariant({name.size()>0&&age>ageLimit()})
classPerson{Stringname;intage}
//amethodpre‐condition@Requires({message!=null})voidgreet(Stringmessage){...}
//amethodpost‐condition@Ensures({returnResult%2==0})
intevenResult(){...}
51

Closure composition
• Functional flavor!
52
defplus2={it+2}deftimes3={it*3}defcomposed1=plus2<<times3assertcomposed1(3)==11assertcomposed1(4)==plus2(times3(4))
defcomposed2=times3<<plus2assertcomposed2(3)==15assertcomposed2(5)==times3(plus2(5))
//reversecompositionassertcomposed1(3)==(times3>>plus2)(3)
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Closure memoization
• Memoization: remember the outcome of previous (ideally side-effect free) invocations
53
defc={a,b‐>sleep1000;a+b}.memoize()
assertc(1,2)==3//after1000ms
assertc(1,2)==3//returnimmediately
//otherforms://atleast10invocationscached
defcAtLeast={...}.memoizeAtLeast(10)
//atmost10invocationscacheddefcAtMost={...}.memoizeAtMost(10)
//between10and20invocationscached
defcAtLeast={...}.memoizeBetween(10,20)
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Closure trampoline
• No more infamous StackOvervlow errors for deeply recursive algorithms–if you use closure trampolines explicitely
54
deffactfact={intn,BigIntegeraccu‐>
n>1?fact.trampoline(n‐1,n*accu):accu
}.trampoline()
deffactorial={intn‐>fact(n,1G)}

New AST xforms (1/2)
• Many new transformations coming up for removing even more boiler plate code
55
@Log inject a logger in your classes@Field creates a field in your scripts@PackageScope improvements (methods & fields)@Synchronized providing safer synchronization semantics@InheritConstructor ex. when extending Exception@IndexedProperties JavaBeans indexed property support@AutoClone automatic cloning of your beans@AutoExternalizable automatic externalization of your beans

New AST xforms (2/2)
56
@ThreadInterrupt makes a script interruptible@TimedInterrupt interrupt after a period of time@ConditionalInterrupt interrupt with a custom condition
@Canonical adds equals, hashCode, toString, ctor- @EqualsAndHashCode just equals and hashCode- @ToString just toString- @TupleConstructor adds a «tuple» constructor

Improved DSL support
• GEP-3: an extended command expression DSL–Groovy Extension Proposal #3
• Command expressions–basically top-level statements without parens–combine named and non-named arguments in the mix
•for nicer Domain-Specific Languages–(methodName arguments)*
58
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Before GEP-3
• The idea: extend command-expressions, beyond top-level statements, for chained method calls
• Before
send("Hello").to("Graeme")
check(that:margherita).tastes(good)
sell(100.shares).of(MSFT)
take(2.pills).of(chloroquinine).after(6.hours)
wait(10.minutes).and(execute{})
blend(red,green).of(acrylic)

Google App Engine
• Google’s PaaS solution• Run your app on Google’s infrastructure
• Initially just Python supported
• Java supported added too–Sandboxed JVM–Jetty servlet container
• Several JVM-compatible language supported
66
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Key aspects
• You can use most of your usual web frameworks for developping apps on App Engine Java–A WAR file, basically! (an exploded war actually)
– Uploading to the cloud by sending deltas of changes
• No OS image, or software to install– Unlike with Amazon EC2
• All the scaling aspects are handled for you– Database / session replication, load balancing...
• There are quotas, but you need a high traffic application to start being charged–Free to get started
67
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Available services
•Memcache– JCache implementation
– Save on CPU and DB
•URL Fetch– Access remote resources– HttpUrlConnection
•Mail– Support both incoming and
outgoing emails
•Images– Resize, crop, rotate...
•XMPP
– Send / receive Jabber messages (GTalk)
•User– Use Google’s user/
authentication system
– OAuth support
•Cron & Task queues– Schedule tasks at regular
intervals
– Queue units of work
•Blobstore– For storing large content
• And much more...

Limitations
•Not our usual relational database–key / value datastore
•30 seconds request duration limit
• Forbidden to –write on the file system–create threads–use raw sockets–issue system calls–use IO / Swing / etc. directly
•There’s a whitelist of classes allowed
• Number of files and their size are limited

The Datastore
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
The datastore...
•Not your father’s relational database! «NoSQL»
• Distributed key / value store– Based on Google’s «BigTable»
– Schema-less approach
• Supporting– Transactions and partitioning
– Hierarchies through entity groups
• Data access APIs– JPA and JDO
• but adds a big request load time factor
– Direct low-level APIs
74
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
...and its «limitations»
• You’re not using SQL–No joins–No database constraints–No aggregation functions (count, avg...)
• In a query, you can only filter on one column for inequality
• Transactions only available in entity groups
• You can only update an entity once in a transaction

Gaelyk 0.6 released!
78
• Even a 0.6.1...
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
• Gaelyk is a lightweight Groovy toolkit on top of the Google App Engine Java SDK
• Gaelyk builds on Groovy’s servlet support–Groovlets: Groovy scripts instead of raw servlets!–Groovy templates: JSP-like template engine–Both allow for a clean separation of views and logic
• Gaelyk provides several enhancements around the GAE Java SDK to make life easier, thanks to Groovy’s dynamic nature
79
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Why Groovy?
• Groovy is a dynamic language for the JVM–very flexible, malleable, expressive and concise syntax–easy to learn for Java developers
•deriving from the Java 5 grammar
–provides powerful APIs to simplify the life of developers•possibility to dynamically enrich existing APIs
–support for Groovlets and its own template engine

Accessing the datastore
• Direct interaction with the low-level datastore API
Entity entity = new Entity("person") // subscript notation, like when accessing a mapentity['name'] = "Guillaume Laforge" // normal property access notationentity.age = 32
entity.save() // asyncSave()entity.delete() // asyncDelete()
datastore.withTransaction { // do stuff with your entities // within the transaction}
// use the asynchronous datastore servicedatastore.async.put(entity)

Querying to be improved...
import com.google.appengine.api.datastore.*import static com.google.appengine.api.datastore.FetchOptions.Builder.* // query the scripts stored in the datastoredef query = new Query("savedscript") // sort results by descending order of the creation datequery.addSort("dateCreated", Query.SortDirection.DESCENDING) // filters the entities so as to return only scripts by a certain authorquery.addFilter("author", Query.FilterOperator.EQUAL, params.author)

URL Routing system (1/4)
• You can have friendly URL mappings with the URL routing system
–You’ll have to configure the RouteFilter in web.xml
all "/aboutus", redirect: "/blog/2008/10/20/about-us"
all "/blog/@year/@month/@day/@title", forward: "/blog.groovy?year=@year&month=@month@day=@day@title=@title"
get "/blog/@year/@month/@day", forward: "/blog.groovy?year=@year&month=@month@day=@day"
get "/book/isbn/@isbn", forward: "/book.groovy?isbn=@isbn", validate: { isbn ==~ /\d{9}(\d|X)/ }
95
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
URL Routing system (2/4)
• You can also define caching times
–Nice for GAE’s infamous «loading requests»•less critical with GAE SDK 1.4
–ability to reserve 3 instances (billing)–warmup requests
get "/aboutus", cache: 24.hours, forward: "/aboutus.gtpl"
get "/breaking-news", cache: 1.minute, forward: "/news.groovy?last=10"
96
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
URL Routing system (3/4)
• Special routes for specifying–incoming emails–jabber messages
97
email to "/incomingMail.groovy"
jabber to "/incomingXmpp.groovy"
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
URL Routing system (4/4)
• Namespace awareness: nice for multitenancy• Capability awareness: for graceful degradation
98
// @cust customer variable could be « acme »post "/@cust/update", forward: "/update.groovy", namespace: { "ns-$cust" }
// different destinations depending on the GAE services status
get "/speakers", forward { to "/speakers.groovy" // default destination // when the datastore is not available to "/unavailable.gtpl" on DATASTORE not ENABLED // show some maintenance is upcoming to "/speakers.groovy?maintenance=true" on DATASTORE \ is SCHEDULED_MAINTENANCE}
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Capabilities
• Google App Engine allows you to know the status and availability of the various services–DATASTORE, DATESTORE_WRITE, MEMCACHE...–ENABLED, DISABLED, UNKNOWN,
SCHEDULED_MAINTENANCE–is() and not() methods
99
if (capabilities[DATASTORE_WRITE].is(ENABLED)) { // write some content in the datastore} else { // otherwise, redirect to some maintenance page}
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Task queue API
// access a configured queue using the subscript notationqueues['dailyEmailQueue'] // or using the property access notationqueues.dailyEmailQueue // you can also access the default queue with:queues.defaultdefaultQueue
// add a task to the queuequeue << [ countdownMillis: 1000, url: "/task/dailyEmail", taskName: "sendDailyEmailNewsletter", method: 'PUT', params: [date: '20090914'], payload: content]

Jabber / XMPP support (1/3)
• Sending instant messages
String recipient = "[email protected]" // check if the user is onlineif (xmpp.getPresence(recipient).isAvailable()) { // send the message def status = xmpp.send(to: recipient, body: "Hello, how are you?") // checks the message was successfully // delivered to all the recipients assert status.isSuccessful()}
101
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Jabber / XMPP support (2/3)
• Sending instant messages with an XML payload
String recipient = "[email protected]" // check if the service is onlineif (xmpp.getPresence(recipient).isAvailable()) { // send the message def status = xmpp.send(to: recipient, xml: { customers { customer(id: 1) { name 'Google' } } }) // checks the message was successfully delivered to the service assert status.isSuccessful()}

</customer></customers>
102
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Jabber / XMPP support (3/3)
• Receving incoming instant messages–Once you’ve configured a route for jabber messages–Add the inbound message service in appengine-web.xml
def message = xmpp.parseMessage(request)// get the body of the messagemessage.body// get the sender Jabber IDmessage.from// get the list of recipients Jabber IDsmessage.recipients // if the message is an XML document instead of a raw string messageif (message.isXml()) { // get the raw XML message.stanza // get a document parsed with XmlSlurper message.xml}
103
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Memcache service
• Map notation access to the cache
class Country implements Serialzable { String name } def countryFr = new Country(name: 'France') // use the subscript notation to put a country object in the cache
// (you can also use non-string keys)memcache['FR'] = countryFr // check that a key is present in the cacheif ('FR' in memcache) { // use the subscript notation to get an entry from the cache using a key
def countryFromCache = memcache['FR']}
104
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Closure memoization
• Cache the return values for each dinstinct invocation (for a given arguments set)
105
def countEntities = memcache.memoize { String kind -> datastore.prepare( new Query(kind) ) .countEntities()}
// first calldef totalPics = countEntityes('photos')
// second call, hitting the cachetotalPics = countEntityes('photos')
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Blobstore enhancements
• The blobstore allows to store some large content–images, videos, etc.
106
def blob = ...print blob.filename // contentType, creation, size
// output the content of the blob to the responseblob.serve response
// read the content of the blobblob.withReader { Reader r -> ... }blob.withStream { InputStream is -> ... }
// delete the blobblob.delete()
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Images service
• Readable DSL for manipulating images
107
def blobKey = ...
def image = blobKey.image.transform { resize 1600, 1200 crop 0.1, 0.1, 0.9, 0.9 horizontal flip // vertical flip too rotate 90 feeling lucky // image corrections}
def thumbnail = image.resize(100, 100)
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Channel Service
• For Comet-style applications
• Then in the view, in JavaScript...
108
def token = channel.createChannel('clientID')channel.send 'clientID', 'Hi!'
channel = new goog.appengine.Channel(token);socket = channel.open();socket.onmessage = function(msg) { ... }

Simple plugin system (1/3)
• Gaelyk features a simple plugin system for extending your apps and share commonalities
• A plugin lets you–provide additional groovlets and templates–contribute new URL routes–add new categories–define variables in the binding–override existing binding variables–provide any static content–add new libraries–do any initialization–add before/after request hooks
109
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Simple plugin system (2/3)
• A plugin is actually just a zip file!–Basically, just a Gaelyk application, minus...
•the Groovy / Gaelyk / GAE JARs•the web.xml and appengine-web.xml descriptors
–But with a /WEB-INF/plugins/myplugin.groovy descriptor
• A plugin must be referenced in /WEB-INF/plugins.groovy with–install myplugin
•shortcut to /WEB-INF/plugins/myplugin.groovy
110
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.

Summary
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
Summary
• Easy access to a cloud solution–Deploying Java apps, as easily as you would with PHP
• Familiar to Java folks–Your good old Servlet centric webapps style
• Pretty cheap–You need a high-trafficed website to reach the quotas
• Gaelyk provides a simplified approach to creating Servlet centric webapps in a productive manner–Leveraging Groovy’s servlet / template support and
dynamic capabilities
113
Copyright 2011 SpringSource. Copying, publishing or distributing without express written permission is prohibited.
What’s coming next?
• Expect more sugar around the Datastore–An SQL-like query DSL–Easier relationship management (builder?)
• Perhaps pre-compiled groovlets and templates–Less needed since SDK 1.4
•(reserve 3 hot instances, warmup requests)
• Testing facilities specific to Gaelyk–testing utility class, Spock-specific ones...
• Anything that’ll come up in newer GAE SDK versions
