Jobsket

Last updated by lucastex 1 year ago

Jobsket is a quite innovative grails-based application that allows people to publish and share their CVs with everyone, get recommendations about related job offers and also gives value estimation of people's cvs.

The site is available to the general public but right now it has been made available only for two countries, Spain and Ireland. You can anyways browse it and have a look at the website to see how we used Grails. Site is running with Tomcat and grails 1.0.4 and few plugins here and there. We also had few issues with multiple datasources handling in Grails so we ended up with a mixture of hibernate and gorm-based stuff. Our system has got also a strong set of Java backend services which we had to integrate.

These are the plugins that we are currently using:

• Canoo WebTest: functional testing.
• Grails UI: Some widgets. We started without it. Now, we need to move the whole site to use grails-ui as it is a great plug-in
• Mail Service: Email engine.
• Gravatar: User avatars.

So far our experience with grails has been very enjoyable although we think there are several things that should be improved, more concretely a neater java-grails integration and of course better Eclipse support which is a must. But as I said, so far Grails has been great.

So that is our grails success story.
