Hi! After many years surviving with Velocity scripts, it is time to enjoy
Groovy's magic! :-)
Great! :)
Both XWiki sites and the web, in general, are crowded
with sites/pages with
plenty of Groovy tutorials and manuals, but it would be great to have some
simple examples to helping understand the similarities and differences
between Velocity and Groovy.
Please, is there any XWiki resource explaining, for instance, how to
achieve the same results shown in these sections by using Groovy?
There’s this doc that you may or may not have seen already:
http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/DevGuide/Scripting
Please check in this doc the limitations of using groovy (programming rights).
It’s easy to convert a velocity script in groovy in general since the bindings are the
same and all the API calls are actually calls on java objects and thus are the same from
all scripting languages.
Let us know if you have specific questions.
Thanks
