Dynamic Groovy Edges and Regression Isolation

See how to use Groovy to create dynamic "Groovy Edges" that can bracket your interfaces and can be isolated from the rest of the application stack.

What is it about Groovy that best suits it for this task?

1. Groovy can be written as a script and parsed at run-time and compiled into Java byte-code and then loaded by the Groovy class loader.
2. Groovy scripts can contain Groovy and Java syntax in the script file (*.groovy).
3. Groovy can use the same Java APIs that are used by traditional Java code.

JImmy will cover topics such as:

• How the Java 7 JVM shows promise with how it manages class-loading resources.
• Leveraging Spring Bean Factory configurations to point to stored "Groovy Beans" scripts.
• How to change key behavior of volatile application areas without having to incur the load or redeployment and major regression testing.
