BeanBuilder's DSL offers very comfortable way to define beans. I tried sample and it works just fine! But adding into spring configurations reveals some problems in the framework: it can not create customizer bean and fails with "Requested bean is currently in creation: Is there an unresolvable circular reference?" exception. I tried the last Spring snapshot (2.5.5 20080606) - result is the same. So, currently there is no way for use DSL together with AOP. Thank you, Alex Great post and very useful knowledge!

The container has its own internal object model for these definitions. As such, object definitions can come from a variety of formats. Particularly enticing, from what I’ve read so far, is to configure exception handling advice using the DSL toolkit. Other interesting approaches for configuration are to use a scripting language DSL (see this post for Spring Java + Groovy integration). At the end of the day, the goal is to let you pick among multiple configuration approaches for the task at hand.

I'm quite interested in using Grails BeanBuilder, mainly in combination with XML-based bean definition files, e.g. for aop/tx-namespace based configuration of AOP or TX. What I would like most is something like JavaConfigs ConfigurationBeanPostProcessor for BeanBuilder. That would be even nicer then your suggestion, I think. Regards and again thanks for your post!

We have created a separate jar called grails-spring-*.jar that contains only the BeanBuilder and its supporting classes. So you no longer need Grails core. Also it does now work without the servlet dependencies and there are two BeanBuilders: BeanBuilder and WebBeanBuilder. The latter extends BeanBuilder and takes a ServletContext etc. All of this will be available officially in Grails 1.0 RC2, which will be out in the next week or so. Also it should be noted that you can use BeanBuilder standalone without the need to embedd within XML if you want to take the Groovy DSL use further. Again, great post. Cheers, Graeme Hi Dave,
