The Brewery / News: Recent posts

I have moved the code for the Brewery to the branches directory and have uploaded the almost completed code to the trunk. The new code base is called TheBrewery and it now uses Groovy/Grails for the backend. The frontend still uses Flex, but it has be updated with more features and a new look and feel(of sorts).

To use the code base you will need to do the following:
1. install the latest version of Grails on your development machine
2. copy the code for TheBrewery from subversion
3. CD to the "TheBrewery" directory and in the path perform the following commands:
1. grails install-plugin activemq
2. grails install-plugin jms
3. grails install-plugin flex
4. Ensure that you have a MySQL server instance started with a development account beer/pilsner for the thebrewery database.... read more

I will be creating a new look and feel for this application. It will be available early 2009.

Added the Copy Recipe function. This will allow users to copy a recipe and use it as a template for their own recipe.

A User Manager has been added allowing the creation, modification and removal of users. This feature is only visible to Users registered as admins.

Today the initial (alpha) release of The Brewery was made. The next release will see the inclusion of a security manager and better documentation. For now the alpha will allow anyone to play around with the application and suggest/recommend any changes/improvements.
