Grails Spring Events Plugin

Following on from my last post Ive developed a Grails plugin that packages the asynchronous events behaviour up and adds some extra useful functionality.

In addition to the asynchronous event processing the plugin gives you:

• A publishEvent method attached to all domain classes, controllers and services.
• A Hibernate session bound to the listener thread for the duration of the notification so that listeners can access lazy-loaded properties, etc.
• The ability to have a "retry policy" for certain types of failed notifications on individual listeners. This is particularly useful for listeners that do things like invoking external web-services that may be periodically unavailable.

To install the plugin just use:

grails install-plugin spring-events

The code and some more detailed documentation is on GitHub. Ill be migrating the docs to the plugins page on grails.org soon.
