Om nom nom.

Trying out slicehost for the next few months, seems ok so far since it gives me a playground for my other more interesting things involving java that I want to play with.

This nifty little application (http://www.delicioussuite.com/technology/deliciousfun/applications/remote_itunes.html) allows you to remotely control remote instances of itunes using remote applescript events (see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh896.html on how to enable, you’ll need to make sure your account has a password).

Current limitations like sorting your list doesn’t work, but if you have a mac mini like I do for playing music/video/etc on your television, its a lot easier than flipping over to a VNC connection to hit ‘next’.

import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.servlet.GrailsApplicationAttributes

class BootStrap {

def init = { servletContext ->

new Role(description:"Administrators", authority:"ROLE_ADMIN").save();
new Role(description:"User", authority:"ROLE_USER").save();

def ctx = servletContext.getAttribute(GrailsApplicationAttributes.APPLICATION_CONTEXT);

def authService =  ctx.getBean("authenticateService");
def pass = authService.passwordEncoder('aPasswordGoesHere');

def config = authService.securityConfig;
def defaultRole = config.security.defaultRole;

def role = Role.findByAuthority(defaultRole);

def adminRole = Role.findByAuthority("ROLE_ADMIN");

def p = new User(username:"admin"
,passwd:pass
,enabled:true
,email:'test@example.com',
,userRealName:"Default Admin");

role.addToPeople(p);
adminRole.addToPeople(p);

if (p.save())
println("Created default admin");
else {
p.errors.allErrors.each {
println it
}
}
}

I do have a controller setup to manually import specific ids from the head end server, but its useful if I didn’t have to do this everything I hit ctrl-c in the wrong window.  Using a services orientated design, you seperate out logic from controllers (and is recommended by the grails guys), but if you need to call this from the bootup, you could follow the instructions on http://grails.org/Services (which doesn’t work…) or you could do:

import org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.servlet.GrailsApplicationAttributes

class BootStrap {

  def init = { servletContext ->
    def ctx = servletContext.getAttribute(
GrailsApplicationAttributes.APPLICATION_CONTEXT);
    def ss = ctx.getBean("feedService");

    ss.loadFromFeed();
  }
  def destroy = {
  }
}
