One of the more exciting things I've learned about recently is doing behavior driven development (BDD) with a framework called easyb. Easyb allows you to test your system by defining behavior in stories and specifications in a way that allows your "non-developer" stakeholders to understand them relatively easily. [...] Since I've been doing a ton of Grails work lately, naturally I wanted to try to incorporate it into my Grails workflow. Fortunately, there's a plugin for that, the Grails easyb plugin.

This guide is a step by step architecture walkthrough of a simple Flex application I have constructed to help depict how to build a Flex application with BlazeDS/Java/Hibernate and an in memory database. The attempt will be to use the newest features of Spring to integrate security and BlazeDS integrations since they are relatively new and undocumented at this point.

This episode is definitely worth watching!
