Link Details

This weekend I was working on a StorageService service in Grails. The service takes a file, stores it somewhere, and then returns the URL where the file can be retrieved from. I can envision having multiple implementations of this service: one that simply puts the file in a directory for something like Tomcat/Apache/Nginx to serve up, one that puts the contents of the file into a database blob and has a controller that retrieves it from the database and serves it up, and one that stores the file on Amazon S3.
