How to use springsource tool suite for spring web service development?
quick start of how link/guidance is required
Here is a link showing almost everything step by step and you can even see the famous Spring logo in the IDE showing he's using STS: http://briansjavablog.blogspot.com/2013/01/spring-web-services-tutorial.html

Can Selenium webDriver Python bindings test a website developed in Ruby on Rails ? Also will I be able to use Firebug to know the id etc. of the webwlements of that website? I am very new to web test automation. Any help would be appreciated.
Can Selenium webDriver Python bindings test a website developed in Ruby on Rails ?
Yes, but if you write the tests in the code of the project if you encounter any issues you could always ask a dev who is familiar with the code base. When you use another language you're risking having a resource familiar with the language to ask.
Also will I be able to use Firebug to know the id etc. of the webwlements of that website?
Yes you can use firebug to find the css id, xpath, etc. If you're using Chrome the web developer settings has these features built in.
It doesn't matter for the driver whats the underline technology powers the site under test. That being said if you want to hook up into the back end for better reporting etc it would be easier to do with the same language
I have an existing, eclipse based web servlet application that authenticates using http basic authentication. I am looking to convert this to Spring based security. I understand what has to be done programatically, but am having problems with the details of configuring the project itself in eclipse. I am using the Spring STS toolkit, and I am able to successfully import one of the Spring Security sample apps (openid-xml) and it works fine.
My existing application also works properly when run under STS, but without Spring support
I would like a recommendation for either a tutorial on making this conversion, or some useful advice. For example, is it easier to
a) create a new Spring application and try to migrate my existing code into it, or b) try to convert my code by importing the various spring libraries, etc? c) convert my existing app to use maven instead of eclipse (Spring just doesn't seem to want to work without maven, and i am at a loss here) - naturally, I have no idea how to do this.
Any advice will be most gratefully received, after a day of hit and miss frustration.
I have answered my own question, and will try to provide some details for those who may be having the same problem.
First, there is some relatively useless info available on stackoverflow, but some good stuff as well.
This (https://stackoverflow.com/a/14867188/1374167) is completely wrong. It is certainly possible to secure a servlet with Spring Security. The trick is to realize that you are going to have to use Maven and Gradle to build the libraries for Spring and Spring Security.
Once you have built these jar files, you simply import them into Eclipse (it doesn't really seem to matter which version) and set up your web.xml and security contraints.
I used this project as a starting point. It's not perfect, but it got me on the right track, after I updated the spring and spring security jar files. The full blog post is here
I had a frustrating experience getting to this point but I hope this information will help others. It's quite simple once you understand what to do.
I want to know that how to configure/run Activiti BPM in Grails?? I'm using fedora as my OS, Grails 2.1 . If their is any tutorial websites are is plz mention it also..
There is a plugin for Grails applications that provides much of Activiti within a Grails app. http://grails.org/plugin/activiti However, development has sadly stopped on it by the main developer. The last update was for Activiti 5.9 and Grails 2.1, though much of the plugin content seems to be built for older versions of Grails; for example, actions in the plugin's TaskController are all closures, not methods. Also, someone did issue a pull request to update it to 5.10.
I've been trying to puzzle through the source for that plugin myself. I keep vacillating between simply setting up a standalone Activiti server and utilizing the RESTful API from within a Grails Service class, importing a few of the Activiti classes into my Grails app, or trying to re-engineer the plugin to suit my needs (my site is stuck on Grails 2.0.1 for the time being).
Does Grails have any plugins with functionality similar to the django-debug-toolbar (djdt)?
See this screencast for an introduction to djdt.
Why yes it does grails debug-toolbar:
Grails Debug Toolbar is a plugin
inspired from Django Debug Toolbar
While it doesn't have all the features of djdt it is planned to expand the feature set in the future, here is relevant section from their webpage:
Future work
Currently the views of debugtoolbar
need to go in the grails-app/views of
the application. When you install the
plugin they are automatically copied
to your application grails-app/views.
Need to avoid this.
JavaScript and
static resources for the toolbar
reside in web-app/debugtoolbar. It is
also copied to your application
web-app/debugtoolbar. Need to avoid
this.
A way of ordering the panels in
the toolbar. Currently it is random
depending on how beans are found
during execution of tag.
More useful panels such as Timing the requests, SQL queries, logging etc
It not quite a toolbar (and not a plugin) but Spring Insight gives you detailled request timing right down to the JDBC level. It integrates pretty nicely with Spring Tool Suite from what I've seen.
Check out Peter's screencast: http://www.grails.org/blog/view/pledbrook/New+screencast%3A+Profiling+with+STS+%26+Spring+Insight
You need to deploy your app to Spring's tcServer rather than a plain tomcat which might be fine for development tuning.

We are trying to look for plugins for Grails to make a CMS site. Any suggestions?
Check out Weceem at
http://www.weceem.org/weceem/
I've never used it but apparently it can be used as a stand-alone site or integrated into an existing grails app as a plugin.
There is also Alfresco plugin, though it's likely more focused on the document management side of Alfresco (it allows both Document Management and Web Content Management).
