Mor.ph Deploy Plugin

This plugin prepares your WAR file for deployment to the Mor.ph scalable deployment platform service.

All you do is create a Mor.ph account, download the JAR + properties file from their site into the root directory of your grails project. Then install this plugin:

grails install-plugin morph-deploy

Once installed this will take care of the following for you:

• The JNDI datasource will be set up in your web.xml
• The JNDI mail session will be set up in your web.xml, and the mailsession and mailsender beans configured in resources.groovy (not tested use of this in app yet!)
• The JDBC 2.0 extensions JAR will be REMOVED from your WAR when you run "grails war". This is required for correct Mor.ph deployment

So to deploy your application to Mor.ph all you need to do is:

1. In DataSource.groovy in the "production" environment, set it up like this:

production {
        dataSource { 
            driverClassName = 'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver'
            dbCreate = "update" 
            jndiName = "java:comp/env/jdbc/morph-ds" 
            dialect = 'org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect'
        }
}

Obviously you make this change only once. If you are using POSTGRES, use the correct settings for it, as found in the Java cookbook on the Mor.ph website

2. Run: grails war

3. Run: grails deploy

When prompted, enter your Morph account username and password and wait while it uploads and automatically deploys your application!
