Thread synchronization in Grails application using Hazelcast

Recently, I have been looking for a way to implement thread synchronization in a Grails application which is hosted on several nodes on Rackspace. And while it's rather easy to synchronize threads within a single servlet container, it might be difficult to do it when the same data is simultaneously updated from separate server nodes. This post shows how this task can be solved with Hazelcast.

'Dynamically add and remove HTML blocks with Grails tag library and JQuery' post illustration
Dynamically add and remove HTML blocks with Grails tag library and JQuery

This post shows how to create Grails tag library for adding and removing identical HTML blocks, which can be used when you want to give user an option to dynamically add extra inputs for additional information. There are lots of simple JQuery and pure JavaScript solutions for this feature, but, in general, they are not flexible and clean enough for a Grails application. Pure tag library approach helps to avoid HTML and JS clutter in a GSP file and speeds up the development, since the only thing you need is to specify the tag with necessary parameters.
