Groovy Eval slow performance

Groovy Eval is nice feature, unfortunately it does not have great performance. Recently, I had to calculate values on a bunch of objects and got quite dramatic performance issue. After quick investigation, I pinpointed problem to be with Eval, which can be summarized to:

def t = System.currentTimeMillis()
1000.times {
  Eval.x(44, 'x>3')
}
println (System.currentTimeMillis() - t)
7281

I tried to check if there is other solution that could do the same and I found that there is similar native Java function. In similar test I got:

import javax.script.ScriptEngine
import javax.script.ScriptEngineManager
import javax.script.SimpleBindings

def t = System.currentTimeMillis()
ScriptEngine engine = new ScriptEngineManager().getEngineByName("js");
1000.times {
  engine.eval('x>3', new SimpleBindings([x:44]))
}
println (System.currentTimeMillis() - t)
250

Obviously, it will not be absolutely the same in general and I assume Eval provides much more (and looks less ugly), but ScriptEngine is good enough for my case and it performs almost 30 times faster.

Accessing request parameters from UserDetailsService in Spring Security

If you need to use several properties to authenticate user with Spring Security, for example, by login and domain, there is no built-in way to do it. Even when you override UserDetailsService it only calls method with one username parameter.
Fortunately, there is easy way to access request context with Grails, so it is possible to extract any parameter you need, like:

import org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextHolder

class UserDetailsService implements GrailsUserDetailsService  {

  UserDetails loadUserByUsername(String username) throws UsernameNotFoundException {
    def otherParameter = RequestContextHolder.requestAttributes.params.other
       ...
  }
}

Redis exception: Cannot use Jedis when in Multi.

Jedis newbie problem when adding transactions to Redis client application:

Cannot use Jedis when in Multi. Please use JedisTransaction instead.
redis.clients.jedis.exceptions.JedisDataException: Cannot use Jedis when in Multi. Please use JedisTransaction instead.
 at redis.clients.jedis.BinaryJedis.checkIsInMulti(BinaryJedis.java:1651)

 at test.TestService$_processBet_closure1.doCall(TestService.groovy:16)
 at grails.plugin.redis.RedisService.withRedis(RedisService.groovy:67)

Description of exception is absolutely correct though a little confusing. Problem is that you are trying to call methods on Redis connection object instead of Transaction object. So most probably you have something like:

  Jedis jedis = pool.getResource()
  jedis.watch('foo')
  ...
  def transaction = jedis.multi()
  jedis.set("foo", value.toString())
  def result = transaction.exec()

But instead, you should have something like:

  Jedis jedis = pool.getResource()
  jedis.watch('foo')
  ...
  def transaction = jedis.multi()
  transaction.set("foo", value.toString())
  def result = transaction.exec()
