grails create war with no jars

grails war --nojars

redirect http to https with grails

use a grails filter:
class SecurityFilters {
def filters = {
https(controller: '*', action: '*') {
before = {
if (!request.secure) {
String url = request.requestURL.toString()
String prefix = "http://"
String suffix = ".dispatch"

int startIndex = prefix.size()
def endIndex = url.indexOf(suffix) - 1
def grails = url.indexOf("/grails/")

String body = url[startIndex..grails - 1] + url[grails + 7..endIndex]
String secureHttp = "https://$body"
redirect(url: secureHttp)
return false
}
}
}

empty subject (no subject) in email with grails mail plugin

When sending email using the grails mail plugin, the email subject always ends up empty with (no subject)

this is a known problem. see the link
http://www.nabble.com/Grails-mail-plugin-0.5-:-subject-and-body-always-empty-td20008519.html

The problem happens if you have groovyws-all-0.4.jar in your lib directory. groovyws-all.jar also has javax.mail.* classes packed in there. The fix is as simple unjaring, remove the javax.mail package and rejar it.

hope someone finds this helpful... spent a good half day researching this
