I'm having trouble getting SpringSource Tool Suite to compile and deploy a Java class located in a Grails project's src/java directory when I run the application from within STS. This is particularly odd given that I have a ServletFilter in this same location (albeit a different package) that gets compiled just fine, so I decided to dig into things a bit and figure out where STS deploys projects when you do grails run-app. This way I could at least see whether or not the class was getting deployed and if my class not found exceptions were related to some other issue. Turns out if you watch the console as the app launches you get a big clue. Well, the answer actually. I'm on Ubuntu so in my case, my project was deployed to /home/mwoodward/.grails/1.2.1/projects/PROJECT_NAME/resources, so I poked around in there to discover that it even creates the package for my Java class but alas, there's no compiled class in the package. At least I confirmed I'm not losing my mind. Now to solve the mystery of why STS isn't compiling and deploying that class.
This is a first for me since under normal circumstances we run all our Django applications on Linux with Nginx, but we're in the process of developing an application for another department and due to the requirements around this project, we'll be handing the code off to them to deploy. They don't have any experience with Linux or web servers other than IIS, so I recently took up the challenge of figuring out how to run Django applications on Windows Server 2012 with IIS.
Based on the dated or complete lack of information around this I'm assuming it's not something that's very common in the wild, so I thought I'd share what I came up with in case others need to do this.
