That’s because there’s no GWT Development Mode plugin for Firefox 14. And now I can’t work!

Wait! There’s a solution. Instead of fighting with ubuntu with reversing installed Firefox to 13. I can have parallel versions of FF.

So how to install previous version of Firefox on ubuntu?
Go there

http://mirror.dacentec.com/mozilla/firefox/releases/

and download your binary. Be cautious with 32 and 64 version. If you don’t know what version do you have, call


uname -m

and it’ll tell you.

Then unpack your version to desired directory (other than current Firefox’s dir).
Close any running Firefox instances and run your downloaded version. Beware of upgrading both firefox and any plugins. Don’t do this. This copy should remain as is.

If you’re looking for unofficial GWT Development Plugin versions (for FF12, FF13 and soon for FF14)  you might looking at my gwt entries.

New HTTP Logger Grails plugin

I've wrote a new Grails plugin - httplogger. It logs:

  • request information (url, headers, cookies, method, body),
  • grails dispatch information (controller, action, parameters),
  • response information (elapsed time and body).

It is mostly useful for logging your REST traffic. Full HTTP web pages can be huge to log and generally waste your space. I suggest to map all of your REST controllers with the same path in UrlMappings, e.g. /rest/ and configure this plugin with this path.

Here is some simple output just to give you a taste of it.

17:16:00,331 INFO  filters.LogRawRequestInfoFilter  - 17:16:00,340 INFO  filters.LogRawRequestInfoFilter  - 17:16:00,342 INFO  filters.LogGrailsUrlsInfoFilter  - 17:16:00,731 INFO  filters.LogOutputResponseFilter  - >> #1 returned 200, took 405 ms.
