Answer 2

I am deeply involved in integrating Facebook from the social network site ESMZone.com. I initially started using the Grails facebook-connect plugin and had good success in integrating Facebook with the integration with the Grails jScurity plugin. However, when I tried to implement other functions, in particular invitations for friends, I found that the facebook-connect plugin uses the old facebook SDK, which is incompatible with the new Javascript SDK. Documentation and examples using this new SDK were easily searchable, unlike the old API.

I switched to the Grails facebook-graph plugin and was able to easily work with the Javascript API and receive friends' invitations.

Answer 3

I worked in the past weeks in a use case regarding server-side integration only (without the facebook connect style app). See some of my thoughts here: http://lbroudoux.wordpress.com/2011/02/23/integrating-facebook-from-a-grails-app/ . The solution is actually implemented in the Trailplans.com application.

Answer 4

I helped launch in San Francisco using Grails with facebook apps. So yes, this is happening. There is even a Grails plugin for integration with facebook (at the time when I am writing this, it is extremely incomplete, but it looks like it has done the work to check it again).
