Using Spring as a backend for grails front end

We have a Spring application which exposes all the business logic as RESTful web services, which is consumed by the jQuery front end. Our jQuery front end code is becoming unmanageable with javascript manipulating the html files. So we are planning to use grails with jquery/bootstrap to overcome these issues. Right now, we are doing a Poc to understand the implications of moving to new stack.

Our current understanding is that we will run two applications - one for grails and one for Spring backend. We can implement CAS to maintain the session between these two apps. Grails will use spring for all data as well as business logic. Our front end communicates only with grails, which in turn connects to Spring as need basis.

I am not sure what are the potential things to look for in the new approach. Can someone provide feedback on our approach?

Thanks --Venky

I would suggest to create only one app, in grails. Plug all your existing code into src/java and use groovy domains/services to get data from you existing business logic.

In this way you will not have the overhead to run 2 webapps that will communicate over http to serve one client request.
