Nice post. Groovy saves me time just about everyday at work!

I see your comment now. You have already thought of this. Forget my last comment. The other nice thing I like to use with switch is closures.

Hi Marc, I just meant this (try in GroovyConsole):

def things = ['hi', 3]
things.each { t ->
switch(t) {
case Integer: println ‘is a number’; break
case String: println ‘is a string’; break
}
}

Hi Marc, great to see some more testing with Groovy articles appearing.

Minor Grooviness suggestion: you should be able to drop the ‘.class’ suffix on f and the class names and you could merge the HtmlRadioButtonInput and HtmlCheckBoxInput branches.

Cheers, Paul.

I think switch in Java is kind of unusable. In groovy i use it day by day, eg. with my beloved Ranges.
