Without using root URL
Example code is available on github.com/vaadin-on-grails/rest-without-root.
If you need to provide REST API from your application and you do not want to provide that from other application, there is a way how to do it from Grails even if we run there Vaadin applications.
First thing if you want to have REST API, do not map any Vaadin UI on /*
(root) url. If you have to use the root, check the next article "Using root URL for Vaadin app".

Step 2
Then, we can add URL mapping into UrlMappings.groovy
.
Step 3
Create a controller grails create-controller app.ItemController
and implement some logic there. For example, fetch some data from database and return it as JSON. In our example, we will just return a map, with dummy data, as JSON.
Step 4
Create two sample Vaadin UIs, so we can verify URL mapping.
Step 5
Start up the application and try out different URLs:
