Efficient Exports with Grails

The time came for me to export data to Excel in my partially enterprise targeted application built on Grails v1.1.1.  My first impulse was to go for a grails plugin.  The export plugin seemed to be pretty close to what I needed.  Sadly I could not get it to work and anyway I need to export denormalized data that spans several domain objects.

Having given up on the plugin I hit google and found a really good solution that seems to offer about the best possible performance short of pregenerating the reports. 

This solution which uses Hibernate Projections seems like a good candidate for a plugin.
