Answer 1

Please checkout https://github.com/alvarosanchez/grails-spring-security-rest the rest security plugin. It has support for JWT and is straight forward to configure. Be aware that there's a possible security issue with JWT (the user is serialized in the JWT token and deserialized without checking the existence of the user), I made a pull request for this.
