I tried to run this image gallery application on tomcat plugin provided in its tomcat plugin in the maven pom. I ran it using command "mvn tomcat:run", I was able to see the application up and running with url
http://localhost:8080/gallery/. But when I click on gallery its all empty with no categories and stuff. May be the book has insctuctions about this in grails and roo from 10th chapter, but it would be nice to have a single page somewhere before chapter 10 about how to polulate the data in H2 database and explain what this application does. I am basically stuck with this application without knowing what are the prerequisites for this application to run.
