Answer 1

By default all views are generated at runtime using your controller configuration:

class BookController {
    static scaffold = Book  // Or any other domain class name
}

If you want to generate views (files on disk) a command from the grails CLI in required:

grails generate-views Book

See the scaffolding documentation for more details.
