Ruby-on-Rails Hello World on GlassFish
UPDATE: Simplified steps for GlassFish V2 are available here and for V3 here.
Ashish described how to create RoRaWAR (Ruby on Rails as Web ARchive). I decided to try these instructions on GlassFish V2 b46. Here are the steps I followed:- Create a simple "Hello World" RoR application using
NetBeans
6.0 M9 following this
screencast. NetBeans IDE creates a standard Rails application for you
which can be easily created using "
rails hello_demo" command as well. - Install the "
goldspike" (nee rails-integration) plug-in by giving the following command:
script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/jruby-extras/trunk/rails-integration/plugins/goldspike
On a Windows machine, this command can be invoked as:
ruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/jruby-extras/trunk/rails-integration/plugins/goldspike
The correct installation of this plug-in can be confirmed by checking for the presence of "vendor/plugins/goldspike" directory in your application directory. This plug-in's purpose is to WAR'up a RoR application. - After the plug-in is installed, right-select the NetBeans project,
select "
Run Rake Target", select "Refresh Target List". This will add a new category, "war", of rake targets. Select "war", "standalone", "create" to create a stand-alone WAR file. This is equivalent to invoking the command "rake war:standalone:create". This will archive the Rails framework libraries in the WAR file. - Drop this WAR file in "
domains/domain1/autodeploy" directory of your GlassFish instance and you are done!
This is really simple. I'll add database interaction in this app and report back.

Hello. Thank you for your work. I am trying to follow the posted instructions for installing the Goldspike and unfortunately it does not work. I have NetBeans 6 M10 installed on Windows XP and when I execute the following command:
C:\Program Files\NetBeans 6.0M10\ruby1\jruby-1.0\bin>jruby script/plugin install svn://rubyforge.org/var/svn/jruby-extras/trunk/rails-integration/plugins/goldsp
ike
I get the following error:
Error opening script file: script\plugin (The system cannot find the path specif
ied)
SVN client is installed.
Would you know what a solution to this issue might be? Thank you!

Just found a solution to my problem. Simple really.
This was done with
Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.0 M10 (build 200706281431)
Java: 1.6.0_01; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_01-b06
System: Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86; Cp1252; en_US (nb)
Userdir: C:\Documents and Settings\xyz\.netbeans\6.0m10
Create a Rails application in NetBeans
Right click on the created Rails app and select "Rails plugins"
Click on "Repositories" tab
Click on "Add URL"
In the pop-up window enter "http://jruby-extras.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/rails-integration/plugins" and click OK
Wait for the repository to load
Select the newly loaded repository
Click on the "New Plugins" tab
Wait for the list of plugins to load
Select "goldspike: http://jruby-extras.rubyforge.org/svn/trunk/rails-integration/plugins/goldspike/" plugin and click install
Click OK in the pop-up window
Wait for installation to finish
Close two pop-up windows
now use Arun Gupta's instructions (http://blogs.sun.com/arungupta/entry/ruby_on_rails_hello_world)
# The correct installation of this plug-in can be confirmed by checking for the presence of "vendor/plugins/goldspike" directory in your application directory. This plug-in's purpose is to WAR'up a RoR application.
# After the plug-in is installed, right-select the NetBeans project, select "Run Rake Target", select "Refresh Target List". This will add a new category, "war", of rake targets.
Note: if you get an error regarding being unable to delete "rake-t", then using windows explorer navigate to "path to your RoR project\nbproject\private" and renate rake-t file to rake-t.old. Try "Refreshing Target List" again.
Select "war", "standalone", "create" to create a stand-alone WAR file. This is equivalent to invoking the command "rake war:standalone:create". This will archive the Rails framework libraries in the WAR file.
Note: war file will be created in "path to your RoR project" directory
# Drop this WAR file in "domains/domain1/autodeploy" directory of your GlassFish instance and you are done!
Note: app can be accessed via:
