Screencast #Web6: First JRuby app in GlassFish
UPDATE: Simplified steps for GlassFish V2 are available here and for V3 here.
 |
Earlier in a three-part series (part1, part2, part3) I showed how a JRuby application can be deployed on GlassFish. This screencast consolidates all the entries together and shows how such an application can be developed and deployed using NetBeans Ruby IDE. |
Enjoy it here!
The screencast is divided in four segments:
- Create a "Hello World" Rails app
- Deploy this app as WAR in GlassFish
- In Rails app, read the greeting from MySQL database
- Deploy this app as WAR in GlassFish
Here are some more useful links
- Rails Integration Plugin (or goldspike)
- Running Rails with ActiveRecord-JDBC
The NetBeans IDE provides a comprehensive support for Ruby code completion, refactoring, debugging, Rails support, support for RHTML files, code templates, unit test execution, shortcuts, and much more. Please post your questions about Ruby support in NetBeans IDE to users@ruby.netbeans.org.

Just a simple question ,
WHY?
I am very sory , but I dont get it.
I have everything the easy way from pure ROR, and you come to sugest me to make them complecated. why? what is the reason of this? please give a logic explanation. As I see it someone is trying to steal something for "free".
PS: The "not_so_captcha" bellow has no security.

Kritias, There are several advantages of using JRuby and GlassFish. First of all, you can deploy your Rails applications on GlassFish which provides high-availability and clustering support. Redploying an application does not require a restart of the server. Using GlassFish also gives you access to several databases that can be accessed only via JDBC. Last but not the least, you've access to a vast amount of Java libraries that can be invoked from Rails application. I'm working on a more complete entry and will post it in the near future.

Arun, it would be good if you could show us how to configure JRuby and Rails to use the JavaDB (Derby) database installed with GlassFish so we don't need to use MySQL. Thanks!
