Tic Tac Toe using Rails and Grails on GlassFish v3
GlassFish v3
is a modular
(OSGi compliant), embeddable (runs in-VM) and extensible (hosts
non-Java applications) Application Server. The "extensible" part was
demonstrated during JavaOne
2008 by deploying Rails,
Grails and Django sample
application on GlassFish
v3 Technology Preview 2. This blog announces the availability
of Rails, Grails and (of course!) Java EE version of the demo code.
The
sample application is a simple multi-player game that can be played on
Internet and deployed on GlassFish. One of the simplest multi-player
game is Tic-Tac-Toe.
The complete instructions to checkout, build, deploy and run the sample
are available here.
The demo can certainly be improved by using the best practices from
Rails and Grails and I'll work on them in next few days.
The
demo is played in 2 different browser windows (tested on Firefox,
Safari & IE). The clicks in the grid on one browser are
displayed
on the other browser (propagated using GlassFish Comet) and row and
column winners are shown.
Some points highlighted by the demo are:
- GlassFish v3 supports deployment of Rails and Grails applications, in addition to traditional Java EE apps.
- GlassFish v3 has a completely modular architecture as evident by the pluggability of JRuby/Rails.
- Features of the underlying GlassFish runtime can be accessed.
- Any click in the grid is pushed to the endpoint and then propagated to all the clients using GlassFish Comet. So effectively, now you can build Comet-enabled applications using Rails and Grails.
- Rails application is deployed as a composite application where Serlvet is bundled with the application and accessed from the View.
You can learn about the support of different Dynamic Languages on GlassFish on glassfish-scripting.dev.java.net. Send us feedback on webtier@glassfish.dev.java.net or GlassFish WebTier Forum.

Ernesto,
Can you provide the exact commands you are using to check out the code ?

Good morning Mr Gupta,
I tried again this morning and everything was ok. I hope I can understand the code...
Thank you very much.

Ernesto, that's great!
I meant to update the code next week so that it works with Rails 2.x and some other improvements. Will keep the blog updated.

Hi Arun,
Did you update Tic Tac Toe demo ?
I'm interested to use it with Rails 2.3.2 and maybe refactor it to use jquery plugin's Comet
(http://code.google.com/p/jquerycomet/)
Thanks,
Babar

Babar, have not updated the demo with Rails 2.3.2. Would you like to help ?
Posted by Arun Gupta on May 29, 2009 at 06:07 PM PDT #
I think I'll have time to do that this summer.
Posted by Babar on June 11, 2009 at 05:55 AM PDT #
Babar, Let me know when you are ready and I'll get you signed up.
