Rails GlassFish Gem 0.3.1 now available

Vivek released 0.3.0 version of GlassFish Gem for Rails (a total of 11 issues fixed and resolved - RubyForge & GlassFish Issue Tracker) earlier. But that caused a regression on #4228. And so matching the agility expected by Rails developers, he quickly released 0.3.1. And a wee bit smaller too - 2.68MB for 0.3.1 instead of 2.69MB for 0.3.0.

If you have an existing version of the gem, then you just need to update it:

~/testbed/jruby-1.1 >bin/jruby -S gem update glassfish -r JRuby limited openssl loaded. gem install jruby-openssl for full support. http://wiki.jruby.org/wiki/JRuby_Builtin_OpenSSL Updating installed gems... Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org Attempting remote update of glassfish Successfully installed glassfish-0.3.1-universal-java 1 gem installed Gems updated: glassfish

If the gem has never been installed, then you install it as:

~/testbed/jruby-1.1.2 >bin/jruby -S gem install glassfish JRuby limited openssl loaded. gem install jruby-openssl for full support. http://wiki.jruby.org/wiki/JRuby_Builtin_OpenSSL Successfully installed glassfish-0.3.1-universal-java 1 gem installed

And make sure next time you have to update the gem instead of installing from scratch ;) For that, just install the gem this time and let us know your feedback on GlassFish Webtier Forum or Webtier Alias. If any of your Rails application do not work then please file bugs at GlassFish Issue Tracker ("V3" as "Found in Version:" and "jruby" as "Subcomponent:").

The gem installation may require to set "JAVA_MEM=-Xmx800m" because of the growing memory requirements. Otherwise you may get "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space".

Try a simple scaffold application to see the output as shown below:


The startup output in the gem console (output from GlassFish) is:

and then the console is updated as more entries are added (output from Rails):

Redmine seems to have issues with Rails 2.1. I'll play with some other applications later. But have you tried deploying your Rails application on GlassFish gem ? As mentioned above, let us know your feedback on GlassFish Webtier Forum or Webtier Alias and file bugs on GlassFish Issue Tracker.

Details about previous versions are available at 0.2.0, 0.1.2, 0.1.1, 0.1.0.
