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.
