JRuby 1.1 released - ready for production!

Posted by arungupta on April 09, 2008 at 09:00 AM | Comments (0)

JRuby 1.1 is released and ready for production use today. You can unleash the potential in 3 simple steps - download, unzip & get started. Here is a quote from the announcement:

more and more reports of applications exceeding Ruby 1.8.6 performance; we are even beating Ruby 1.9 in some microbenchmarks

This is validated by 1 (Oct 2007), 2 (Nov 2007), 3 (Feb 2008), 4 (Feb 2008) and many other hidden/unknown reports. You can easily configure JRuby 1.1 as the platform of your choice in NetBeans 6.1 as described in TOTD #27.

Now, match this blazing performance of JRuby with GlassFish v3 gem (only 2.4 Mb) which provides a superior solution for developing and deploying Rails application. The main reasons for using GlassFish instead of WEBrick/Mongrel/LightTPD are:

Identical development and deployment environments
Handles multiple requests by maintaining JRuby runtimes and database connection pools
Ability to redploy an application without restarting container
In-built Clustering, Load Balancing, and High Availability support
Allows to leverage investment in a Java EE infrastructure and cohosting Ruby-on-Rails and Java EE applications

All the above mentioned reasons, and much more, are explained in detail in Rails powered by the GlassFish Application Server.

The gem installation is extremely simple as shown below:

~/testbed/jruby-1.1 >bin/jruby -S gem install glassfish
JRuby limited openssl loaded. gem install jruby-openssl for full support.

Updating metadata for 93 gems from http://gems.rubyforge.org
.............................................................................................
complete
Successfully installed glassfish-0.1.2-universal-java
1 gem installed

After the gem is installed, get started by developing a simple scaffold application or Mephisto.

If you are attending JavaOne 2008, then LAB 8400 will show how to develop and deploy Rails applications using NetBeans and deploy them on GlassFish. LAB 4520 will teach you more about the modular and pluggable GlassFish v3 architecture.

GlassFish JRuby wiki or JRuby wiki gives you all the latest information about JRuby-on-Rails and GlassFish.
