Simple isn't it ?



If your Rails application does not work on the gem, href="https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/enter_bug.cgi?issue_type=DEFECT">file
bugs here with "jruby" as "subcomponent" (default version is
"v3").



Alternatively, you can download href="http://glassfish.org/downloads/v3">GlassFish v3 TP2
and href="http://blogs.sun.com/arungupta/entry/rails_and_java_ee_integration2">deploy
your applications to leverage complete Java EE functionality.



You can also configure JRuby 1.1.2 as a Ruby platform in NetBeans 6.1
as described in href="http://blogs.sun.com/arungupta/entry/totd_27_configurable_multiple_ruby">TOTD
#27.

Deploying multiple apps on GlassFish v3 TP2 is a known problem as described at: https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5046 Please follow the workaround mentioned in the bug report.

I cannot get JRuby 1.1.2 to work properly with GlassFish v3 TP2 as you suggest. Deploying a single application works fine. However, when a second application is deployed into the same server, there are unexplained routing errors on literally every other page load. I have replicated this problem on two different machines. Here is information concerning my environment: Java 6 SDK JRuby 1.1.2 GlassFish v3 TP2 Rails 2.0.2 I've tried many different ways of doing this. Using Redmine. Using two Rails applications I made myself using JRuby on the host platform. All with the same results. Should I revert to GlassFish v2? Will this work with JRuby 1.1.2? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Here are the GlassFish commands I used: ./asadmin start-domain ./asadmin deploy [app name] ./asadmin undeploy [app name] Thank you for your blog. It is a great resource for GlassFish and JRuby on Rails (despite my frustration)!
