TOTD #70, #71, #72, #73 shows four integration tests that can ensure that the latest JRuby and GlassFish versions work nicely with each other.

#70 showed how to create a trivial Rails application and run it using GlassFish Gem. #71 showed how the same application can be deployed on GlassFish v3 Prelude. #72 showed how to deploy the same application on GlassFish v3. #73 showed how to deploy a Rails application as WAR file and use the JDBC connection pooling framework available in GlassFish.

The next set of tests ensure that some commonly used open source Rails applications can be easily run using this setup. The first one is Redmine - 0.8 is the stable release now. Redmine was first tried on GlassFish a few months ago. The steps have simplified since then :)

Lets begin integration test #5.

1. Download Redmine 0.8 ...
   
   

   /samples/jruby/redmine >svn co http://redmine.rubyforge.org/svn/branches/0.8-stable redmine-0.8 A    redmine-0.8/test A    redmine-0.8/test/unit A    redmine-0.8/test/unit/document_test.rb A    redmine-0.8/test/unit/token_test.rb . . . A    redmine-0.8/public/stylesheets/scm.css A    redmine-0.8/public/stylesheets/application.css A    redmine-0.8/public/favicon.ico  U   redmine-0.8 Checked out revision 2580.

2. Copy "config/database.yml.example" to "config/database.yml" and then generate/migrate the database:
   
   

   ~/samples/jruby/redmine/redmine-0.8 >../jruby-1.2.0RC2/bin/jruby -S rake db:create (in /Users/arungupta/samples/jruby/redmine/redmine-0.8) ~/samples/jruby/redmine/redmine-0.8 >../jruby-1.2.0RC2/bin/jruby -S rake db:migrate (in /Users/arungupta/samples/jruby/redmine/redmine-0.8) == 1 Setup: migrating ========================================================= -- create_table("attachments", {:force=>true})    -> 0.0880s -- create_table("auth_sources", {:force=>true})    -> 0.1430s . . . == 100 AddChangesetsUserId: migrating ========================================= -- add_column(:changesets, :user_id, :integer, {:default=>nil})    -> 0.0980s == 100 AddChangesetsUserId: migrated (0.0990s) ================================ == 101 PopulateChangesetsUserId: migrating ==================================== == 101 PopulateChangesetsUserId: migrated (0.0030s) ===========================

   
   
3. Redmine is a Rails 2.1.x application so install Rails 2.1.x using JRuby 1.2 and run the application as:
   
   

   ~/samples/jruby/redmine/redmine-0.8 >../jruby-1.2.0RC2/bin/jruby -S glassfish Mar 13, 2009 11:14:59 AM com.sun.enterprise.glassfish.bootstrap.ASMainStatic findDerbyClient INFO: Cannot find javadb client jar file, jdbc driver not available Mar 13, 2009 11:14:59 AM APIClassLoaderService createAPIClassLoader INFO: APIClassLoader = java.net.URLClassLoader@59fb8de1 . . . Mar 13, 2009 11:15:10 AM com.sun.grizzly.pool.DynamicPool$1 run INFO: New instance created in 10,175 milliseconds Mar 13, 2009 11:15:10 AM com.sun.enterprise.v3.server.AppServerStartup run INFO: GlassFish v3  startup time : Static(356ms) startup services(11456ms) total(11812ms)

   
   Very simple and seamless!
   

The application is now accessible at "http://locahost:3000". The following screen dumps are captured by traversing through different parts of the application:















The next blog will show the last test in this series. The current set of tests are available using the tags rubyonrails+glassfish+integrationtest.
