GlassFish v3 Gem 0.2.0 now available

A newer version of GlassFish v3 Gem for Ruby on Rails is now available.

What's new ?

Codebase aligned with GlassFish v3 Technology Preview 2
Previous version (0.1.2) had some packaging issues which increased the size but now it's back to sweet 2.8 Mb.

Check if previously installed by using the following command:

~/testbed/jruby-1.1.1 >bin/jruby -S gem list glassfish

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

glassfish (0.1.2)

If already installed (as indicated by the list of gems) then uinstall it using the following command:

~/testbed/jruby-1.1.1 >bin/jruby -S gem uninstall glassfish
Successfully uninstalled glassfish-0.1.2-universal-java
Remove executables:
glassfish_rails, asadmin, asadmin.bat

in addition to the gem? [Yn] y
Removing glassfish_rails
Removing asadmin
Removing asadmin.bat

And then install it again as:

~/testbed/jruby-1.1.1 >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-0.2.0-universal-java
1 gem installed

Updating the gem is giving unpredictable results (mostly not updating) and will be investigated later.

Rails powered by the GlassFish Application Server explains why GlassFish is a better deployment option for Rails applications.

All the latest information about the gem can be found at GlassFish JRuby wiki or JRuby wiki.

Please use the gem and send us feedback on GlassFish forums, dev@glassfish or gem mailing list.

Screencast #24: Getting Started with GlassFish v3 TP2

GlassFish v3 Technology Preview 2 (aka TP2) is now released ... yaaay! Dowload it here.

GlassFish v3 has a modular (based on OSGi framework), light-weight (small kernel and fast startup time) and extensible (support for dynamic languages like JRuby and Groovy) architecture. Along with it, a new NetBeans plug-in (that replaces the existing one) is also released. The plug-in is available from the NetBeans Beta Update Center. It allows GlassFish v3 TP2 download and install in a matter of few seconds, yep that's less than a minute :)

A new GlassFish release with a new NetBeans plug-in deserve a new screencast :) It shows how to install the plug-in, download and install GlassFish v3 TP2, develop and deploy a simple web application with JSP and Servlets on the newly installed GlassFish.

Enjoy it here!

An offline version (downloadable zip file) of this screencast is available here. A complete list of GlassFish related screencasts is available on GlassFish wiki.

Let us know your feedback on users@glassfish.dev.java.net or GlassFish Forum.

JRuby 1.1.1, Rails 2.0.2, Warbler now in GlassFish v2 Update Center

Vivek updated JRuby module in GlassFish v2 UR2 Update Center. It now contains JRuby 1.1.1 + Rails 2.0.2 and Warbler (instead of Goldspike) for packaging the app.

Read all details on how to download, install and getting started here. The image below shows a snapshot of Update Center with the latest module selected:

After following all the steps (had to manually set executable perms on jruby-1.1.1/bin/jruby), your application is now hosted at "http://localhost:8080/HelloWorldRailsApp/say/hello" and shows the following output:

The generated "HelloWorldRailsApp.war" is approx 8.5 Mb and could quickly grow depending upon the gems installed and other factors. As an alternative, you can consider shared deployment as explained in each sample's GLASSFISH_README.txt.

Send us feedback at Forums or webtier@glassfish.
