This is a bug fix release with few enhancements. The issues fixed in this release are these and these There is one enhancement that I would like to mention here is that the Rails logger is wired to GlassFish gem logger so when you run your Rails application using jruby -S glassfish_rails yourappdir it will not only pring GlassFish v3 gem logs but also Rails log.

It claims to provide best of Rails(simple and fast development), Seaside(security), Django(access control by default) and uses Wicket for view templates. In few steps I had my first Lift web application running on GlassFish v3.

This is going to be my first 8th JavaOne in a row and a most busy one! Here are some of the scripting related talks and events: JavaOne vivekp 2008-05-04T10:29:15-08:00 http://weblogs.java.net/blog/vivekp/archive/2008/05/jruby_module_30.html JRuby Update Center module 3.0 for GlassFish v2 is out. It has been tested to work with GlassFish v2 UR2. The Update Center modules provide out of the box tested-on-GlassFish version of JRuby, Rails and other required gems. For the GlassFish users it is very convinient just install the JRuby module from the GlassFish update center and start writing the Rails applications. J2EE vivekp 2008-05-03T01:11:41-08:00 http://weblogs.java.net/blog/vivekp/archive/2008/05/embedding_glass.html In my blog on running Grails application on GlassFish v3, I need to create a war of my application and then deploy that war. This was a serious bottleneck in my development process as I wanted to test it out this application on GlassFish v3. I really wanted to run my Grails application with GlassFish v3 as embedded server in the same fashion as running grails run-app, that is without creating a war file and to speed up my development. By default Grails uses Jetty web server to run the applications. But I wanted to use V3, it is very modular, extensible and embeddable and and is going to allow me to get the JavaEE features that I may like to use at some point in time. One possible way was that GlassFish v3 is an OSGi container and if Grails has an OSGi container I could easily replace jetty with v3. So I mentioned this problem to Kohsuke and came to know that he is working on GlassFish v3 embed APIs. So I gave it a try and guess what? It was darn simple to write few lines of groovy script to get it embedded with Grails and run my application.

I thought of taking the first shot at it. So after looking around a bit I found out that I can simply use PyServlet to delegate the HTTP requests to my Jython servlet which can do whatever with the Python script and write it back to the Servlet output stream.

The good news is that with little bit of coding you can reuse your entity classes. caroljmcdonald commented on my blog that Brian in his blog succssfully tried out JPA and Rails on WEBRick using JavaDB. So, in this blog I would go over what you would need to do to make JPA and Rails work on GlassFish v2.

The good news is that Jerome quickly found out what the problem was and after the code went thru reviews, it was checked in and the fix went into yesterday's nightly build.
