Rails and JRuby FAQs
Should I Start an Enterprise Server Domain and
Deploy My Application Into It, or Should I Use the
glassfish_rails Gem?
To continue the question: I'm not sure what the second option does, or why I might choose one
over the other.
Response: In a nutshell, a gem is an application runner. It can run your Rails application but
nothing else. If you use the Enterprise Server v3 Prelude installation, start the domain and
deploy. You can deploy several Rails applications (or Java EE applications even) concurrently
with a dierent context root. This gives you access to dierent containers such as web and EJB
and also to the Update Tool. Enterprise Server enables you to host not only multiple Rails
applications, but also any other Java EE application.
If I Deploy an Application Using the glassfish_rails
Gem, Can I Still Access the Administration Console?
No, the gem only runs Rails applications with no extensions or extra features. You must have
Enterprise Server v3 Prelude with a web container to access the Administration Console.
Where in a Rails Application Structure Does Enterprise
Server Look for jar Files to Add to the Classpath for
That Application?
To continue the question: WAR les and exploded Java webapp directories have a WEB-INF/lib
directory. Rails applications also have a lib directory, but this is for Ruby libraries. Where in a
Rails application can I put application-specic jar les? Is there such a place, or must I place
them in the domain/lib directory?
