As long as I''m on the subject, I thought I''d toss out a little update about JRuby on Rails. We have been working feverishly to get Rails working on JRuby before JavaOne in May. We two active JRuby devs has taken opposite ends of things, with me focusing on getting the code-generation scripts to function and Tom Enebo focusing on getting the request pipeline to start working. We''ve also had a few other folks contributing little bits and pieces, like a very early JDBC-based ActiveRecord connector. A week ago I finally managed to get the generate script running, with all the built-in generators producing what seems to be correct output. This, by extension, means that a number of Rails libraries are also loading and executing successfully. Tom has had some similar success getting Rails to handle a request, but there''s more work to be done there. Our goal is to be able to install the Rails gem, generate a small Rails app, and run it (probably deployed in as a WAR file in an app server by JavaOne. We will be watching Rails as it continues to move forward, so that we can continue to improve our support for it. We will also likely start submitting patches if we find any enhancements or changes that might be useful. My blog listed below will have periodic updates on our progress, as will the JRuby homepage at jruby.sf.net. Thank you all for your continuing work on Rails. -- Charles Oliver Nutter @ headius.blogspot.com JRuby Developer @ jruby.sourceforge.net Application Architect @ www.ventera.com _______________________________________________ Rails-core mailing list Rails-core@lists.rubyonrails.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails-core
