Being a rails newbie, I started to design our first rails-based webapp. This app should not only be used via browsers, but we also want to provide a (RESTful) api. I love the ''convention over configuration'' paradigm, but am totally clueless on what to do when it comes to user authentication. Is there a THE rails-way of doing this? I found many excellent gems and plugins, such as

Has anyone attempted to run Rails inside of JRuby? Is that even possible? Aside from the performance implications, is it a bad idea? I''m thinking that it might be useful in very rare cases where a Ruby/Rails - equivalent of a Java solution may not exist yet. Any thoughts? Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

We have an application Ruby on rails, which fires a number of queries to the database.

I am nearing the end on a project i have been working on and am trying to figure out where to host it. I am very tempted to host it on google''s app engine. you get a ton of space, band width, and processor all for free! I was hoping to get some advice as to what people think about deplying on the app engine. Would it better to wait until ruby is supported? Are there perfomrance issues

Hi everybody I''am working on a Rails app (using utf-8) in which I use the Spreadsheet gem to generate Excel files (.xls in my case). I ran into some issues when trying to write foreign characters to the generated Excel-File. The solution I found so far is to use Iconv like this: Iconv.conv(''ISO-8859-9'', ''utf-8'', some_string) This works fine with for

I''m trying to figure out how Ruby in general, and/or anything extra Rails may have, can talk to Java APIs of third party server apps. After quite a few search attempts net-wide and on ruby forums, and with "Programming Ruby" in hand, I''m coming up with zilch. Either I''m not finding it, or I''m not recognizing it. I''m assuming there has

I would like to know if there is a way to ''package'' an application with all the associated gems and ship it to a new server and having it to "just work" in a Windows environment. Although I have never done it I know that Rails can be frozen into the application. I am wondering if I can do the same thing with other gems. I have found this

Hello, My name is Sean Gilligan (wikiname: SeanGilligan) and I'd like to contribute to the CentOS wiki. Initially I'd like to do some documentation for Java (OpenJDK) on CentOS 5.3. I've used Fedora for years, but am getting tired of the obsolescence that keeps happening. I'm also very excited about having an integrated Java that I can use for actual server deployments. I

== NOW A new version of fastthread, the library providing better implementations of the classes in thread.rb, has been released. Please note that fastthread is only for Ruby 1.8, not JRuby or any other Ruby implementation (most of them don''t need it anyway!). == WHY The existing implementation of Mutex, Queue, etc. in thread.rb is slow. fastthread''s is faster (and bypasses

Hi, I''d be interested to hear from people who have used either JRuby or one of the Java-Ruby bridges like jrb or yajb to call out to Java classes from Rails. Which bridge did you use, how did it work out? Which one do you recommend? Is anybody running Rails on JRuby on a production server, or is Rails on JRuby still to experimental for that? Thanking you in advance, Elmar

I''ve read a ton of comparisons that compare one framework to another, and one language to another. There''s so much conflicting advice out there that it''s hard to know what is best. Did I make the right choice choosing Rails for my first web project? I guess we''ll see. The only reason why I''m hesitant is that a lot of the big name sites use php

ok, i want to be able to send some data from my rails app to a CRM. The library that defines the API for talking to the CRM is written in java. I got JRuby working, which is pretty cool, but to my understanding i would have to convert my ruby on rails app to a jruby on rails app which, as far as i''ve understood, is different deal altogether and would be set up more like a java server

Hi, I am reading docs to understand how to deploy with Capistrano my ROR webapps. In guides.rubyonrails.org/2_3_release_notes.html is written: "If you’re one of the (fairly rare) Rails developers who deploys in a fashion that depends on the inspector, reaper, and spawner scripts, you’ll need to know that those scripts are no longer included in core Rails. If you need them, you’ll be able to
