similar to: I forgot. Why do we hate* Java?

For a company study I am trying to come up with what would one need to replicate *grosso modo and at the functional level* what we get in Rails. This does not need to be an "equivalent" solution, just what a Java programmer would build upon, the canonical aggregation of components, the usual tools. My first fraft is: Struts -> C layer Hibernate -> M

I realize this subject is redundant for this community, but I''m hoping the Rails community can provide me with some additional ammunition to help push a rails project I''m pitching over the proverbial tipping point at my company. The Situation: I''m the lead architect at a large bay area retailer. My team and I are currently suffering through the process of paying

Part 2 of my Rails article on ONLamp.com just made the slashdot front page! The entry, itself, is here: http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/03/04/1319242&tid=156 Curt

My application has one central database + Rails server and many distributed GUI clients. The remote clients need to read and update different collections of ActiveRecords. They also need to submit fairly demanding calculation + database update requests. Have you designed a similar Ruby application? What did you do? I''ll try to summarize the approachs I''m considering

hi, i have noticed that the validations in RoR happen at server side mostly what sites do is using javascript they validate user information there... whats the point of doing it at the server side is it that loading of javascript file in a browser makes a response to client slow and validation at server side offsets that....????? any sugeestions???? is it that i am missing something as

I''m curious -- how many of us came to Rails from other branches of the OO world -- Java, C# -- and how many of us came from the design or non-OO scripting worlds? Reason I ask is that I''m finding Rails a blast and very productive, but I think one reason is that I already cut my teeth on MVC and ORM during two years of writing apps with J2EE/Struts/Hibernate. And in Javaland, it

I have a STRUTS based webapp and I want to port it to RUBY/RAILS... Can anyone suggest a migration strategy...I would like to migrate my struts actions over time if possible.

Hi, I''m currently running an apache/jboss cocoon/flow/hibernate/ajax paypal (directpayment) project and am looking into the possibility of porting it across to ruby/rails. For that reason I would like to know the following: 1. Can I call my java classes or would I be looking at a complete rewrite in ruby? 2. How effective is ruby in terms of seperation of concerns regarding design from

I have been frustrated with J2EE technology just like any other developer who has worked in that technology for a long time. This made me learn about Rails and I was excited about RoR. Today I came across JBoss Seam framework and I am not able to contain my excitement. My passion for JEE development is back. It seems like it is better than RoR. I would like to hear differnt opinions about this

Hi all, The Rails book talks about running Rails under Apache, but is there a (relatively) easy way to deploy it to either Tomcat or JBoss? Is the CGI servlet the only option?

Received this link from a regular email blast, it may interest some of you. I guess RoR is starting to gain more traction :-) http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/db2/library/techarticle/dm-0606dumbill/?ca=dnw-723 Cheers Mohit.

All, I am looking to write an ecommerce application and debating using rails or struts. Any advice as to which path to follow.

I am starting a large project and still selecting what framework to use. Rather than ask brand x what is wrong with brand y, I am more interested in self confession. Why would I *not* want to use Rails (compared to Iowa and Nitro). I posted a synopsis of the project to ruby-talk but will repost it here if anyone wants it. xev

Subject says it all. Anybody taken a look yet? http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/railsckbk/?CMP=ILC-GG7423313304&ATT=railsckbk After buying the Ruby Cookbook and the other Rails book, I''m pretty gunshy about another Rough Cuts purchase. Sean

I am a web developer using PHP and very limited JavaScript. I keep hearing about RoR and am interested in learning it, but before I make the jump I''d like to hear about the types of applications I should be using it for. On all the tutorials you see big apps like stores, social networking, shopping carts, etc. I don''t have any immediate plans to be building something that

Hi, I would like to use dtrace to observe some behaviour in my J2EE app running in JBoss. I start JBoss normally in a 1.6 VM. When I try to enable set the ExtendedDTraceProbes flag using jinfo, I get a thread dump in the JBoss console and the message: "Unable to open door: target process not responding or HotSpot VM not loaded" in the jinfo console. I have tried this with both

Hi Another newbe here..... I was wondering if someone could please help me understand the controllers/view inner working in Production 1. If xxx_controller.rb is only loaded once does it mean there is only one instance of Controller serving all requests? 2. If only one instance of controller is there then how are controllers instance variables protected from data corruption when serving multiple

With the big One-Oh on it''s way, I''m thinking we should perhaps start to work on the documentation some more. The RDoc format is perfectly fine, and does its job beautifully, but I think it doesn''t quite reflect the whizbang value that rails has, especially for newcomers. As one who has looked at the api docs almost daily for several months, I feel quite comfortable

I know that the prototype library was paired with Rails but I''m curious if anyone has used the ajax part (of the libraries) with java servlets? If so could you please point me to some examples or documentation. Cheers, Marty
