I have had a hard time keeping track of the different deployment options for deployment of Rails applications on JRuby. I try following all of your blogs but I'm not sure what is the recommended setup. I'm familiar with mongrel from MRI, however, I'm not a Java guy. When it comes down to Tomcat, GlassFish, etc. what are my best (from performance to simplicity) options? What are the best options for packaging my applications for deployment to these application servers? I have seen mention of goldspike and warbler but I am not sure which I should be using. Like I said earlier, I'm not a Java guy but my interest has grown since seeing JRuby come to life. Here are some other questions from someone lacking Java experience/knowledge. 1. Specific areas that Java can handle that MRI currently has no solution for, libraries, interesting tricks, etc... 2. This has more to do with Java and less to do with JRuby, but what are some good resources for learning Java? 3. What about JRuby internals? There is http://eigenclass.org/hiki.rb?ruby+internals+guide for MRI. I'm sure something like this would be useful for educating people interested in contributing to JRuby. I have been watching the progress of JRuby over the past few months and I am extremely impressed. You guys are making amazing progress! Thanks!
