The setup is simple (see the web site for step-by-step instruction), 
basically: Java JDK, Tomcat, JRuby, and TudbcJRubyServlet. After that 
you don't even need to know anything about Java or Tomcat. You just need 
to know Ruby (note: JRuby is a pure Ruby implementation). You can look 
at the live demos, and they are all pure Ruby codes.

Best of all, it is much faster (sometimes many times faster, see 
http://www.tudbc.org/jrubywebapp for comparisons) and more realiable.

Later on, if you like the Java EE environment, there is also Quercus 
which is a Java port of PHP.
