Rails and JRuby

[James Herdman]

Hello friends.

I'm investigating building a Rails stack with JRuby as the interpreter. I'm a little confused by the choice of Tomcat and Glassfish. Which is being used most frequently for greenfield set ups? Also, for Glassfish, are people using Prelude, or version 2?

I also wouldn't mind some hints with respect to how Capistrano or Vlad fit into the equation.

Our current stack uses MRI/Phusion/Apache.

Thank you for your time,

James H

Either are decent choices. You should try both and see what fits your environment better. Tomcat is smaller, Glassfish is probably a little more performant, but you should test with your apps. In either case, you'll probably be using Warbler to create the war files to deploy to them, so you can create one war file and deploy the same file in both to play around.

There's also JRuby/Mongrel which is acceptable, and the Glassfish gem as well.

I find the glassfish gem to be the most performant of all -- and I don't need to war-up my app.

I proxy to the glassfish gem out of apache.

Capistrano is great, but not if you;re stuck with a Windows box

Waring up the app is not a big issue. We use tomcat here, but for deployment only. Development mode we just run JRuby/mongrel.

I particularly didn't go with glass fish - or any other app server for that matter - because we don't need any of the extra services they provide. e.g.: EJB container.

Ditto. I use glassfish3

I also have some mongrel cluster stuff, but glassfish is simpler and just
works.

How does the proxying to Glassfish work? Doesn't Glassfish have Grizzly for handling incoming requests quickly?

James,

I simply put the following into my httpd.conf: (I am runninf Apache 1.3.33...I think you must have it set up to be able to do VirtualHosting as well -- which is set up if you have installed, say InstantRailis and their examples):

<VirtualHost *>  
    ServerName gg.dyndns.org
    DocumentRoot C:/jruby/rails_apps/gg/public/
    ProxyPass / http://localhost:3000/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3000
</VirtualHost>

Then fire up the LATEST Glassfish gem on, say, port 3000:

C:\jruby\rails_apps\gg>jruby -S glassfish

Voila...blazing speed, can handle lots of traffic. Note that I am also cominging into apache from a dyndns name. So, whatever IP I have, I can go straight to execution on the glassfish gem and NO warring up! What could be easier deployment, or a faster execution? -Janna B

Wow, this is a great writeup. Maybe you (Ole) and you (Janna) could
add a page to the wiki or write up a blog post?

Specifically I'm talking about a writeup for getting GF gem + apache +
whatever else working well together. I'm not sure we have that article

I'll try to find some time. I've created an initial wiki page:
http://kenai.com/projects/jruby/pages/JRubyOnRailsWithGlassfishGem

TODO:
Notes in regards of Linux information. I currently only have a bunch
of Solaris servers, and no Linux servers. I'd also like to add a Nginx
config. I currently don't use it as frontend is usually hardware
based. However I used to, as I find it vastly superior to Apache
httpd, but there were no decent OpenSolaris package available atm.

Thank you,

I'm no expert (quite the opposite, in fact), but I think the general consensus
is that Apache is really, really fast at serving up static data (like images,
some html, etc.).  So much faster that intercepting those and proxying
everything else to Glassfish is faster overall.

If I'm wrong though, someone please dispel me of my heretical ideas!  =)

I'm getting close to deploying a legacy JRoR app on Glassfish gem
using an Apache httpd as proxy because it will allow me to

1) run multiple gf instances to evaluate memory settings in a
      production environment
2) deploy new code to only 1 of N instances for live testing
3) add instances as necessary
4) potentially serve some static (image) content directly
5) display a friendly "down for maintenance" message when the
      cluster is getting an update (db migration, etc.)

FWIW,

Thanks for adding this page, really useful and consolidates all the
information.

I blogged about using nginx front end at:

http://blogs.sun.com/arungupta/entry/totd_81_how_to_use

Feel free to use this information to add content to the wiki.

Thanks Hassan for listing the reasons, they are all valid.

I'll follow up separately with you on a story entry for using GlassFish
Gem in production :) There are several of them already described at:

Thanks,

Okay, so I'm working on this puppy a bit as of late and have decided to do the Apache/Glassfish gem combo for the time being.

I'm a little stuck. What I'm envisioning the Apache/Glassfish solution as a stop gap until I can deploy a full Glassfish-based stack. What I'm hoping to do is leverage the Apache instance I have running with mod_rails and have some requests proxy back to Glassfish.

Has any one else had any luck with such a solution? Right now, it seems like the requests that should be going back to my app are being ignored. Here's my VHOST file:

<VirtualHost *:80>

        DocumentRoot /var/apps/my_app/current/public

        ProxyPass /my_app http://localhost:9000

        ProxyPassReverse /my_app http://localhost:9000

        ProxyPass /my_app/images !

        ProxyPass /my_app/javascripts !

        ProxyPass /my_app/stylesheets !

        <Directory /var/apps/my_app/current/public>

          Options FollowSymLinks

          AllowOverride All

          Order allow,deny

          Allow from all

        </Directory>

      </VirtualHost>

Am I missing something?

I'm getting close to deploying a legacy JRoR app on Glassfish gem
using an Apache httpd as proxy because it will allow me to

1) run multiple gf instances to evaluate memory settings in a
     production environment
2) deploy new code to only 1 of N instances for live testing
3) add instances as necessary
4) potentially serve some static (image) content directly
5) display a friendly "down for maintenance" message when the

I just published a post yesterday with this topic but using my tomcat gem instead of glassfish, perhaps it can help you:
