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