I spent around a day to to get the three to work together(JRuby, Warble & Tomcat). The biggest problem I encountered was getting rails to work with JRuby. I found out the hard way that you need to install openssl gem before you install any other gem. One other key thing is if you plan on getting the database to work with ActiveRecord was in database.yml you need to use host: 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost.

You can use warble to build the war file and then drop this war file into tomcat and it works like a charm. Hope to get some more work done this weekend

I have started an opensource project called solrvision. This will be an admin tool which sits on top of solr index server providing most of the reporting capabilities and business user query running capabilities. I have started developing this in Ruby on rails and plan to utilize mysql to persist data. Hopefully I can spend some time to deliver this pretty soon.

If you wish to contribute to this project send me a note and I will send you more details.

It was almost a year ago when I started learning and using Ruby. I always feel that the thing that really differntiates between developers is in the knowledge of knowing some scripting language. I personally have worked on Python, Bash & Ruby scripting but I never had an opportunity of using these scripts on a day to day basis. I really like the way ruby works its simple yet powerful. I have been working on more ruby stuff recently with my new team. Hopefully I can find more uses cases to utilize the rails app too.

I have one of my websites running on rails http://semaphoresolutionsinc.com which I think is pretty neat. IDEA 7 has cool integration with ruby which happens to be my IDE of choice for other development. Too bad it is a licensed version but I guess its worth every penny

If you wish to learn ruby you can use this http://tryruby.hobix.com/ to run ruby commands on the browser without installing anything on your machine
