That’s awesome! Please keep us posted with your experience using JRuby, I’m very interested to see how it works hosting a production site.

Nick, I too highly expect to see your writeup about how to setup. I am still using JRuby as CGI...

Now if only I could find a situation painful enough to force up to re-skin this blog beyond the ancient Typo azure theme...

I just went through a blog redesign... If you’re OK with minimalism, it can be surprisingly easy. I ended up with a single page of CSS (plus extra styles for syntax-highlighting of snippets) http://technomancy.us/style.css.

I was wondering if you’d have any comments about the recent ruby vulnerabilities. It definitely could be used as another selling point for JRuby!

I second that... If you do a write up, send me an email so I can cover it on the Podcast.

Hey. I would very much appreciate a writeup on how you did your setup. How you deploy new versions, etc. :)

Well, the recent Ruby 1.8.6 issues, including an apparent memory leak problem that was plaguing my blog’s mongrel caused me to evaluate what should have been obvious long ago. That I should put my money where my mouth is and upgrade to JRuby on Glassfish using JRuby-Rack and Warbler.

And so it’s done.

I’m now running the blog in Glassfish V2 with JRuby 1.1.1 and JRuby-Rack 0.9 (facilitated by Warbler 0.9.9), along with activerecord-jdbc-adapter 0.8.2. Here’s to dog-fooding!
