JRuby 1.0.2 was released last week.
A total of 99 issues were fixed but I’m particularly excited about JRUBY-1347, JRUBY-1350, JRUBY-1401 and JRUBY-1410. These are some issues that I faced (1347 here, 1350 here, 1401 here, 1410 here) on my primary development machine – Windows.
Here is the status report:
-
On Windows only, the latest Rails gem (1.2.5) is now working with stable release of JRuby (1.0.2 as of today).
-
On Windows only, GlassFish v3 gem does not work with JRuby 1.0.2 but works with the JRuby trunk (JRUBY-1549). The gem works correctly on Solaris and Mac.
-
JRuby 1.0.2 bundles will be available on GlassFish Update Center soon.
Now the details.
Here is the command sequence for creating and hosting a trivial Hello World on WEBrick:
-

Add a controller

exists test/functional/
create app/controllers/say_controller.rb
create test/functional/say_controller_test.rb
create app/helpers/say_helper.rb
create app/views/say/hello.rhtml -
Edit Controller
C:\workarea\samples\rails\hello>vim app\controllers\say_controller.rb
Add
@hello_string = "Hello from 1.0.2"in hello helper. The updated file looks like:class SayController < ApplicationControllerdef hello
@hello_string = "Hello from 1.0.2"
end
end -
Edit View
C:\workarea\samples\rails\hello>vim app\views\say\hello.rhtml
and add
<%= @hello_string %>as the last line. The updated file looks like:<h1>Say#hello</h1>
<p>Find me in app/views/say/hello.rhtml</p>
<%= @hello_string %> -

The GlassFish v3 Gem does not work with JRuby 1.0.2 (JRUBY-1549) on Windows. It works very well on Solaris and Mac. For Windows, you need to use the JRuby trunk (checkout and build):
After you’ve built the JRuby trunk, you can create a similar new application and run it on GlassFish v3 gem as:
-
C:\workspaces\jruby-trunk>bin\jruby -S gem install glassfish-gem-10.0-SNAPSHOT.gem
Successfully installed GlassFish, version 10.0.0 -

However the emphasis of this particular event was to empower the local community about GlassFish so that they can help us spread the word further. And that was served very well. Most of the speakers were local and thus the title – By the Community, For the Community.
