Charlie describes, in 4 easy steps, how to deploy any Rails application on GlassFish:
The main steps are:
Step 1: The App Server
Step 2: Package your App
Step 3: Deploy your application
Step 4: Tweaking (Optional)
And it should only take 15 minutes on GlassFish v2!
The conclusion of the blog is:
Hopefully this walkthrough clears up some confusion around JRuby on Rails deployment to an app server. It’s really a simple process, despite the not-so-simple history surrounding Enterprise Application Servers, and GlassFish almost makes it fun 
The next version, GlassFish v3, allows Rails application to be deployed natively, i.e. no packaging is required. You create a Rails application and run it – just the way you are used to! Read all about it here.

Remember, manual MUST be simple and useful. If i know linux very well, i will not bother to read tons of document to use Solaris. Because most of work does not need.
