How to run Rails on JRuby

Im order to do it, you have to perform the following steps.


1. Install ruby interpreter into ${ruby.home} (e.g. c:\ruby-1.8.4-20).
You can download latest version for Windows from here:

http://rubyforge.org/frs/download.php/11926/ruby184-20.exe

Test it (check ruby version):

>ruby.exe -v


Ruby installation has packaging tool called gem. Test it's version:

>gem.bat -v



2. Install rails. You can do it in one command:

>gem.bat --no-rdoc --no-ri --include-dependencies install rails


If you are behind the proxy, download gems separately and then install them individually:

>gem.bat install --no-rdoc --no-ri activesupport-1.3.1.gem
>gem.bat install --no-rdoc --no-ri activerecord-1.14.4.gem
>gem.bat install --no-rdoc --no-ri actionpack-1.12.5.gem
>gem.bat install --no-rdoc --no-ri actionmailer-1.2.5.gem
>gem.bat install --no-rdoc --no-ri actionwebservice-1.1.6.gem
>gem.bat install --no-rdoc --no-ri RbYAML-0.1.0.gem
>gem.bat install --no-rdoc --no-ri rails-1.1.6.gem

All of these gem files could be downloaded from http://rubyforge.org site.

You can also update gem tool to the latest version:

>gem.bat install --no-rdoc --no-ri rubygems-update-0.9.0.gem

Test rails version:

>rails.bat -v



3. Install jruby library into ${jruby.home} folder (e.g. c:\jruby-0.9.1).
Prepare jruby.bat script file:

SET RUBY_HOME=c:\ruby-1.8.4-20
SET JRUBY_HOME=c:\jruby-0.9.1

SET CLASSPATH=%JRUBY_HOME%\lib\jruby.jar;%JRUBY_HOME%\lib\jvyaml.jar;%JRUBY_HOME%\lib\plaincharset.jar;%JRUBY_HOME%\lib\asm.jar

java -Djruby.home=%RUBY_HOME% -Djruby.shell="cmd.exe" -Djruby.script=jruby.bat -classpath %CLASSPATH% org.jruby.Main


The trick here is that we use native ruby libraries from ruby installation (not from jruby installation).

Now you can execute all commands, required for building/running Rails application.



4. Create new project (testrails). Keep in mind that the project will be created in the current directory:

>jruby.bat c:\ruby-1.8.4-20\bin\rails testrails


Newly generated project has already some commands inside, so we need to change the current directory:

>cd testrails



5. Modify testrails\config\database.yml to point to your database. By default, it's MySQL database.



6. Start the database. Create database for devepoment: testrails_development



7. Generate the model

>jruby.bat .\script\generate controller MyTest



8. Generate the controller

>jruby.bat .\script\generate controller MyTest



9. Start the WEBrick server

>start jruby.bat .\script\server



10. Test if server is started properly in the browser:

>http://localhost:3000/my_test

Now you should see your view.


Rails on JRuby is very slow. Let's wait for improvements from JRuby team.

You can order cheap Lamisil medication at low cost. http://www.heritageloftsofchamblee.com/ - lamisil terbinafine In pill form, Lamisil is used to treat onychomycosis of the toenail or fingernail due to the dermatophyte tinea unguium. Lamisil is not harmful to unborn children but it can pass through breast milk so nursing mothers should avoid using this medication. Purchase Lamisil.
