I’m not linux advanced user and I get that error when following instructions from article.

marek@marek-desktop:~$ jruby -S merb help

marek@marek-desktop:~$ jruby -S rails hello_app
:1: /usr/bin/rails:4: , unexpected ‘=’ (SyntaxError)

marek@marek-desktop:~$ which gem

while you might end up needing some of what you discovered when you actually deploy, but +1 using glassfish v3 gem for development … you just type glassfish from the base directory of the rack app and well, that’s it …

Ok, thanks!

Feel free to give your GlassFish related feedback at users@glassfish.dev.java.net or JRuby feedback at user@jruby.codehaus.org. Or post a comment on my blog

We don’t have any real plans yet, but we’re considering moving Defensio to JRuby for the real threads. Datamapper is a show stopper for us right now though. So this is still just a big experiment. Still good to play with technology and know what your options are imo!

Thanks, feel free to use it in any manner!

How do you plan to use GlassFish and Merb together ?

Arun,

That’s some pretty nifty stuff that you have there, thanks!

Thanks for the wonderful blog entry!

Alternatively Merb applications can run using the GlassFish Gem as described at:
