[ruby-core:23152] JRuby on Rails on Google App Engine

Hi friends,

As you might have heard, Google has released support for Java on App Engine.

I've been part of a preview, and know that JRuby, Ruby on Rails and Merb works very well on it.

More information here:

Cheers

Ramaze and Sinatra work as well.

(I need to write up some instructions for Ramaze because you need a patch to work around the GAE restriction on threads.)

Cool, so it sounds like Rails, Merb, Sinatra, Ramaze, and Tom Enebo's "Ruvlets" have all been successfully deployed.

There's a project in progress to make GAE deployment as simple as possible...stay tuned!

Very good stuff going on.

And if anyone doubts the power of IRC, I got amazing help from folks on #jruby and #ramaze on freenode while getting Ramaze running on GAE.

It's a 24-hour hackfest.
