I need to start a copy of a Rails app from within Java. I would favor a lightweight HTTP server, as our installations will have a very small userbase (1-10, 10 being a huge installation).
My design I am aiming for is for a single process, with the web interface written in Rails – running on JRuby in a background thread of the main server written in Java.
Any tips on starting up Rails in this way? I very much don’t want a separate Tomcat server running.
Thanks!
You could just create war files for every installation (google for “warbler”) and serve them through one tomcat, or use jetty for each installation (which can be a little more lightweight than tomcat, depending on your configuration).
As far as I know, you can even run script/server via jruby (which starts webrick through jruby).
