I’m trying to run a rails 3 app on a windows server using jruby and glassfish gem. I can run the app fine using “rails s”. Here’s my probelm:

C:\webapp\mcs>jruby -S glassfish

I’m sure it’s a simple environment setup thing, any suggestions? Much appreciated.

    I got this working by simply backing out to jruby-1.5.5. I intend to do a blog post on how I got this all running, because it was a bit of a nightmare, but it does appear to be holding together at the moment. my setup is:

    windows server 2003 R2, rails 3.0.3, jruby 1.5.5, glassfish gem 1.0.2

    NOTE: I think this fix solves the problem in jruby-1.5.6 but not yet in the compiled distro, so I just decided to back out:
