I'm happy to announce after quite a lag, there's a new version of JBoss-Rails available with lots of new features. Just in time for playing with it over the weekend!
This release sees a solidification of the Job Scheduling component, along with the addition of the Ruby SOAP Endpoints component. The SOAP stuff also brings along support for cyrptographic keystores and XML-to-Ruby-to-XML databinding.
Additionally, we've upgraded the version of JRuby (1.2RC1 now) and removed a dependency on JRuby-Rack.
New and updated documentation now exists.
We've also created a "My first Rails App(tm)" walk-through to get you started on that weekend project of doing a mash-up between your sprinkler-system and Twitter.
All of the artifacts are available from our newly-minted Maven repository.
This includes:
- The complete binary distribution (~30mb)
- The standalone JBoss-Rails deployer jar (~30mb, drag'n'drop, you're done)
- The jboss-rails-support component (~7kb) for your Rails app (we also have instructions for installing this via git.)
As always, we're available to chat on FreeNode, on the #jboss-rails channel.
And you can join the jboss-rails@ mailing list by sending an email to
The archives are available through MarkMail.
If you have bugs or feature-requests, drop them on the JBoss-Rails Lighthouse instance.
