JBoss-Rails 1.0.0.Beta4 in time for the weekend

06 March 2009

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

jboss-rails-subscribe@oddthesis.org

The archives are available through MarkMail.

If you have bugs or feature-requests, drop them on the JBoss-Rails Lighthouse instance.
