Please of please Joyent post more to the blog.

@Tim

You load-balance it like “normal”, it’s on a port on a private IP and you direct traffic that way.

No mongrel doesn’t apply, you could use the jruby/java port of it, but you’d use a java app server like glassfish instead.

@Tim: I haven’t looked closely at it, but from what Ben said about war file deployment on glassfish, I assume you could rely on a java appserver to do the load balancing for you. I’ve used JBoss in the past, and it was very rich in that department.

@Joyent: In a similar vein to JRuby is a language called Groovy. It’s a very impressive project, and a really great environment to code in. Is there any likelihood of it appearing on TxD’s servers? Have you looked at Groovy at all?

I assume someone would use this to (hopefully) help speedup the performance of Ruby.

How does someone load balances JRuby? Does mongrel still apply? I would think not, though I’m not sure.

Never mind … move along nothing to see here. I missed the jruby script/server. Everything is working fine and dandy

ok so I did this but when I do require ‘java’ in a controller I get: no such file to load — java.

what else am I missing here?? (I’m on an AC200 M)
