Presentations
JRuby in the Enterprise
Bring the power of Ruby and Rails to your enterprise! Interested in harnessing the power of Ruby on Rails but not sure how to incorporate it into your existing Java/J2EE/Spring word? In this session, we’ll talk about real-world experiences, lessons learned and best practices for developing a new Ruby on Rails using JRuby.
You’ll learn about how to set up a Rails application using JRuby and deploy it using the industry standard JBoss application server. We’ll use many of the familiar tools and technologies Java developers are used to, such as MySQL and Maven. Also covered will be using JNDI for database connectivity, integrating with custom and 3rd party Java libraries and the use of servlet filters. We'll even dive in to how you can use Liquibase instead of ActiveRecord for database migrations.
Drawing on a real-world Rails/JRuby/JBoss deployment for a major SaaS company, we’ll discuss practical strategies for fitting your new application into existing operational procedures and talk about ways to overcome organizational challenges regarding adoption.
