This is incredibly cool. My vision for JRuby on Rails is that you can generate the basic scaffolding, then pack it up inside a WAR-file and deploy it in Tomcat, and everything will work. Obviously this requires a strategy with a Servlet and some standard for where Rails-code should go inside the WAR-file.
Talking of which, have anyone checked out the Scripting for the Java Platform (JSR 223) implementation, and possible strategies for JRuby inside of this?
