Using the full Glassfish applicaiton server to host many Rails applications at the same time is overkill and a waste of resources. Someone trying to get many applications to run at the same time with just one server are really better served using a lightweight solution like Jetty or maybe even Tomcat (but I woudn't recommend using the later).
Look that we're not talking about hosting just one application (which was Janna's problem at the beginning and to which I said that using the Glassfish gem would do it nicely) but hosting many applications at the same time. - Maurício Linhares http://codeshooter.wordpress.com/ | http://twitter.com/mauriciojr On Mon, Jun 8, 2009 at 3:24 PM, Vivek Pandey<[email protected]> wrote: > Huh!
