T...Scott: That's exactly what I'm thinking. There's not all that much C code, and of course most of the networking stuff should already be built into JRuby (though bits and pieces of that still need some work too). It shouldn't be terribly difficult to get Mongrel working at a basic level given projects like Jaminid, Jetty, Simple, and others that already provide some of the necessary utilities.<br><br>Jaminid looks promising, as does Mongrel. I think it's valid to want to support both Java and Ruby servers in JRuby, since we would love for JRuby to be usable as a general-purpose runtime.Charles Oliver Nutterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06400331959739924670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704664917418794835.post-70452565653622884012006-06-15T14:10:00.000-07:002006-06-15T14:10:00.000-07:00Zed: I figured the numbers were small, but that...Zed: I figured the numbers were small, but that's impressively small.<br><br>I agree that Simple would be, well, simpler, and I think that a Simple-based web-frontend for JRuby/Rails/Camping would be extremely nice to have. I think is should be done, and I'm sure as Rails becomes more and more usable under JRuby, someone will do it.<br><br>My intent with the Mongrel angle is to potentially give non-Java-aware Rubyists a way to download JRuby, run "gem install mongrel" and be on their way. This isn't to say that we couldn't package things like Simple into jars, but there's getting to be a volume of work based on doing things "the Ruby way". If we can keep the barriers to entry low, we'll get more Ruby folks interested in trying JRuby out.<br><br>So I guess in summary, all roads lead to good things...having many choices is a good thing.Charles Oliver Nutterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06400331959739924670noreply@blogger.com
