Problems Deploying with RubyGems on JBOSS; works on Tomcat

jjfrank · September 11, 2010, 6:57am

I have a WAR file that uses jruby-complete.1.5.2.jar to provide JRuby as
a ScriptEngine. My JRuby script relies on some Ruby gems that I packaged
in a jar file. This works fine when I run the WAR file under Tomcat, but
it does NOT work when I use JBoss 5.1.0.

To trouble shoot, I even tried running a simple script that required the
“rake” rubygem that comes packaged in the jruby-complete-1.5.2.jar file.
Even this does NOT work under JBoss. It seems that no rubygems can be
found when running under JBoss. There must be some setting I’m not
getting correct for JBoss. Should I set the Ruby loadpath to some
classpath in my WAR? Some one must have done this for JBoss. It works
fine with stand alone Tomcat, so there must be something I’m not doing
for JBoss and its embedded Tomcat server.

Sorry for the newbie question, but your help would be truly appreciated.
To work around this, I customized the jrub-complete-1.5.2.jar file and
placed the RubyGems into the JRuby loadpath of the jar file (i.e.
classpath:$/META-INF/jruby.home/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8). That works on
JBoss, but I would rather NOT do this and have the RubyGems mechanism
work on both stand alone Tomcat and JBoss. Thanks for your help.

what version of jruby-rack are you using?

Are you getting errors in the JBoss log?

I had a similar problem with a pre 1.0 version of jruby rack and it
got fixed in that.

if you are using the latest jruby-rack… there is a property you can
set in your web.xml file that turns on some more verbose logging that
might help pinpoint the problem (jruby.rack.debug.load=true)

that should get some more information.

I GOT the same problem. It must be some sort of file access security
feature that is enabled for JBoss, but not used by Tomcat.

To confirm the problem, I wanted to do a simple test with the
RubyGems that come packaged in the jruby-complete-1.5.2.jar file. I
listed them with the following command to get the output show below. I
could have packaged additional RubyGems in a separate JAR file, but I
wanted to make the test as simple as possible.

$ java -jar jruby-complete-1.5.2.jar -S gem list

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

columnize (0.3.1)
rake (0.8.7)
rspec (1.3.0)
ruby-debug (0.10.3)
ruby-debug-base (0.10.3.2)
sources (0.0.1)

Since â€œrakeâ€ was one of the prepackaged RubyGems according to the
output above, I wrote the simplest script that required it.

----- begin simple script -------------

require ‘rubygems’
require ‘rake’

puts ‘Success! RubyGem “rake” was loaded successfully.’

------ end simple script ---------------

If I create a simple WAR file, and deploy it on Tomcat, I can the
script running successfully.

// log output excerpt

Success! RubyGem “rake” was loaded successfully.
[editor-persistence] WARN [http-8080-3] PhaseInterceptorChm

If I try to deploy the same exact WAR on JBoss, I get the exception
below stating that the RubyGem cannot be found.

Does anyone know why the RubyGem mechanism for JRuby does NOT work on
JBoss? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had a similar problem with a pre 1.0 version of jruby rack and it

if you are using the latest jruby-rack… there is a property you can
set in your web.xml file that turns on some more verbose logging that
might help pinpoint the problem (jruby.rack.debug.load=true)

that should get some more information.
