Hello, all. I released AjpRails 0.1.0. AjpRails is a script for running Ruby on Rails. Rails this script runs uses AJP13(Apache JServ Protocol 1.3) instead of CGI or FastCGI, to cooperate with your HTTPd. Its RubyForge project is: [http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-ajp/](http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-ajp/) Project home page is: [http://ruby-ajp.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl](http://ruby-ajp.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl) Now, AjpRails is slower and much more unstable than dispatcher.fcgi or SCGI Rails Runner. But these weak points will be improved gradually. Thanks. – Yugui removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid > **[IDM --I divide me](http://idm.s9.xrea.com)** > > àlTCgÁĂà́B«¯ꐫáQ¾Ƃ©ALXg³¾Ƃ©Aw¾Ƃ©A₨¢¬à¾Ƃ©AǗlɂƂÁĐg߂Ȃà̂ðW߂Ă݂܂µ½B ---

Very interesting! So, would the idea be that one could use mod\_jk (or similar) to talk to a ruby process through a socket? What’s the motivation for this project? ---

i am curious about this as well. Does this work with mod\_jk ? Any performance numbers on this way vs FCGI ? ---

Yes, you can use mod\_jk on the HTTPd-side. - The load balancing of mod\_jk is attractive. - mod\_jk is familiar to Java programmers and even their pointy-haired bosses. So I think it is worth trying to implement AJP13 in Ruby. I started implementing it just for fun. But now, I think Ruby’s AJP implementation can save some programmers from the pointy-haired. ---
