The same app is running fine on Tomcat. Does anybody have faced similar
error? Any advise is appreciated.

This is the classic useless error that jruby-rack still sometimes
throws. Is this all the information you have? Does the application
work ok at command line (using mongrel or glassfish gem or something)?

I think is is a gem dependency error of Rails 2.3.5.

Do you have Rack 1.0.1?

Try jruby -S gem install rack

Application is running fine at command line using mongrel/webrick and
works fine on tomcat. Its giving the error mentioned only when using
weblogic.

Hi,

I remember similar error discussed on IRC not so long ago, that time
with Tomcat, and it was permisisons related.

Take a look:
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/160184#773962

There might be similar problem with WebLogic.

If it turns out that this is a permissions problem, please let us
know so that we could improve things on JRuby side and test the fix
with you :slight_smile:

Thanks,
–Vladimir

Thats pretty much the same problem we have here with jetty and tomcat in
our
installation. I was able to reproduce it with a minimal installation
(described
in my post a weeek ago):
Subject: Rails 2.3.5, tomcat Ok, jetty strange error
Rails 2.3.5, tomcat Ok, jetty strange error - JRuby - Ruby-Forum

Saty, try the my minimal working example:
GitHub - retoo/phonebook_jror_example: Example JRoR Application

Does it work in weblogic? or tomcat? What error does it produce?

Cheers,

Hi Reto, folks,

If there is a simple reproducible test case with minimal application,
please don’t hesitate file bugs against JRuby, with the exact
specified steps to reproduce. Once the problem is clear and
reproducible, it will be much easier/faster to fix and verify.

Thanks,
–Vladimir

Ah, I see the bug already filed for this issue, good :slight_smile:

I built new jruby.jar file based off the edge version from github.com,
switched it with the JRuby1.4.0 install, but still getting the same
error. I think the error/bug relates to JRuby-Rack rather than JRuby
itself. We have the project requirement that the rails app has to be run
on Weblogic Server due to the company policy. Any help is appreciated.

Is rack 1.0.x in vendor/gems? And what jar files do you have in lib/ ?
How are you creating the WAR file?

Where can I get jruby-rack-0.9.6, all I see is that 0.9.5 is the latest
version at github.com

Thanks in advance.

And if you have rack inside the war and it is still broken,
try to deploy the war unzipped into weblogic,
I had a similar issue with JBoss and Liferay and it only works when the
war is unzipped.
Otherwise the jruby.home get set to a path where it can’t find rack, and
hence the error at hand.

Have you filed a bug for this? You may want to stop by #jruby on IRC
(maybe after the holidays) and we can try to walk you through it.

Hi Tony,

My understanding is that JRuby/Rack is being confused on some app
servers when you deploy WAR into such servers unexpanded, there is
some black magic happens when JRuby tries to load resources from the
JAR/WAR files directly and it breaks in some cases due to custom
classloader schemes some app servers do.

The best suggestion so far is to try to deploy the app expanded, not in
a WAR.

See also http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-3935

In your example, is the following JAR really exist?
C:/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/my_domain/servers/AdminServer/tmp/_WL_user/bookstore/v4z4qq/war/WEB-INF/lib/jruby-rack-0.9.5.jar

Thanks,
–Vladimir

Yes, that’s the case. My comments about the situation can be found here:
http://bit.ly/5TvYp3

I made an attempt to allow JRuby to use “classpath:/foo/bar” scheme to
load resources, so that, for example, we could work with JBoss’ custom
vfszip:/ scheme (just loading from the classpath, having JRuby’s home
set to classpath:/META-INF/jruby.home), but there is a problem with
living purely on the classpath. For one, there is no glob support for
resources on classpath, and rubygems uses glob to find installed gems.
So, without rubygems changes, it won’t work with classpath:/ scheme,
unfortunately.

As a workaround (or, maybe, not only a workaround, but also a good
practice), indeed, one need to unpack the WARs, and then things should
work.

Thanks,
–Vladimir
