Starling eaquivalent or jruby?

Ruby JRuby
1

Hi,

I wanted to install the starling gem with jruby:
jgem install starling-starling
but it complains that it is a native extension.

Any suggestion of an alternative usable with JRuby? I need a simple
queuing system like starling, not more.

Thanks in advance.

I’ve been using ActiveMQ with JMS under Glassfish for a while now and
I’ve
been very happy with it. You can even use Message Driven Beans to
process
new messages asynchronously, though I’ve yet to write a MDB in JRuby.

You can run a standalone ActiveMQ broker, or you can deploy the resource
adapter in Glassfish and have that funciton as a broker.

What do you need the queue for? I had looked at using the queue
available in
the Glassfish container as well as Nick S.'s work for message
passing,
but decided that it was too heavyweight and that a DB queue would
suffice
for the time being.

Starling should work in JRuby. I have a (really messy) implementation
where
the web servers use MRI and “Pack of Mongrels” to serve requests while
the
Starling queue runs on JRuby because we simply had too many connections
and
background jobs for MRI threading to handle. In a pure JRuby
implementation,
Starling will fire up another instance of Java, which is less than
ideal.

Thanks Martijn.

However I’m using jetty_rails for deployment (and reallly like the
solution), and I wonder if actimq is not a bit overkill for what I
need at this time.

Does that does JMS? Thought it was AMQP only
(though it does a Java binding).

I think I’ll go for the DB queue too for the time being.
