JRuby on a huge project

Hi,

I am working on a new project built on websphere portal. I need to be able to have about 2 million concurrent users. If I use JRuby, will it work? Can JRuby work well on websphere portal? Can JRuby work with porltets?

Please help...

Best of luck with hijacking entire internet :wink:

And you're likely to get a better answer in jruby mailing list.

Yes, it will work. But there have not been many examples of JRuby on Rails sites with 2M concurrent users. It will be interesting to see.

CanJRubywork well on websphere portal?

I have not done it myself, but there are others running on WebSphere. In general, any web app container should work about the same.

CanJRubywork with porltets?

I'm not familiar enough with the portlet spec to know for sure, but it should work at least as well as a typical Java web application, no?

All good questions for the JRuby mailing list.

Now there is JRuby support for portlet development in Liferay Portal. There is an example code, although I haven't found any documentation on that. But I don't think you can use Ruby on Rails to develop portlets. Just plain ruby.
