In my previous blog I had informed you all of the release of GlassFish v3 gem v0.1.1. Today I am announcing the release of GlassFish V3 gem 0.1.2.

Issues addressed in v0.1.2 :

The last released gem (v0.1.1) contained that bugs that were reported by users on the GlassFish Issue tracker and RubyForge Tracker. This release deals with those bugs.

• Scaffold created using Rails 2.0.2 adding duplicate entries with v3 gem 0.1.1.
• After the execution of an Ajax request, all subsequent requests are also treated as Ajax requests.
• When using observe_field for AJAX capabilities, it only works once and any attempt afterwards returns the first selected dataset.
These 3 bugs followed the same pattern and was a tricky one to isolate and solve for me. Would like to thank Thomas Enebo of the JRuby core team for his help in isolating the root cause of these issues.

Another bug that has been fixed as part of this gem release is - Blank page returned if there are no Rails instances available. From this release on the requests would not be rejected if there are no rails instances available to satisfy them.
Based on comments from Thomas Enebo, have changed the way we were processing requests as part of the gem. In the previous releases of the gem, for each request we were causing the request to be parsed before actually executing it. This obviously was increasing the time taken for each request. Have fixed this as part of this release.

From this release of the gem, you would be able to checkout and build the gem. This was a request that many users had made and this is the reason why the release of the gem was delayed by a couple of weeks. I will publish a blog shortly detailing information on how to build the gem from the GlassFish V3 source.

Continue to use Glassfish Issue Tracker, JRuby JIRA and RubyForge to post issues/comments about the gem.


Installation:

If you have installed the previous version of the gem please uninstall the gem using the command

    jruby -S gem uninstall GlassFish

Install the new version of the gem using the command :

    jruby -S gem install glassfish


Output from executing the "ab" command using the old v0.1.1 and the new v0.1.2 glassfish :
I have used "ab" on my Macbook pro, to compare the performance between then 2 latest versions of the gem - v0.1.1 and v0.1.2. These tests were done using the release JRuby 1.1RC2 bits with Rails 2.0.2. The sample that I have used is a very simple HelloWorld, so it is no reflective of the typical user application. Would be great to hear back from users about the performance that you are seeing with your application.
