Yes, working for several years on Web develoment, I was an afficionados, 2 or 3 years ago, of the fantastic ROR !
- JRuby 1.5.2 (or zip package)
- A Tomcat 6 Server
- A MySQL 5.5.x Server for data things
But, for the lasts years, i was full fitted to JavaEE platform due to international project for a Big Customer manufacturing wheels (a french one) :)
So, no spare time to test things.
But, now, I want to go further in Rails to try and deploy these futuristic framework in a real industrial world : Java server.

So, I need the following things:
- Ruby 1.8.7 (or installer version) + rubygems 1.3.7
- RubyOnRails 2.3.4 (gem package)
- some plugins as ACL, Active Scaffold, Acts_as_Resource
And some good tutorials to follow the right installation instructions:

Ok.
Now we have all resources and source of knowledge needed. Ready to start ?
Next Post ! :)
