Background: I'm developing a Ruby web application, and have decided to switch to JRuby for several reasons that I'm not going to mention here. I have experience with servers such as Apache and Lighttpd, but I have no experience with Java or deploying Java-based web applications.
What would be the best setup for a JRuby web application in terms of server software? (And whatever else I might need.) What server choices do I have? What's different between setting up a Java-based server and, say, Apache? In other words, how do I get started?
Thanks for helping out a newbie. 🙂
PS: I don't know if it makes a difference since Java is cross-platform, but my development machine runs Vista, so it would be great if I could also use the same setup on Windows for development.
