On Tuesday, Jan 31st I presented TorqueBox to the Atlanta JBoss User
Group in a talk titled, "When Two Worlds Collide: Java and Ruby
in the Enterprise". There was a good turnout with a few members of the
Atlanta Ruby User Group showing up as well.
In case you missed it, we have three ways you can consume the
presentation. The audio on the Ustream recording is a bit quiet so
turn your speakers all the way up or watch the screen capture instead.

What is TorqueBox?
TorqueBox is a Ruby application server built on JBoss AS7 and JRuby. In
addition to being one of the fastest Ruby servers around, it supports
Rack-based web frameworks, and provides simple Ruby interfaces to
standard JavaEE services, including scheduled jobs, caching, messaging,
and services.
What's special about 2.0.0?
This is the third beta for our 2.0.0 release, which is a major
upgrade over the 1.x you may already be familiar with. Notable
inclusions in 2.0.0 include:
JRuby 1.6.5.1 (with better Ruby 1.9 support)
JBoss AS7 (faster boot time, smaller memory footprint)
Multi-resource distributed XA transactions
WebSockets/STOMP
We'd love it if you give our beta3 release a whirl and report any
issues you find in JIRA. If all goes as planned, we should have our
first 2.0.0 candidate release out in a few weeks!
What's In Beta 3?
No-op gem
We admit it. Sometimes unit testing is difficult. While TorqueSpec is great
for integration tests, you don't always want or need the entire TorqueBox
stack. Introducing torquebox-no-op. Joe Kutner, a long-time TorqueBox
user has written this gem to help you out in those situations. It's now
maintained in the TorqueBox source. Look for a post from Joe on these pages
soon.
HornetQ updated to 2.2.10
This release brings with it an updated HornetQ, fixing a small memory
leak for each published message and issues with large messages in a
cluster.
Configuration validation
One of the things that we wanted to add to TorqueBox is automatic validation for
your app's configuration. So, we now validate configuration at deploy time according to
our schema. If it doesn't pass, we'll fail fast and stop the deployment with an
appropriate error, which should greatly reduce confusing errors related to erroneous
configuration.
