Charles Oliver Nutter (AKA “one of the JRuby guys” if you listen to the JavaPosse podcast) put up a post that has me salivating about the deployment of Rails apps on Java app servers that will be a part of our inevitable future.

Currently, my biggest gripe about Rails is deployment. To put it bluntly, Lighttpd is unstable, and Mongrel has a few weird quirks, FastCGI is dated, buggy and well, not very fast.

So at any rate, the very idea of deploying a Rails app on a “real” application server is very cool.
