Provide instructions for deploying as a WAR file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We are currently deploying our Ruby on Rails application across four Web
Servers as a WAR file on JBoss Application Server. This greatly simplifies
deployment and allows the application to scale across hundreds of threads
per server.

These applications are being authenticated using rubycas-server.

Is there any way that we can also deploy rubycas-server as a WAR file?

I can only find instructions on how to create a WAR file for Ruby On Rails,
does it also exist for the Camping Framework?

That's a good question... I have yet to try JRuby at all, so I have no idea how 
you'd
go about doing this (or whether it's possible). However, there's nothing 
particularly
special about Camping or RubyCAS-Server -- they're just Ruby programs like any 
other,
so theoretically it should work with JRuby. The one tricky part would have to 
do with
the web server. I'm not sure how this works for Rails -- whether your Java app 
server
handles the HTTP server part of it, or if it just forwards requests through to 
the
Ruby HTTP server....

You might want to post your question on the RubyCAS-Server mailing list, as 
it's more
likely to be seen there by someone who has expertise in this. I should say 
though
that if you've already got a working Java app infrastructure, why not just use 
the
JA-SIG CAS server, which is already distributed for you as a WAR?

Preliminary testing shows that the server works under JRuby, although the LDAP
authenticator doesn't. We may need to use a native Java LDAP library to do this 
under
JRuby.
