Rails and JRuby FAQs
Response: Place them in the domain/lib directory, or in glassfish/lib. If those bundles are OSGi bundles, you should place them in the glassfish/modules directory. If you want to package your own set of jar files with the Rails application, instead of copying thejars in the glassfish/lib or glassfish/modules directory, you might want to use Warbler. The Warbler gem lets you package your own jars and creates a WAR file from your Rails applications.

What Options Are Available for Running JRuby With Enterprise Server?
JRuby applications can be deployed natively, without the use of the servlet container. Enterprise Server v3 Prelude can run JRuby applications directly on top of the servlet container. Warbler can also be used to deploy JRuby applications to the servlet container.
