DESCRIPTION:

Aspen is a web server engine for JRuby. The design is very similar to Thin (http://code.macournoyer.com/thin/), except using Netty (http://www.jboss.org/netty) for high-speed concurrent sockets.

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

• truly concurrent socket model
• Rack interface support
• Not all features implemented yet, such as chunked data, different content encodings, etc.

SYNOPSIS:

  FIXME (code sample of usage)

REQUIREMENTS:

• Java >= 1.5
• JRuby >= 1.4
• Rack

INSTALL:

        # From Gemcutter / Rubyforge ...
        $ (sudo) jruby -S gem install aspen

INSTALL FROM SOURCE:

    # get source from Github
    $ git clone git://github.com/kevwil/aspen.git
    $ cd aspen

    # You must have JRuby set up, with the dependent gems installed.
    # see the Rakefile for the dev-time dependencies
    $ jgem install little-plugger loquacious rubyforge bones bones-git bones-extras rspec mocha rcov

    # You must have Ant (http://ant.apache.org) and Maven (http://maven.apache.org) set up.
    # *note* the Rakefile will call Maven in "offline mode".
    # If you get any errors about unresolved dependencies, do this:
    $ cd javalib
    $ mvn dependency:go-offline (or 'mvn package')

    # Now you can build and test Aspen
    $ jruby -S rake

    # Install the gem
    $ jruby -S rake gem:install
