Vlad the Deployer and Glassfish

I'm a fan of Glassfish app server as it's multi-threaded and works wonderfully with JRuby. However, today I realized that Vlad didn't have a way to deploy using glassfish so I wrote and extension. Check it out here: http://github.com/abhiyerra/vlad/tree/master

rails script/runner

script/runner allows one to execute long running processes
by either running Ruby code or access the models directly.
For example, say you have some code like the following in your model code:
 

 
class NewsFeed << ActiveRecord::Base 
  def self.download_feeds 
    # TODO: The code to download the feeds and put them in the database 
  end 
end

 
Say you want to run download_feeds on the commandline, you can by
running the following on the shell.
script/runner NewsFeed.download_feeds
This is useful if you need to run something regularly. So you can put
this in a cron file to execute regularily, like downloading news.
