My good friend Bob McW (Codehaus.org founder, who actually started Drools waaay back, and who is responsible for the name "Drools), is now back working in JBoss/Red Hat in Research and Prototyping.
He is working on making Rails deployable "natively" (in place rails apps, using all the usual rails infrastructure and deployment stuff) to finely tuned JBoss AS (5). As a bonus he is making clustering easy, and demoing the whole lot on "The Cloud".
It was some time ago that I noodled with getting Rails to run on JBoss on Fedora, but its nice to see bob taking this very seriously.
