This is ActiveSupport::Cache::JbossCacheStore, an ActiveSupport::Cache::Store implementation which uses JBoss Cache available with JBoss Application Servers like TorqueBox (formerly known as JBoss-Rails).
It has been tested with Ruby on Rails 2.3.4 and TorqueBox 1.0.0.Beta15 which bundles JRuby 1.3.1 with JBoss AS 5.1.0.GA and JBossCache 'Malagueta' 3.2.0.GA.
JBoss Cache is usually shipped with every binary JBoss AS distribution and
configured in the all-configuration.
The JBoss Cache library is party of JBoss AS and hence all required files should be installed and configured with that.
This package can be installed like any regular Rails plug-in:
script/plugin install git://github.com/GertThiel/activesupport-jbosscache.git
Either add a line to your config/environment.rb file like
config.cache_store = :jboss_cache_store
or create a separate initializer (e.g. config/initializers/cache.rb) with
ActionController::Base.cache_store = :jboss_cache_store
The CompressedJbossCacheStore uses ActiveSupport::Gzip to compress the cached data. Besides that it behaves exactly as the JbossCacheStore.
If you want to use this store either add a line to your config/environment.rb file like
config.cache_store = :compressed_jboss_cache_store
or create a separate initializer (e.g. config/initializers/cache.rb) with
ActionController::Base.cache_store = :compressed_jboss_cache_store
ActiveSupport::Cache::JbossCacheStore comes with a spec. You need RSpec to run the tests. On the other hand, you don't need the application server.
A binary JRuby distribution with the activesupport gem installed is enough.
jruby -S spec spec/jboss_cache_store_spec.rb
jruby -S spec spec/compressed_jboss_cache_store_spec.rb
The JBoss Cache library is included in this distribution.
