Introducing Warbler
Warbler is a gem that creates a web application archive (WAR) file from a Rails- or Rack-based application.
A WAR file is a special case of Java archive (JAR) file; both are really just zip files. But a WAR file is structured according to a standard that’s recognized by all Java web servers.
