title: Any background process gems that work with JRuby deployed on Windows?
body: <p>Does anyone know a working background job solution for JRuby deployed on a windows server? (via warbler and tomcat)</p>
  
  <p>I'm looking for a way to schedule background jobs from my Rails 3.2 app, so that the web app can respond immediately rather than hang up while a long running job runs.</p>
  
  <p>I tried the delayed_job gem, except it doesn't seem to work with JRuby and Windows. (If I'm wrong, please enlighten me) Resque depends on redis which evidently doesn't support Windows. I don't have experience with Beanstalkd or Starling, but the documentation for them doesn't mention windows.</p>
  
  <p>I'ld love to dump windows, believe me, but the background job is a windows executable that did not come with source. And I need to use JRuby to be able to call some Java code too.</p>
