+1. Second the comment that if you only have 48 hours then I would recommend having a look at doing something with JRuby. Torquebox.org is a modified version of the JBoss Application server built for JRuby I believe.

Another +1 with a slight addition.

Torquebox (2.x) is JBoss AS7 with extra ruby inter-op code layered on top of it. The base JBoss is not modified significantly.

You can happily run Java apps on Torquebox alongside JRuby apps (and clojure apps if you want with the immutant project)

There are reports from people on the mailing list of using JRuby and Torquebox for the back-end data collection services used by AAA Games which process a he-uge number of requests per month.
