I GOT the same problem. It must be some sort of file access security feature that is enabled for JBoss, but not used by Tomcat.
1) To confirm the problem, I wanted to do a simple test with the RubyGems that come packaged in the jruby-complete-1.5.2.jar file. I listed them with the following command to get the output show below. I could have packaged additional RubyGems in a separate JAR file, but I wanted to make the test as simple as possible.
$ java -jar jruby-complete-1.5.2.jar -S gem list
* LOCAL GEMS *
columnize (0.3.1)
rake (0.8.7)
rspec (1.3.0)
ruby-debug (0.10.3)
ruby-debug-base (0.10.3.2)
sources (0.0.1)
2) Since “rake” was one of the prepackaged RubyGems according to the output above, I wrote the simplest script that required it.
----- begin simple script -------------
require 'rubygems'
require 'rake'
puts 'Success! RubyGem "rake" was loaded successfully.'
------ end simple script ---------------
3) If I create a simple WAR file, and deploy it on Tomcat, I can the script running successfully.
// log output excerpt
Success! RubyGem "rake" was loaded successfully.
[editor-persistence] WARN [http-8080-3] PhaseInterceptorChm
4) If I try to deploy the same exact WAR on JBoss, I get the exception below stating that the RubyGem cannot be found.

Does anyone know why the RubyGem mechanism for JRuby does NOT work on JBoss? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
