Hi All, needed some direction for a newbie to RoR. I have done work in Java, .net and perl, and really prefer perl and java over .net, now we are we are looking to start building a financial trading application, most of the team wants to go with .net while I am trying to build the case with Ruby. Some of our classes have been developed in delphi7. Would I be able to use RoR on the front end of this application? and pass the information back to say a soap-enabled web services server... so the idea is: ruby on the front --> web services --> deplhi classes --> DB or should I just do this: RoR --> Db also, is RoR n-tiered? from what i have read so far, it is much like PHP..ie 2 tiered unless we do some extra work? thanks all, appreciate the help!

RoR is very simple to set up as n-tiered... it has things built in out of the box for doing so, and for the few things that can''t be done easily with out of the box Rails, there are plugins for. And, yes, it is extremely simple to do what you said with RoR -> web service -> Delphi -> DB. A lot of people at larger companies who can''t afford to go RoR wholeheartedly to begin with do it via this step... set up web service front ends to all of your current code, and put an RoR face on it... then, as your other developers become more and more familiary with RoR, and as you begin to see the obvious advantages of using it, you can refactor your code to become more of a Ror -> DB situation.

ActiveRecord is the data access layer. The model classes you created are the business objects, and the controllers and views are the interface (with some cross over into the business objects). -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
