Hello, I just started playing with RubyOnRails. It is indeed fascinating! I have a question about using rails models to connect to backend Java (i.e. EJBs) instead of database. Any pointers will be appreciated. Thanks and Regards, Khaled -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

You should take a look at http://arton.no-ip.info/collabo/backyard/?RubyJavaBridge. It works like a charm (under modern linuxes), but for some mysterious reason it refuses to work on older, redhat 7.2, linuxes. In windows you have to hack it a little to get rid of the automagic iconv that is going it. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
