I''m writing a web GUI for a commercial product that only allows me to communicate through a Java API which seems to work just great under JRuby. When the user logs on to the web page the authentication is done like this: sdssession = com.hp.ov.webapi.Session.openSession("127.0.0.1", login, pass) and after that I can do things like sdsession.getCurrentAccount() etc to get data from the service. It works great. The problem is that I have no idea how to keep that session object alive while the user is logged on the web page, it doesn''t seem like a good idea if the system has to authenticate again on every page load. The second option I came up with was to use BackgroundRB ( http://backgroundrb.rubyforge.org/ ) but it doesn''t work in JRuby because some of the stuff it does with processes (fork, pipe etc) are not yet implemented. Any ideas? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
