Hello everyone, We have an existing application in core java. We want to know extend the application to be accessible over the Internet. We were thinking of using Ruby on Rails to develop the front end for the application. The Java Server and Ruby on Rails application will communicate via java APIs which transfer the object in format of Xmls. How is the application structure? Ruby on Rails based application > Java server > Database Questions: 1. Is it good to redevelop the whole application into ROR from scratch? or the approach suggested above is worth while using? 2. Any performance concerns? Please advise Thanks in advance
JRuby allows access to your Java methods and runs in the same JVM. Have a look at it and run your RoR application using JRuby. No need for IPC / XML. http://wiki.jruby.org/wiki/Calling_Java_from_JRuby On May 28, 7:52 am, Ritvvij <Ritvi...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hello everyone, > > We have an existing application in core java.

Have to second that with JRuby. Get the picture now how Struts is for people who don;t know Rails? JRuby, imho antiquates J2EE technologies. Keep your business objects as Java POJOs. Do your web development in Ruby, deploy using JRuby.
