similar to: iText, Rails, and OS X

I MAY be able to derive something out of the present example given here : http://blog.codeinmotion.com/index.php/2006/12/22/pdf-generation-in-ruby-on-rails/ but this deals with filling out forms. Is there a simpler example that just allows you to talk to itext , send it some plain text and get back a pdf and then send that pdf to the user as downloadable / renderable data? -- Posted via

Hi, For those who might not be aware, rjb is a killer gem for using java classes inside your rails app (or any ruby code). Check it out at: http://rubyforge.org/projects/rjb/ I was able to successfully use it in one of my apps that required some code that is only available in java. And it''s much nicer than having to compile a java app, then shell out using backticks, get back the return

I''m trying to interact with a java library (Aspose Slides) inside of my Rails 3 app. I''m trying to get the rjb gem installed but I keep running into the same error when I try to start the app: [BUG] cross-thread violation on rb_gc() (null) Abort trap I''m on OSX 10.6.6, running ruby 1.8.7-p174 (via RVM) and Rails 3.0.4. I tried a couple of methods for getting this

Greetings. I am trying to list all keys in a java.util.HashMap field. The Java code to do this looks like: # Collection c = hMap.values(); # # //obtain an Iterator for Collection # Iterator itr = c.iterator(); # # //iterate through HashMap values iterator # while(itr.hasNext()) System.out.println(itr.next()); So, I took a stab at the ruby version: # I have a java hashmap called fields

I am still attempting to figure out how to send an Itext generated pdf Document to the browser. I am looking at the following blog posting where someone is using jruby and iText to create a pdf file and then sending it to the browser : http://codersifu.blogspot.com/2007/06/howto-generate-pdf-files-in-ruby-on.html Unlike the above example I am using only ruby / on rails. I would like to do

Hello, I''m having some problems when try to install rjb i get this message C:\Users\PC1090\Documents\RJB\rjb-1.3.8>ruby setup.rb config ---> bin <--- bin ---> lib <--- lib ---> ext C:/Ruby187/Ruby1.8.7/bin/ruby "C:/Users/PC1090/Documents/RJB/rjb-1.3.8/ext/extconf.rb" checking for jni.h... no *** C:/Users/PC1090/Documents/RJB/rjb-1.3.8/ext/extconf.rb failed

Hi all, In several of the transformations I'm working on I need to embed the logical equivalent of puts/printf/etc. calls inline with code. I am having some difficulties getting the transformation code right. As I understand it, I should be creating a ConstantArray based on the string (in this case I'm taking an instruction, 'disassembling' it to an ostringstream then turning

Folks, I'm a bit puzzled by the fact that if I generate 100,000 standard normal variates using rnorm() and perform the Jarque-Bera on the resulting vector, I get p-values that vary drastically from run to run. Is this expected? Surely the p-val should be close to 1 for each test? Are 100,000 variates sufficient for this test? Or is it that rnorm() is not a robust random number generator?

Heya all -- I recently downloaded the RJB 1.1.1 gem, and the install seemed to go fine. However, when I try to require ''rjb'' I get the following error: no such file to load -- rjb Has anyone seen this before? Any thoughts what it could be? Thanks so much! -Lucas -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this

In production I''ve setup a mongrel cluster of 2 servers. Now I''m using RJB(ruby java bridge). So I need certain java environment variables set before mongrel starts. So I set them: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0/jre/lib/i386/:/usr/java/jdk1.6.0/jre/lib/i386/client/:./ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.6.0/ Then I run "mongrel_rails cluster::start". Now

I am trying to do file i/o with rails and rjb and can''t figure out a way to make this work. Here''s what I am trying to do: - a user uploads an image to the server via a standard html form: <%= file_field("blog", "attach") %> - this returns a ruby File object to the controller in params[:blog][:attach]

So I''ve googled my brains out, and I see a lot of talk about TextHelper for views, but next to no discussion about cleaning text _before_ it is saved. I figured this had to be asked 4 zillion times, but I''m not finding anything concrete/obvious. Using h is fine as a safety catch, but that alone is not acceptable to me as the means of diffusing the impact of HTML or JS

Hi Gurus- I want to return the variety from the species table based on the active record link to inventory table class Species < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :inventories end class Inventory < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :species (this is the singular and the plural, so that''s OK) end My inventory_controller looks like: def show @inventory =

What I''d like to do: Capture the IP addresses of the folks visiting a web site in the Sessions table. What needs to be in place (code, model, controller, etc.), where does it need to go (application controller?), how best to set up the Sessions table? Appreciate a noob-friendly outline of what needs to be done. Thanks. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You

Is there a method to return a hash of the route configuration based on a path? For example: magic_method(''/my_controller/my_action/my_id'') => {:controller => ''my_controller'', :action => ''my_action'', :id => ''my_id''} Thanks!

Hello, I''m a beginner, so any hints are appreciated; I''m still trying to find my way around Rails code. For a bug I''ve found I need to create a table called "values" so I added this: create_table :values do |t| t.integer :value end among the other table creations in activerecord/test/cases/migration_test.rb. Is that ok? But then, when I run the tests

hi all, This may seem trivial and stupid to the experts , but i have been at it for over 2 weeks and all answers got from forums did not help with resolving the issue. Even using cygwin didn''t help , i get the same errors. I''m working on a windows- rails combination and am trying trying to setup an existing application which uses a plethora of gems. I''m done with about

Right now, my organization is using a commercial service (OneCallNow.com), that gives telephone notifications to all numbers in a predefined list. Example: -Admin records a voice message -Service calls each number in the list, and plays the message back to them It's a pretty handy service, albeit a bit pricey. I've been wondering if Asterisk could do this for me? I don't really want

on previous apps i hadn''t really worried much about adding foreign key indexes on my tables just because they''ve been fairly small and i didn''t really think i needed them. well, i''m working on something now that has the potential to have a lot more data, and a lot more foreign keys. so i have 3 tables... users, projects, and tasks.. should i be using add_index
