Has anyone attempted to run Rails inside of JRuby? Is that even possible? Aside from the performance implications, is it a bad idea? I''m thinking that it might be useful in very rare cases where a Ruby/Rails - equivalent of a Java solution may not exist yet. Any thoughts? Wes -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I sure hope so: http://duckdown.blogspot.com/2006/03/additional-thoughts-on-why-ruby-isnt.html Seems like it''s getting genuine rebuttals, though. It''s actually kind of amusing.

Hi all, I''m asking this question from the standpoint of a developer with almost 10 years experience with Microsoft technologies, mostly doing server side component and database work. So, I''m not very familiar with the java world. Can anyon tell me how/if java development can complement Ruby on Rails development? I''m not interested in how java can duplicate Rails

I''m trying to figure out how Ruby in general, and/or anything extra Rails may have, can talk to Java APIs of third party server apps. After quite a few search attempts net-wide and on ruby forums, and with "Programming Ruby" in hand, I''m coming up with zilch. Either I''m not finding it, or I''m not recognizing it. I''m assuming there has

I''m facing a situation where I am going to have to integrate with a legacy database , specifically the IBM UniVerse database, which is not *quite* relational. It feels like a holdover from the dark ages of computing. Before I attempt writing an ActiveRecord adapter, I''d like to know if anyone else uses this database and if I''m the only person that needs this thing. I

Received this link from a regular email blast, it may interest some of you. I guess RoR is starting to gain more traction :-) http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/db2/library/techarticle/dm-0606dumbill/?ca=dnw-723 Cheers Mohit.

We in the JRuby project are working to get Rails to work successfully. However, the array-indexed block parameter is not something currently supported in JRuby: x = {} [1,2].each {|x[:foo]|} This is not used extensively in the Rails code, but it''s used enough to cause things to break in JRuby. We have been modifying the above to use a temporary local variable, but obviously

The recent Rails security issue highlighted a concern I''ve had about Rails deploys; namely, you shouldn''t deploy anything to production that you don''t need there. Rails apps have a number of scripts--potential security holes or DOS targets in this case--along with all the other application code you need. There''s no reason you should have script/server, console,

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/.

Hey guys, We''ve been talking about the multi-byte patch and I think it''s time to get feedback from you guys on a possible way forward. We can include ActiveSupport::Multibyte with rails 1.2, and update all of the relevant helpers to use the String#chars proxy. This will mean that none of the action view helpers will mangle multibyte strings. Similarly, if any Strings are being

Last week I posted a question about monitoring Rails applications. Basically, the java folks at my business cited one of their reasons for sticking with Java is it''s monitoring tools. After picking some ears, I found out that the one we''re looking at most is JBoss Operations Network. And I have to say, it''s pretty neat.

Hi, I''ve started reading some Java books. Gasp! What makes website development with Java so bad? I haven''t looked at Struts but I''m reading about Hibernate. Compared to ActiveRecord, Hibernate seems like some extra typing to explicitly define the model fields, getters and setters. I know that these are things that you can do in ActiveRecord when things get complicated

hi, Where i can download tomcat in rpm format (latest version) ? Thanks

The ActiveRecord-JDBC adapter is rapidly maturing these days. I got the full set of AWDwR2 migrations to run with it against MySQL last night, and Ola Bini has gotten migrations working well against Oracle and Firebird. We also have SQL Server support running most of our test cases (under non-Windows environments too!) and have started adding support for Derby and HSQLDB (Java-based DBs). Things

Hello community, I''m new to rubyonrails and to this Forum. I have to call 2 Fields, generated by ruby, from a javafunction (onSubmit) but when I use this example it didn''t work, why? <%= start_form_tag({:action=> "show"}, { :onSubmit =>"post[testfieldone].value=examplefunction(post[textfieldtwo].value+post[textfieldthree].value);" }) %>

In typical Java/J2EE applications, domain model object do not have much logic, they are basically data holders. It seems to be considered a sin to put persistence logic in the domain model objects, instead it should be put a DAO (Data Access Object). I have always thought this seems funny, after all, what seems more natural/object-oreiented?: user.save() or userDao.save(user) In Ruby/Rails,

I''m getting the following error while connecting to mysql using activerecord-jdbcmysql-adapter (1.0.2). Rails 3.0.1. ActiveRecord::JDBCError: Generated keys not requested. You need to specify Statement.RETURN_GENERATED_KEYS to Statement.executeUpdate() or Connection.prepareStatement().: SET SQL_AUTO_IS_NULL=0 This occurs not matter what application I run it in to e.g. rake, rails

Why Ruby on Rails won''t become mainstream http://beust.com/weblog/archives/000382.html Kind of interesting, but didn''t convince me. Though, yeah, I can imagine a lot of naive programmers sticking with PHP and VB (the type of crowd that also doesn''t run their own servers, so they''re dependent on hosts offering Rails for them). Rails DOES have an IDE - soon

Hi, I''ve been trying to get JRuby 1.5.3 with Rails 3 to run on the Tomcat6 server with little success. Has anyone been able to do this? If so, what issues did you have to overcome to get this to work? Also, is this a combination that you would recommend for a production site, or is it all too new and untested? The latest issue I''m stuck on right now is with the mysql-connector-

Hi, I''m rather new to Ruby and RoR, so I do not really know whether this ist the right forum to place my question. For my first ''project'' I planned to create a simple online-viewer, which grabs data from an existing database and make them visible in a structured form via browsers. So I thought that could be the right beginner-project, because I have only read datasets
