Well this question has two answers. For starters, we are not quite a good enough pure-Ruby impl to run Ruby on Rails. The generation tools almost work. Webrick is getting closer (still need some more Socket library work). These are the areas we are attacking right now. Once we finish this part we can say that RoR works in JRuby. This I think is only the first part. The second answer is that we will have to create some glue code to make RoR run naturally in a J2EE container. I am guessing this will be a simple servlet (I have not looked at doing this). My understanding is that people use mod_ruby to plug RoR to a web server. We just need to fulfill this piece in java. Another piece would be to create a JDBC activerecord connector. -Tom -- + http://www.tc.umn.edu/~enebo +---- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ----+ | Thomas E Enebo, Protagonist | "Luck favors the prepared | | | mind." -Louis Pasteur | ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
