It's OK, I'm aware of this. By "a complete answer to the questions
Ruby
on Rails has posed to the Java community", I mean a full-stack
framework
which has the advantages of comprehensiveness, integration and
ease-of-use which people praise in Rails - I wasn't suggesting that
the
framework itself was written as a response to Rails. One can read a
lot
of Rails articles suggesting that Java has had its day in the web
application area and the future belongs to Ruby, etc. My point was
that
you can (I hope) mention RIFE to refute this.
Thanks, and yes, you can mention RIFE to refute this. Even Rails'
creator, DHH, says so:

Personally I think that the best thing in RoR is Ruby, I don't
like the framework itself very much. Since a wealth of JVM
scripting languages are supported in RIFE (like Groovy), you can
get much of agility that scripting languages give you.
I'm encouraged that Jython seems to be showing signs of renewed
life (it
was falling way behind C Python), as I have really come to like Python
for certain kinds of work and the thought of being able to use it in
RIFE is appealing.
I haven't kept up with the recent activity, will they release an new
version soon?
