You can use system call to execute jar file.

# Change to the directory where jar resides
Dir.chdir("#{RAILS_ROOT}/public/<dirname>/") do

# Execute jar
retResult  = system("<path to java> -jar  <jarname> <args 1> <args
2> .. <args n> ")

if retResult
  Jar executes succesfully
else
  error in executing jar file.

end #chdir

Thanks
