A software architect friend wrote me with a question I can't answer because I don't do Java. I though I would see if any one has any comments on his idea, or links to resources.
Thanks, Scott He wrote: I'm thinking for the start-up that I will be working with of using an architecture with Rails as the web site, but the back end consisting of a cluster of various long-running services and integrations with other financial institutions, to use java. It seems that all of the enterprise middleware is java-based, so if you want to do something in that area, you kinda have to use java or at least something that compiles down to java byte code. The motivation would be to try to take advantage of the productivity gains of RAILS at least for those portions of the site. The Ruby front end would function as a client of the business servers using REST or some other API; or it could use the java JMS API to access the queuing middleware, if we use jRuby. Do you have any thoughts on this architecture?
