You appear to confuse SVG and Adobe. The Adobe SVG viewer is one way to display SVG on the browser. It is also the most common way and works with most browsers. Some browsers such as recent versions of Konqueror, Opera, Firefox and Mozilla support SVG directly, and do not require a plugin. There are also SVG viewers such as Batik Squiggle which are applications for viewing SVG. As well, you can build your own Batik application in Java, or you could even build a Batik SVG viewer applet. Finally, many mobile devices support SVG via the Ikivo or the Bitflash SVG viewers. Because there are many ways to view SVG on a device, I can not really specifically answer your SVG device question. > 2.

You do not integrate the SVG browser into your serverside system. SVG is analogous to HTML, and you simply build a system that displays SVG and send that displayed SVG to the requesting SVG-enabled browser via HTTP requests, exactly the same way that it is done in html. There is nothing more to it. So in short, you do the following: 1/ decide whether or not you wish to use SVG as the GUI layer for your application, or as part of the GUI layer. 2/ decide what user platforms you wish to support 3/ find out what SVG subset is and what is not supported by these platforms 4/ build your architecture accordingly 5/ deploy and test... The same as with html. Some SVG implementations support most of SVG-1.2, some support part of SVG-1.0, some support javascript, some support smil. You need to be aware of what you want to do, and you need to research how you will do it. Broadly speaking, anything that can generate arbitrary XML can generate SVG. However, anything that assumes HTML (such as most implementations of Ajax solutions) do not work so well. I have not worked with ruby on rails, but unless it can generate arbitrary xml, you will probably have trouble with it.
