Accessing a running Java Process

Ruby JRuby
1

I have a running java process on the same server as I am running Ruby
(not JRuby, but old C-Ruby) I need to access an object in this running
Java application. I have tried to do this through sockets communication,
but this won;t work. Ruby objects do not lend themselves to being
unravelled on the Java side.

Does anyone have any other ideas for fast, simple communication? I only
need to go one way, from ruby to the runing applicaiton. -Janna B

You could serialize the Ruby objects into something like YAML or XML
that the Java side could understand, or you could put JRuby on the
Java side and it can handle unmarshalling Ruby objects for you and
possibly building Java objects from the results.
