Hello!

How stable is the ActiveRecord lib in the JRuby environment? Are there  
any experience with it in production usage?

Any hints appreciated.

There are no production apps that I know of that are making use if  
AR-JDBC.  
Most of the few releases that we’ve had thusfar are to simply get basic  
functionality working for a smattering of databases. I assume you’ve  
read  
these? [1], [2]

If you have a little time to try it out and bang on it, we’d sure  
appreciate  
hearing about your experience!

Cheers,

Thanks Nick for your reply, maybe I’ll do a bachelor thesis with Java  
scripted by Ruby. It’s about medical science and I’ll evaluate the  
combination Java+JRuby+DB Access and report my experience.
