Hi all

here is what I need

- from an Oracle jdeveloper form,
- click on a button
- open a web application in RoR,
- let the user choose several options in the RoR page and calculate a  
Total Amount,
- return the total amount to the jdeveloper application,

Could it be done with web services?

-the Oracle jdeveloper form calls a web service that opens my RoR web  
application,

- then my RoR web application returns a Total Amount value,
- my web service returns the Total Amount
- the jdeveloper form gets the Total Amount from the web service

Which are the other options available to make an jdeveloper form  
communicate with a RoR application?
