How can I handle a java bean in rails?

Rails

Hi,

I have to interface (using SOAP) with an external system. Most of the
methods respond with a java bean. Look like it was done expecting java
on the client side always.

My question is, how can I interface with that, how can I take a java
bean and handle it on the RoR side?

Any hints?

Thanks

This is not my area of expertise, but perhaps RJB would be helpful here.

Any hints?

Thanks

SOAP requests return XML, which in this case might be a serialized
representation of a bean – have you looked at the actual response?

Hi,
Do you use JRuby ?
You can access java methods (getter and setter for example) with
jruby .

Thanks guys.

Thanks Hassan. Of course. The java object is being serialized and sent
as just XML.

I collected what I had to do to generate my SOAP request over HTTPS as
part of another post I created. Can be found at
