Before I dive too deeply into this myself (having never done java2d
before), just
thought I’d ask if anyone had any experience in using java2d from jruby?
Ideally I’m after a rack middleware that can transform images as they
pass through it.
In a somewhat related note, is there any way to use a chain of Rack
apps with servlet
filters, or does the Rack chain all run behind the ‘jruby servlet’ (as
you can probably tell,
I haven’t looked into how Warbler works in any detail 
).

Oddly enough, just tested that last night under jruby-rack and Restlet.
jruby-rack runs, among other choices, as a Filter and so you can run
it as part of a Filter chain. Warbler may not instantly set things up
the way you want, but you can probably convince it.
Java2d is possible to use in Ruby, but I felt, not natural. My
preference here was to write a simpler app specific API on the Java
side (resize,rotate etc)and use that from Ruby. We sometimes need to
use JAI or a C library for performance, quality, etc., and the simpler
API insulates Ruby developers from these details.

Cool, I’ll try it under GFv3 later tonight.

Fully agree :0 I ended up using ImageVoodoo, which is great for
resizing/thumbnailing.
Looks like I’ll still need to break out java2d for anything fancier,
but I needed an
excuse to dive into the java ↔ jruby bits of JRuby anyway
pass through it.

If you figure out any useful abstractions which can be folded back
into ImageVoodoo, then holler. ImageVoodoo is first and foremost a
library to give compatibility with image science, but that doesn’t
mean we can’t add additional value-add features.
Hi Tom,
I was working under the assumption that ImageVoodoo just supported
the features that ImageScience did, but just before I started reading up
on
AffineTransforms I thought I’d check.
Turns out you do what I need already
(I’m looking at a silly Rack filter to invert jpegs, a bit like:
Upside-Down-Ternet
)
You’ve done a great job with ImageVoodoo, it’s exactly what JRuby should
be
about. All the power of Java wrapped in a the simplicity of a Ruby
lib. Thanks a lot!
