hello,  
I am using Jruby on Rails. Does anyone know if you can expose a RoR  
object  
as a java class so that you can call it directly from java without  
having to  
go through a service layer like REST ?

Thx  
Adam

Adam,  
The following link for NetBeans might give you the answer:  
[http://www.netbeans.org/kb/61/ruby/java-ruby.html?intcmp=025655](http://www.netbeans.org/kb/61/ruby/java-ruby.html?intcmp=025655)  
I haven’t gone through it yet so it might not be exactly what it is  
you are looking for, but seems like it may answer your question.  
HTH.
