Hi,

i’m analyzing the possibility of calling a EJB from ruby code,  
in order to fetch sets of information from remote server.

Does anyone have done this before?  
I’ m having trouble in translating the following piece fof code.

Context ctx = new InitialContext(env);  
Object narrowFromObj = ctx.lookup();  
userSessionHome = (UserSessionHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(  
narrowFromObj, ejbRemoteHomeClass);

to

narrowfromobj = init\_context.lookup(remoteHomeJndiName)  
portable\_remote = Rjb::import(‘javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject’)  
portable\_remote.narrow narrowfromobj, ejbRemoteHomeClass

and i get the following error:

" method missing : Fail: unknown name ‘narrow’ (RuntimeError) "

I would be glad to resolve this issue, i´m trying to integrate a RoR app  
with in j2ee environment.

Thanks!

André
