Talking to Java APIs

I am able run a simple ruby script using Jruby. But I am stuck now that
I can’t seem to call my java classes from script. Where should I place
my jars so that ruby can access it? Also can I call java using Jruby in
a controller?

If you’re interested in going the bridge route, I’ve used Jrb (Java-Ruby
bridge, see: http://arton.no-ip.info/collabo/backyard/?RubyJavaBridge)
to successfully use both JVM built-ins as well as talk to a 3rd party
API (JExcelAPI).

See Xalan with Ruby (either command line or via Jrb)? - Ruby - Ruby-Forum for some code examples of how
you can us Jrb.

Feel free to email me at weyus at att dot net with questions. I’ve
found Jrb to work quite well.
