Hi All,

I have some old code in Java which does a set of tasks which are  
needed by my RoR application.  
Currently the mecahnism is that there is a java web server which runs  
the Java code and the ROR app gets the data via http and XML.

## Is there a better/ faster way of doing this … i mean using the java code directly in my RoR app.

Thanks
