Hi Rail experts,

I am learning to use ruby on rail to replace our old php based web  
application.  
I have one question: originally we have some web services developed in  
java, and they are running on the jSoapServer (java based). If we  
still want to use our java code at teh back-end. how to do it in ruby  
on rail. or are there info in detail for them.

Regards,

-Mo

Look for information on the ActionWebServices plugin for Rails. This  
plugin used to be built into Rails for interacting with SOAP web  
services, but with the decision to promote REST as an alternative to  
SOAP it was pulled out into a plugin and ActiveResource (REST client)  
was added to the Rails core.

Minor correction: actionwebservice appears to be a gem rather than a  
plugin. It appears that the most current work on it (at least at Github  
can be found here:
