Oracle-JRuby error

I am trying to migrate from RoR/MYSql to JRoR/Oracle. I am using Active
Record JDBC to talk to the database. The Migration process to create and
populate the database tables has been painful. My latest issue is the
method new_date is undefined in the JDBC adapter. I have the following
gems installed:

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

This is from a db:migrate run to insert data into a table that contains
three date fields. The code snippet is:

p = Schedule.new(
                :frequency               => "3",
                :status                  => "Active",
                :stop_date               => "01-01-2020",
                :p_date                  => "01-01-2008",
                :start_date              => "01-01-2008"
               )

p.save()

The migration scripts up to this point do insert data. Am I doing
something wrong or is this a bug that I need to report somewhere? Any
pointers are appreciated!!!

For the record, this app works with JRuby on Rails and MySQL or SQLite
and JDBC with just the usual database.yml changes and installing the
appropriate adapters.

but which ones are you requiring in your app? If this is one,

you might want to try activerecord-jdbc-adaptor 0.8 for comparison;
I’m trying to sort out some inconsistencies in this area right now.

Also, what driver (jar) file are you using?

I am using ojdbc14.jar and, yes 0.9.1 for the jdbc adapter.

I will try the 0.8 jdbc adapter!

Thanks for the suggestion! I will post my results.

The 0.8 adapter works! I still have a couple of issues that I will post
separately, but I’m over this huge hurdle for the moment!

Thanks again!!!
