JavaSide

Add java support for jruby on rails.

• maven support: third party jar dependency management, java class
• spring support: springframework added, xml load......
• warbler compatible: you can use "warble" command to build your war

Installation

rails plugin install git://github.com/fsword/java_side.git

Maven Support

If you want to add a third-party java library, you just modify the pom file:

$ vim $RAILS_ROOT/java/pom.xml

Then run the task: rake java_side:jars

The jar files will be put to the $RAILS_ROOT/java/jars and will be loaded when rails booting automatically. It also be packaged when you execute the warbler task

Springframework Support

• Add support

1.modify config/application.rb, and add a line like that:

class Application < Rails::Application ... config.spring = true ... end

2.check java/pom.xml to make sure it has springframework's dependency(it has added by default pom.xml). 3.run the task: rake java_side:jars

• Usage

You can use get_bean function on your model, like this:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base def doSth get_bean('your_bean_id').invokeTheService ... end end

If you want to use your bean on other place, just include JavaSide::Spring:

Loading development environment (Rails 3.0.6) jruby-1.5.6 :001 > include JavaSide::Spring => Object jruby-1.5.6 :002 > x = get_bean 'your_bean_id' => # jruby-1.5.6 :003 > x.invokeTheService => ......
