There are messages weekly--if not daily--to the Rails mailing list asking for feature X or Y that Java library Z already provides. The stock answer, "wrap it in a web service," only scales so far. I believe we will see a new explosion in Rails use once Rails apps have the power of both Ruby and Java easily available. Oh what a world that will be!Charles Oliver Nutterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06400331959739924670noreply@blogger.com
