Hello from the JRuby project! I’m one of the devs, and I’m using JRuby for something very similar right now at work to write EJB unit tests. I may also look at implementing business logic in Ruby…it wouldn’t be difficult. We’re currently working to make JRuby more EJB and J2EE-friendly, so you’re certain to see more of these opportunities. Thanks for the exposure!

Yep. I am a professional J2EE developer, a former Python and a present-day Ruby enthusiast. I have tried both Jython and JRuby (although not with EJBs, just plain stuff) and in my experience JRuby is a clear winner when it comes to the compatibility with the ‘mother’ language. Jython is hardly Python2.5 compatible (maybe not even 2.4) while JRuby provides up-to-date (that is 1.8.3 (4)?) compatibility. In this comparison, i would vote for JRuby.

Pretty cool. I did something similar to this with Jython a while ago (basically publishing to a JMS Queue) and I was excited too. I should start looking into JRuby, looks like it is making some strides!
