Subject: Re: Ruby and EJBs

In order to directly invoke EJB methods from Ruby, you'll need to use
RMI-over-IIOP, which allows CORBA clients to invoke methods on Java RMI
servers, including EJBs. However, there doesn't seem to have been much
activity on the Ruby/CORBA front in the last couple of years, as web
services have stolen most of CORBA's thunder outside of legacy
enterprise applications.

It would probably be more reasonable to write a web services adapter
that re-exported the EJB methods you wanted to make available to your
Ruby code via SOAP or XML-RPC. You may want to start with the Sun
documentation on JAX-RPC, the standard web services implementation for
Java.
