That sounds rather cool - do you have any pointers to more information?

I've actually chosen to get into J2EE for a new project based on the
ability to deploy both a Rails app and a JRuby MDB using the same app
together in Glassfish, and while it wasn't that difficult (even for
this EE newb), it's far from just writing some Ruby. If there was
something like the equivalent of Warbler for beans, that would be
ideal.
