Getting JRuby on Rails working with DB2

  • Posted By Stuart Halloway on May 13, 2008

Aaron and I are trying to get Jruby on Rails on DB2 to actually work. So far, we have been wrestling with the following issues:

We are driving our effort by porting existing projects that work with other databases, and seeing what breaks. We are not DB2 experts, so a lot of this is conjecture+test. We would love to join forces with anyone interested in getting the DB2 driver to first-class status. Give us a shout.

    I can’t offer specific suggestions, but this seems to be a recurring issue for JRuby on Rails. We had to monkey patch the SQL Server adapter. I recommend checking the JRuby Jira: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY/component/12786

    You should just use Grails and be done with it. Its enterprise-ready ;-)

    I’ve got some DB2 skills, but no Ruby, let me know if you need a hand on the DB side.

    I’d love to lend a hand. Been looking to pump up my JRuby skills and I’ve been working with DB2 (via Java and Perl) for about 2 years now.
