Re: GWT<>Ruby? How to communicate?

I agree with tc. In your rails controllers set your respond_to blocks to render json then you can use RequestBuilder to make your rest calls. You can then create jsni methods that eval the json and return Javascript Overlay object that you can use in your app. During development you may want to setup Apache as a reverse proxy so that you can run your GWT code in dev mode and call your Rails services running on a separate port (because of the cross site scripting limitations they need to be on the same domain, which means same port too). Alternatively you probably could use JRuby during development and make sure you can still deploy to MRI.

Thanks,

My guess is that you would set up restful services on the server in ruby and use the request builder in gwt to send Json

I am a prettyy experienced GWT developer, but have no knowledge of
Ruby...has anyone used them together?

I am on shared hosting which doesn't support servlets, so my only
server side options are php or ruby. Id normally use php, but ruby
seems to have a better supported lib I want to use for Jabber
communication.

Ergo, I need to learn Ruby, but I dont want to bother unless I can
still leverage my gwt skills for the front end.

Thanks for any pointers/feedback.
