Using java and Ruby on rails at the same time... possible?

Question

I am currently developing a search engine and I have some implemented algorithms that are written in Java but also I need to get some Database communication which is easy thing in Ruby an Rails. Thus, Is there any way to use both language in the web application development

Regards :)

expose the search engine as a webservice and call the webservice from ruby? Or just use SOLR, which already has a gem? — Kevin

Easily. You can run Ruby on top of the JVM by using JRuby, or you can have Ruby communicate with Java by using RJB (Ruby-Java Bridge). Or you could reimplement the algorithms in Ruby.

Sounds like JRuby is the sort of thing you're looking for, although I haven't (yet) used it myself.
