Does anyone know if we jRuby allows you upload rails apps as bytecode?

Yeah, looks like FFI would be your best bet. The C gdbm extension is mostly just wiring the underlying APIs into Ruby, and it's only 1300 lines of C code :). Sounds like a nice side project. If you decide to port it, let us know so we can consider including it in JRuby core (since gdbm is usually distributed with Ruby).

How easy/difficult would it be to get gdbm working? Would using the JRuby FFI be the way to go?

Thx for the quick reply.
I tried experimental support for it in 1.3.1 but hasn't worked out to well for me.

Thx again.

No, we haven't done anything new with fork. We still have the experimental support by setting -J-Djruby.fork.enabled=true, but I've only seen it work in simple cases.

Some days ago I wrote a little script to help me to run ruby specs to check ruby 1.9 compatibility. I know it's not perfect but it's useful for me and perhaps for you as well, you can take a look at here: http://gist.github.com/190948 http://thinkincode.net/2009/9/22/improving-jruby-...
