JRuby and DB4O

I have managed to get JRuby up and running, and I am using Netbeans to edit my code. I am pleased. I can create Ruby on Rails projects, and I can start and stop servers from the IDE. All good.

Today, I started to play with DB4O – I have hit a small snag. The objects I want to save will NOT save – I am getting an ObjectNotStorableException. I am sure that all I need to do is read some more – my objects are Ruby objects not Java objects. (I thought I was inheriting from proper Java classes, but I am sure I can work through this.)

I will also try this with Jython – and, I found a version of PHP5 that runs on the JVM. I will keep you posted. As usual, I do not have a lot of time.

Today, my six year old step daughter and I rode our bikes to the bakery to get breakfast for the family. This was her first purposeful bike ride, and it was the first time she had every ridden on the road. She was very proud of herself – and I was proud of her, too.

In the afternoon, I proposed that we are drive out to Carleton Place for no reason. We looked around, bought some books, and had supper at a lovely little Irish pub. Technology had to wait, and that is as it should be.

However, I would like to find time to generate some excitement about DB4O for scripting languages that run on the JVM.
