You might want to know that in your MyCostumer class @name from the class (@name = \\\’\\\’) is not the same as @name instance variable from the methods getName and setName. To see the difference add static method like this:

def MyCostumer.other_name
@name
end

then check the values:

costumer = MyCostumer.new()
costumer.setName(\\

I don\\\’t have any experience with jruby and using Java classes from within Ruby, I just do pure Rails development
but usually things like this:

def getCostumers
list = ArrayList.new

Costumer.find(:all).each { | costumer |
myCostumer = MyCostumer.new costumer
list.add myCostumer
}

return list
end

are much shorter. For example, if we needed just a Ruby array, we could do it this way:

def getCostumers
Costumer.find(:all).collect{ | costumer | MyCostumer.new(costumer) }
end

this method returns an instance of Ruby Array (which is closer to ArrayList than to Java arrays). Return is not necessary, and methods like select, collect, ad reject are cool

However, i still am thinking too hard to work this way. Maybe the integration between JSF and dynamic languages might become best soon.

Finally, continue writting posts like this, i believe that soon you will get a best solution to integrate JSF and JRuby.

Do you know to say if it released the materials of the JSFDay about JSF e dynamic languages?
