I’m using JRuby in a Rails application, which is supported by a Java
backend. One of the Java Interface functions requires a hashmap be
passed
from the JRuby to the Ruby code, and I’m running into an unexpected
RuntimeException in this case.
The Hashmap construction is very straightforward:
def java_map
hash_map = ::Java::JavaUtil::HashMap.new
hash_map[:original_document_uri] = “”.to_s
end
This construction causes no errors in JRuby, and I can nicely access the
map
as expected.
The trouble comes when I attempt to pass this map into Java:
NativeException (java.lang.RuntimeException:
org.jcodings.specific.ASCIIEncoding):
org/apache/activemq/command/ActiveMQObjectMessage.java:111:in

$Proxy15:-1:in …(I’ve removed my application specific details here,
as
they seem unimportant)
That is the stacktrace that I get on my rails log, and in my java log I
get:
java.lang.RuntimeException: org.jcodings.specific.ASCIIEncoding
… (similar trace to above)

As you can see, I am using ActiveMQ as my broker, and have the java
running
in a Tomcat instance, while the JRuby is running inside Trinidad.
I’m not sure if the HashMap here is a red herring, but it seems that
whatever I put into the hashmap causes this exception.
Finally, I tried using an empty hashmap, and that seemed to work ok.
I hope someone can lend me a bright Idea.
