Description

If I use a Java class to create Ruby objects, they cannot be sent over DRb. i.e:

package com.kylemaxwell.development;
import org.jruby.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Fu
{
  public static RubyHash rubyHashPlease()
  {
    Ruby jruby = Ruby.getDefaultInstance();
    HashMap map = new HashMap();
    map.put(
       RubyString.newUnicodeString(jruby,  "foo"), 
      RubyString.newUnicodeString(jruby,  "bar")
    );
    return new RubyHash(jruby, map, new RubyNil(jruby));
  }
}

# jirb
 > require "java"
=> true
 > Fu = com.kylemaxwell.development.Fu
=> Java::ComKylemaxwellDevelopment::Fu
 > Fu.ruby_hash_please
=> {"foo"=>"bar"}
 > Fu.ruby_hash_please
=> {"foo"=>"bar"}
 > Marshal::dump _
=> "\004\010{\006\"\010foo\"\010bar"
 > Marshal::load _
=> {"foo"=>"bar"}
 > require 'drb'
=> true
 > DRb.start_service nil, Fu
=> #<DRb::DRbServer:0x9...
 > DRb.uri
=> "druby://kyle.wan:59476"

# other window...
 > require 'drb'
=> true
 > DRb.start_service
=> #<DRb::DRbServer:0x679f...
>> Fu = DRbObject.new nil, "druby://kyle.wan:59476"
=> #<DRb::DRbObject:0x65bd14 @ref=nil, @uri="druby://kyle.wan:59476">
 > Fu.ruby_hash_please
# Hangs....

This is because our JavaObject wrapper does not delegate marshalling to Java serialization. We should probably fix this for 1.1, so that Java objects can be marshaled.

Punting issues from 1.1 RC2 to 1.1 final.

Java integration related, and a bit involved too. Post 1.1.
