There is some library called pymorphy written in python. Unfortunately, for java there is not any library with the similar functionality - natural language processing for Russian lang. So I need to invoke some methods of pymorphy library from Java code.
First I've tried to solve this problem with Jython. But I've spent 2 days and the goal was not accomplished because python modules cdb, bsddb3, sqlite are written in C and they will not work with Jython.
Now I want to run some python light-weight server with pymorphy for handling request from Java code.
How could I implement this kind of java-python interaction with the maximum production performance? Or is there more simple way to call python from java?
Try Jepp, "Java Embedded Python". http://jepp.sourceforge.net/
I haven't used it beyond small projects, but it works as advertised, allowing one to call CPython transparently from Java. If you have the opposite problem, needing to call Java from CPython, definitely check out JPype. I've used it extensively and it works very well.
I think these libraries (cdb, bsddb3, sqlite) has a jython implementation in https://code.google.com/p/django-jython/ check it out

ok, So i searched net for the possible implementation but all that I managed to find is Django projects implementation on Java platform through Jython. But I want to do the reverse, i.e. implement/integrate java project ( which in my case is SAIKU server ) on Django platform.
The question being, is it possible, and if yes, then kindly point me to the solution.
Thanking in advance =)
For your specific requirement, I would suggest using RESTFul API to access the Saiku Server.
However if you need to run Java Classes from Python.
Here are the options available for you:
JCC -- a C++ code generator for calling Java from C++/Python. It produces producing Python extensions which communicate via JNI with a Java virtual machine. As it implies, this would require compilations of every possible call. However this project is backbone of PyLucene project.
CodeMesh. C++ code generator for Java.
Py4J Python programs running in a Python interpreter to dynamically access Java objects in a Java Virtual Machine.
JPype allow python programs full access to java class libraries. It is done through interfacing at the native level in both Virtual Machines. However there are no recent development in this front.
In general, having an loosly coupled integration through REST or RCP would be easy to maintain than tightly coupled JNI based implementation.
There's no way to run Java within the Python runtime (which is what it sounds like you want). There are Java to Python "translators" available, but they're terrible. Honestly, if you need a Java server and Django to sit inside the same process for some reason, Jython is the way to go.
There are lots of options outside of that though, off the top of my head:
Implement Python bindings for your server (See PyLucene for an example)
Implement a socket server within your Java server that Python can talk to directly
As I've recently started using JRuby, more specifically building Java applications using Ruby code, I've started using Java Libraries such as LWJGL and Slick.
I know JRuby changes Java method names to a more ruby-esque structure, my question is, is there any current way to generate Ruby documentation, either from source or by conversion of current documentation or even based on what JRuby exposes the methods themselves as?
At some point when JRuby 1.6.7 is out I plan on cleaning this really rough project for just such a thing:
https://github.com/enebo/noridoc
The intention is it will weave both Java and Ruby syntax together and give reasonable documentation for a Rubyist wanting to know all Ruby methods. In it's current form you should be able to generate a reasonable set of HTML docs of Java code showing you all ruby aliased methods. You will need to screw around with the javadoc comment.
Oh and we plan on making this tool available out of the box in JRuby once it is good enough to merge.
Java RMI -Remote Method Invocation- is Java to Java only.
On the Scala website I read that the integration with Java is seamless and that:
Scala programs run on the Java VM, are byte code compatible with Java so you can make full use of existing Java libraries or existing application code. You can call Scala from Java and you can call Java from Scala, the integration is seamless.
Does this mean that I can successfully use a Java to Scala RMI?
Did anyone experiment this first-hand?
EDIT:
Any known or discovered gotchas??
Yes, here's a link to a message thread where it looks like somebody's done it. It says:
Yes it can! Thanks for help. I now have a little RMI-based pair of Scala programs that will be performing transfers of documents from one Documentum system to another (of a previous version); the Scala code is interacting very nicely with the Documentum Java libraries.
Figuring out how to get the method signatures to include throws RemoteException seems to have been the biggest hurdle.
Yes, this can be done. The rmi compiler works with java byte code, so the language used really doesn't matter. I've done this for a class project.
It would depend on what RMI library you are using but in general, the answer is "Yes." Although, note that if you write a method that returns (for example) a Scala collection like scala.collections.immutable.List, then your calling Java code will probably not be able to convert that to a java.util.List.
I'd rather not "reinvent the wheel" and I've found a Ruby project that provides functionality I need in my Java app (there is no preexisting Java project that does what I need - trust me, I've looked). So, best case scenario, I am able to run the Ruby code from my Java code (ala JSR223).
However, this Ruby project depends on having several gems installed. I'm not at all interested in converting the entire Java app into a JRuby app, but I'd like to be able to leverage this project. Is there an easy way to load the code from a gem into a ScriptEngine, or am I just asking for headaches?
JRuby is a solid platform and integrates well with Java. But Rubygems do not integrate so well with Java build tools.
If any of the gems include native C code, then forget it, you can't use them from JRuby.
If all the gems (and all their dependencies) are pure Ruby, it is technically possible to use them from JRuby, but you will have headaches getting them packaged in JARs so that the JRuby runtime can find them.
Mostly I'd say no because of complexity. Although it's subjective, I'd personally rather take the time to re-write it anyway--you can make improvements and when you're done, you'll understand it better.
One option you might consider is splitting your application into two pieces, which interact using either something like pipes/files (or simply stdin and stdout) or some sort of an RPC mechanism. Whether an approach like this makes sense really depends on what the Ruby library does - creating the interface between the two applications might be more complex than actually reimplementing the stuff in Java.
I've reused Java code from JRuby, I don't see why this can't go both ways.
Another thought, can you run the Ruby code and then just tack on a web service or set of web services to call from the Java app? Sinatra makes it ridiculously simple to write a web service wrapper for ruby code. And Java has no shortage of tools to call Web Services.
I have to deploy some Web Services on a server that only supports the Java ones, but some of them will be done using perl or python. I want to know if is possible to develop a Java wrapper to call a specific code written in perl or python. So, I want to have all the Web Services in Java, but some of them will call some code using other languages.
Thanks in advance.

This depends heavily upon your needs. If Jython is an option for the Python code (it isn't always 100% compatible), then it is probably the best option there. Otherwise, you will need to use Java's Process Builder to call the interpretters directly and return the results on their output stream. This will not be fast (but then again, Jython isn't that fast either, relative to regular Java code), but it is an extremely flexible solution.
For the Python part of it you can use Jython to run Python code right from your Java virtual machine. It'll integrate fully with your Java code as a bonus.
For Perl, use Inline::Java. There are several options for integrating the code; you can call a separate process or you can use an embedded interpreter.
For Python you can use the Java Scripting API.
A Perl implementation is sadly still missing.
There's something I used a while back called Jython which allows you to execute Python code from Java. It was a little quirky, but I got it to do what I needed.
