Connecting to DB2 using Ruby on Rails

I need to connect to a IBM db2 table using jruby and ruby on rails.
I have managed to do it, but I haven't seen this solution anywhere and I am hoping i can get some feedback on it, or if there is a better approach.




  1. I am using the gem: activerecord-jdbc-adapter (1.3.16)

  2. I added a jar file to my application lib folder, I found the jar file somewhere but I'm not sure where (possibly http://jt400.sourceforge.net/). It is called jt400-9.4.jar


  3. In application.rb, I load the jar file:



    require_relative '../lib/jt400-9.4.jar' if RUBY_PLATFORM == "java"



  4. My database.yml is below at the bottom.



I can open a Rails console and connect to a table and run Raw inserts.
Does this seem correct, should I need to include the jar file when using the activerecord-jdbc-adapter ??



Thanks for the feedback



development:
adapter: as400
url: "jdbc:as400://ipaddess:port"
schema: schema_name
username: username
password: pw
