A framework for doing data transformations in WebSphere Message Broker, coded in Ruby. WMB out the box supports three languages for transformations:

ESQL, a proprietary, non object oriented language that allows for very natural mapping constructs, for example

OutputRoot.MRM.Header.Language=InputRoot.XML.root.xml:langJava. Since Java is statically typed, it does not allow for a natural mapping constructs. Instead, it provided an API much like the XML DOM for accessing and creating message trees. XSL-T. Only supported for XML transformations. Ruby could provide a nice alternative in that its a very popular language, and it easily offers mapping constructs much like ESQL. For example

inroot.MRM.Header.Language=outroot.XML.root.xml:langThis projects aims at providing basic support for writing message transformations using Ruby. This includes a simple API, a Ruby node for including in the message flow and a yet to be defined way of deploying the Ruby code to the runtime message broker.
