Neo4j with Ruby On Rails

I created a ruby on rails web app which I deployed on heroku, by following this guide

http://ruby.railstutorial.org/ruby-on-rails-tutorial-book

The app is very similar to this tutorial in that a user can create an account, log in, create an object with some information which is belongs to that user. These objects I created are meant to represent nodes which I would like to be able to create relationships between.

I have been reading up on Neo4j and it seems like the best fit for ruby but then I read that it only really works with JRuby. Could anyone tell me would it work with my implementation and if so , how? or if it dosent, what should I use instead?

This is again using the Neography gem, but this blog maxdemarzi has got some really nice posts on integrating ruby with neo4j.

Here's a link: http://maxdemarzi.com/2012/01/04/getting-started-with-ruby-and-neo4j/

But as mentioned by others, I don't think you'd get anything that can talk directly to the Java API other than JRuby.

JRuby allows Ruby to access Neo4j directly through the Java API. It is the fastest implementation possible. However, Neo4j also provides a REST API that allows any language to access it over HTTP.

I seems like your answer may be here: Which Ruby REST API client for neo4j?
