Rubi CTM is a Component Transaction Monitor written in Ruby, for Ruby. It will 
implement server-managed persistence, transactions and security and will 
integrate messaging and XML-based RPC (via SOAP) capabilities, along with 
normal RPC connection technology.

Basically, this project is attempts to create a distributed object architecture 
for the Ruby language that will allow Ruby to compete in the enterprise with 
such technologies as CORBA, EJB and DCOM/COM+. As such, it will attempt to 
incorporate currently-demanded technologies such as message-oriented 
middleware, distributed transaction processing and object request brokerage. 
Also, a naming and directory service will have to be established, as no Ruby 
module exists for this sort of operation currently.

RubiCTM will (hopefully) be implemented in 100% pure Ruby (no C libraries for 
RubiCTM itself), but may rely on some packages that rely on C libraries. This 
is in an attempt to make it run on as many platforms as possible. 

Also, a great concern will be for documentation of the APIs and ease of use for 
the average developer, and may lead to subprojects: either some sort of 
integration with an existing IDE (Emacs would be a good start), or a whole 
development environment all its own (to be avoided , if possible).

RubiCTM will create an enterprise-ready platform to do distributed component 
collaboration, while still retaining the power and ease of the Ruby language. 
That is its main goal.
