Oracle-JRuby error

I am trying to migrate from RoR/MYSql to JRoR/Oracle. I am using Active Record JDBC to talk to the database. The Migration process to create and populate the database tables has been painful. My latest issue is the method new_date is undefined in the JDBC adapter. I have the following gems installed:

*** LOCAL GEMS ***

actionmailer (2.2.2) actionpack (2.2.2) activerecord (2.2.2) ActiveRecord-JDBC (0.5) activerecord-jdbc-adapter (0.9.1) activeresource (2.2.2) activesupport (2.2.2) net-sftp (2.0.2) net-ssh (2.0.11) parseexcel (0.5.2) rails (2.2.2) rake (0.8.4) rspec (1.2.0) rubyzip (0.9.1) rufus-scheduler (1.0.13) sources (0.0.1)

The error dump is:

This is from a db:migrate run to insert data into a table that contains three date fields. The code snippet is:

    p = Schedule.new(                     :frequency => "3",                     :status => "Active",                     :stop_date => "01-01-2020",                     :p_date => "01-01-2008",                     :start_date => "01-01-2008"                    )

    p.save()

The migration scripts up to this point do insert data. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug that I need to report somewhere? Any pointers are appreciated!!!

For the record, this app works with JRuby on Rails and MySQL or SQLite and JDBC with just the usual database.yml changes and installing the appropriate adapters.

I am trying to migrate from RoR/MYSql to JRoR/Oracle. I am using Active Record JDBC to talk to the database. The Migration process to create and populate the database tables has been painful. My latest issue is the method new_date is undefined in the JDBC adapter. I have the following gems installed:

but which ones are you requiring in your app? If this is one,

activerecord-jdbc-adapter (0.9.1)

you might want to try activerecord-jdbc-adaptor 0.8 for comparison; I'm trying to sort out some inconsistencies in this area right now.

Also, what driver (jar) file are you using?

I will try the 0.8 jdbc adapter!

The 0.8 adapter works! I still have a couple of issues that I will post separately, but I'm over this huge hurdle for the moment!

Thanks again!!!! Norm
