Accessing a running Java Process

I have a running java process on the same server as I am running Ruby (not JRuby, but old C-Ruby) I need to access an object in this running Java application. I have tried to do this through sockets communication, but this won;t work. Ruby objects do not lend themselves to being unravelled on the Java side.

Does anyone have any other ideas for fast, simple communication? I only need to go one way, from ruby to the runing applicaiton. -Janna B
