Financial Information exchange (FIX) protocol and ruby

Does anybody have worked with quickfix or any other Financial
Information exchange (FIX) protocol library or engine using ruby?
I am especially interested in engine that can be used on Linux and/or
Windows operating systems.

Are you actually looking for a full-scale FIX engine in Ruby? Something like
Javelin? I've implemented the FIX protocol before, but only for proxying and
validating it, not to build a complete engine. Do you also need FIXml
support?

My goal is to incorporate a FIX protocol in some application of mine.
At the moment I just do a research to find what my options are.

Personally I would like to use a ruby FIX engine but if no such exists
I will engage in an effort to building it.

The QuickFix has a ruby wrapper but it doesn't work on Windows, at
least that's what I find in documentation.

Have you considered using a Java-based FIX engine from JRuby? Currently JRuby is a little slower than standard Ruby, but the JRuby developers say that's just a temporary situation. If the Java-based FIX engine has acceptable performance then using JRuby to access it seems like a good solution.

BTW, my company has a lot of experience with FIX. We even offer classes on FIX. If you need help with this, contact spence_m@ociweb.com.

Definitely I should test the Java thought JRuby solution.
