[jruby-user] Using a text record from the database as a Java String?

I'm building a rails app where the user input is submitted to the
database via a text field, with :text datatype. I want to take this text
data and use java to analyse and interact with it, but to do this it
obviously needs to be a String datatype. Is there an easy way to cast
the text data to a String so that I can manipulate it using Java? Thanks
:)
