I’ve got a non-RoR but ruby webapp in the works.
So far, I’ve just been using requests, hacks, and mod_ruby; but I’d really like to try out Mongrel–which seems to work really well for RoR sites.
I looked at the examples given in GitHub, and none of them does dynamic changing of content w/o having to restart Mongrel like you can do in RoR under dev mode.
How can I do this? (Just using load doesn’t work.)
I use Sinatra with a Mongrel backend; hello world really is as easy as it says on the front page. I actually started with Sinatra, and then changed the server from webrick to mongrel after experimenting around with which gave better performance.
See this question for how that testing worked out.
