All, I have some data that I need to be able to see across the application. For J2EE people out there, I need something that I want to have available in the "application scope" of my app. What is the best way to handle this? I''m trying to access a class variable that I created in my controller from my view (to no avail). Create a class variable in my helper class and use

Hello, I''m a total newbie, so please forgive my ignorance. I am trying to port an application from java to ruby. In order to do that, I need to put the object containing all the business logic into something like application scope. The nicest solution would be just to have an application wide hash, where I can put all kinds in of objects. Where and how would I instantiate such an

I want to use DRb within my Rails app. Right now I''ve got a very basic class: class PaymentGateway cattr_accessor :ssl_config, :host, :port def self.gateway @@gateway ||= new end def process(amount, card, type = :auth) @biller.process(amount, card, type) end def set_card(user_id, number) @biller.set_card(user_id, number) end protected def initialize

I''m getting strange data back from my worker whenever I run our rails app with more than one dispatcher under lighttpd. just to give some info on what the app does: user submits data to rails app. rails app hands off data to worker, which goes and does it''s thing, storing results in an array of response objects (the array is an attribute of the worker). the response object

I''ve run into a problem on one of my development machines. I''m trying to run multiple rails apps on one dev machine that runs Windows. Problem is that is seems that I can only run one scgi_service at a time, meaning that only one of my apps will function at a time. Anyone know how I can get around this, other than getting a *nix box (which I should have soon, hopefully) ?

Hi, I have an app - a first cut ROR - so it''s a bit of a mess. I''m now trying to clean it up. The app relies on a heap of look-up tables that are, by and large, static. I''m wondering where and how to initialise these collections once - so that I don''t have to keep hitting the database every time I start a new action. Can I initialise the collections at the

Hi All, I''m using Backgroundrb as a general purpose long-running-task back-end (upload processing, email sending, etc), and it''s been a great solution. However I''ve recently run into some some intermittent connection issues that have me baffled. I''m running on apache2/fcgid and the problem occurs in both devlopment and production mode. The problem seems to

I was talking to a friend of mine who''s developing PHP on trax and we came up with a solution to the ruby session file problem. I''m not sure if this idea has come up before, so I wanted to run it by everyone before making any code contributations and/or talking to the Rails core about it. It seems to me that the current situation we''re in with regard to

All, Just musing about this whole FastCGI thing (that I hadn''t even thought of since 1999 when looking at OpenMarket for a customer and even then it was "old"), and wondering when we might see projects/products that attempt to provide Ruby application services in a J2EE-like container. I see the Cerise project - any interesting information on that? I''m assuming

Some days I wonder why I even bother with puppet. --- classes: - datacentre::new_york - role::appserver - elements::tfel0 environment: production: parameters: < set key/value pairs here > class ldap { < do some stuff that behaves slightly differently between different data centers > } class role::appserver { include ldap } So, I wanted to set some variables in the

Hello, The company that I work for will be developing a large webbased survey (for a government institution) somewhere in Q1/Q2 of 2006. I''m investigating the technological possibilities and Rails is certainly a candidate. The survey application will have to perform under very high peak load, and the exact specifications of the hardware are not known at this point. I''m assuming

Friends- I''m happy to annouce the first alpa release of BackgrounDRb. This is a small framework for managing long running background tasks that allows for ajax progress bars and more. It also serves as an Application wide cache and context store for when you need something like sessions but shared between users and multiple backend processes like fcgi''s or mongrels.

I am running puppet 3.1.1 and have a site.pp which roughly looks like this site.pp: node basenode { include common } node ''server1'' inherits basenode { include role::appserver } node ''server2'' inherits basenode { include role::webserver } And my common module includes lots of different types of classes for creating base directories, adding in

I''m looking for ideas on how you would implement a controller/view in Rails that needs to show the progress of a possibly 2-3 minute operation. For example the user wants to generate 100 reports that will take about 3 minutes. I would like to have a page that would indicate that the operation is taking place as well as showing progress as to how far along. With basic CGI you could

I know that Mongrel is a web server that hosts rails applications. But i don''t understand what part Lighttpd (or Apache) has in the setup. I know that you can use Mongrel on its own. What does Lighttpd improve on? Thanks, Chris -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I found many references on the Web to the fact that "Rails is not thread-safe". However, I have not found an explanation _why_ it isn''t? What happens if multiple requests are handled concurrently by ActionPack? Assuming that the code I execute in my controller methods is thread safe, is this ok? If not -- what happens? The following makes it sound like the issue is

Running rails, lighttpd and scgi. If I use only one listener is it right that the server will only be able to serve one request at a time? I have one action that takes a long time to complete (makes a system call to a java app), when this action is being called the whole server seems to be locked, however, all other requests (from other clients) that come in during this period are being qeued

I just switched to Mongrel, and it''s been working much better than my previous lighttpd/fastcgi setup. So thanks for the awesomeness. My current problem: once or twice an hour, I get following error in production Mongrel timed out this thread: too many open files I never get it in testing or on our staging server. Any ideas what would cause that? It doesn''t *appear*
