Backgroundrb devel - Mar 2007 - example standalone error.

Hello,

Trying to get the example to work in standalone mode.  I have the following
in a file and am not certain why I get this undefined method error:

error:
~/ruby sample_app.rb
my sample app :)
sample_app.rb:9: undefined method `new_worker'' for
BackgrounDRb::MiddleMan:Class (NoMethodError)

### code follows ###
# sample_app ... try to get stand-alone happiness.
#require ''release-0.2.1/lib/backgroundrb''
#MiddleManDRbObject.init(:uri
=>''drbunix:///tmp/backgroundrbunix_localhost_2000'')

require ''backgroundrb/middleman''
include BackgrounDRb
puts ''my sample app :)''

key = MiddleMan.new_worker(:class => :example_worker)
worker = MiddleMan.worker(key)
worker.other_method
worker.delete

# now that my job is done (and my worker is actually deleted on the server)
view
# my results ... cause now I''lm interested.
p worker.results.to_hash
puts ''bye bye :)''

I kinda confused because most of the examples online and in /examples assume
that one is using Rails for this.  Its kind of difficult to see exactly
where require or init calls need to go.

regards,
David G.

For standalone mode you have to do something like this:

MiddleMan = BackgrounDRb::MiddleManDRbObject.init(:uri
=>''drbunix:///
tmp/backgroundrbunix_localhost_2000'')


MiddleMan.new_worker
