Rails - Apr 2005 - Singleton Scope

What is the scope of a singleton(using include Singleton) within Rails? It
seems that my singletons only stay singletons through the end a request, and
then on the next request they are created anew. Is that the correct
behavior?

Thanks,
Steve

That sounds correct to me--just like class variables are not actually
"stored" anywhere and are created anew on each request, so I imagine
Singleton methods are created anew.  In fact, isn''t it the case that
the whole class structure of the application is re-created for each
request?  I''ve wondered about that, but it seems to be the case since
each change is immediately reflected when I reload the page in my
browser.

This is "shared nothing" - objects (as I know) are not persisted 
between requests, except than in sessions/cookies.
