Hi all, The Rails book talks about running Rails under Apache, but is there a (relatively) easy way to deploy it to either Tomcat or JBoss? Is the CGI servlet the only option?

Here''s something that caused me a couple of hours of head-scratching today: Apparently, if your model doesn''t derive from ActiveRecord, it is NOT reloaded for each operation in the development environment. I was working with something that uses a single model per session, and stores its data in the session. I kept wondering why I didn''t see my changes. Finally, I

I want to build an application that has the concept of administrative domains. What I mean by this is that administrators have access to different data, based on what domains they are a member of. The domain strucutre is hierarchical. Here is an example: - MLB - AL - East - Yankees - Red Sox ... + Central + West - NL + East + Central + West Now

Hi -- My book "Ruby for Rails" is now being released one chapter at a time through the Manning Early Access Program, with the whole book due to appear on May 1.

If not, there are still interesting aspects of Ruby to be gleaned from here that will no doubt be further highlighted as the book progresses. Ken Kousen -- Kenneth A.

...oller methods there. Still, it''s a great tool to have handy. In summary, for me at least this was the best chapter of the book so far and also showed how this book is different from all the other Rails books currently available.

Hi, I''ve started reading some Java books. Gasp! What makes website development with Java so bad? I haven''t looked at Struts but I''m reading about Hibernate. Compared to ActiveRecord, Hibernate seems like some extra typing to explicitly define the model fields, getters and setters. I know that these are things that you can do in ActiveRecord when things get complicated
