In a servlet J2EE application, there is an init style method that gets called after that servlet is loaded. Is there something similar within a rails controller context.

I want to update my application which was generated with rails 1.0.0 to the new version. My question. I have already updated the ruby gems library and things seem to work.

Well, I wanted to mention my early rails application(in the event I stop working on it). At present it is a link blog, you post a link and now we have a listing of links from different users.

Whenever I log-off of windows xp. I dont lose my mapped drive connection but I get an error message stating an invalid password. I enter the exact same password for the reconnect but it wont stay.

I know this is kind of a generic question. But, when hitting my lighttpd/rails site on some of the first hits, the site hangs. I think it has something with the lighttpd configuration, possibly something I am missing with rails or ruby?

Hi Ezra, Thanks for the great work on BackgrounDRb. I have come across a couple of problems. 1. I wanted to define a simple class in the worker file to wrap up and pass back some data to my controller.

I''ve seen that Rails 1.1 is not reliable with Ruby 1.8.2 so you should upgrade to 1.8.4 I''m running ruby 1.8.3. What''s the story with it? Do I need to upgrade before I try Rails 1.1? Thanks Greg -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century
