From: Stefan Arentz Date: 2004-11-05T19:48:43+09:00 Subject: Ruby Application Server? IoC containers seem to be the new hype in the ruby world. I count at least 4 now. All great but just a bare bones container doesn't cut it. What I am looking for is a simple framework that can: Run servlets: I really like webrick. It would be great if this were part of a larger framework like I am describing here. Host Web Services: Is there a way to code a generic object and then drop it in somewhere to turn it into a SOAP or XML-RPC service? Run periodic tasks: To hell with cron, What I need is a solid timer facility that is integrated in the component model. S.
