From: Doug Livesey Date: 2007-08-24T16:04:14+09:00 Subject: Advice on bulding a web service Hallo. I need to build a web server (it'll be RESTful & everything), but am not sure about the best way to proceed. It will be a single instance app, that needs to strictly control concurrency, ie only one instance of an object can be manipulated at once. The built-in web service support of a full-fledged Rails app is not what I'm after. Basically, I want to be able to set the service going, then have other apps calling it (I'll probably use JSON) for data. At first, setting it off in a command prompt will do (sadly, I work in Windows). What I'm after, really, is advice on the best libraries to use, and maybe pointers to tutorials that achieve the sort of thing that I'm after. Thanks in advance, Doug. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
