I'm down to one missing ingredient before unleashing webservices under a Ruby engine: Is there such a thing as a "servlet container" for Ruby? I'm thinking of things like Jini and Jo! in Java or even Wombat in Perl where you get a high-performance HTTP server that can have Ruby objects plugged in to handle specific URLs. -- Gary Lawrence Murphy <garym / teledyn.com> TeleDynamics Communications Inc Business Innovations Through Open Source Systems: http://www.teledyn.com "Computers are useless.
