I use a different approach based on rails applications packaged as gems (I call this Fossilize). Radiant is the first public RoR that takes this approach, from the same codebase/checkout you could serve different "instances" of your application, each one with its own db settings, cache, or plugins. All rake tasks works under that design, so rake db:migrate will work without problems. Also mongrel recognizes it as a true rails application, no problems with your true "application code" came from a gem or a svn checkout. I hooked up a mongrel handler that allow me: 1) download the lastest available gem of my application 2) install it (gem install) 3) stop the application 4) update the instace to use the new version 5) run the database migrations 6) restart the application Hope could release the new Fossilize gem by the end of the year. > > Many thanks for your feedback! > > Just out of curiosity, is your Java web app broken?
