Roy, thanks!! That did help. I also found that a solution to my problem: I used a singleton connection manager. This avoided all my problems. :)
I have a question regarding thread safety, but I think I'll post a new thread for it. The general gist is: if I have a singleton class (by using the Singleton mixin), I understand it's thread-safe in that it ensures only a single instance of this class will be created. BUT (in theory), the instance methods of my singleton instance could be accessed concurrently by various threads, thus causing a concurrency issue. Right? BUT Rails is essentially single-threaded (only a single request processed at a time), so if I have only a single call to my singleton instance per http request, then it should be impossible to get concurrency problems with it. Right? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
