Conrad - Forgive me if this is a stupid question (this is my first attempt at deploying a WAR from RoR)...
How can I run a rake command on the Tomcat server? All that is on there is Java / Tomcat / MySQL. Do I have access to rake somehow through the WAR that is deployed? I know the JRuby JAR is in that WAR but was not aware I could run rake tasks that way.
