Now that support for the engine plugin has been incorporated into Rails 2.3, I'm very interested in taking advantage of this functionality. Specifically, I would like to be able to embed one rails application within another. I think this would have tremendous productivity benefits down the road. However, I'm curious how well this actually works in practice and what the real-world limits are. Do Engines in Rails 2.3 work well? Practically speaking, how many apps can be embedded in another app? (I'm not talking about theoretical limits but more real-world practical limits.) Also, what is the best way to handle authorization and authentication? Finally, would I be better off waiting for the Merb Slices functionality to be added to Rails 3 or would starting with Engines now put me in a "better" position when Rails 3 is released? Answers to these questions as well as any other thoughts or experiences would be much appreciated.
