[ANN] Trinidad 0.7.0 allows to run several Rails application into a single Tomcat container

Trinidad is a library that allows to run Rails and Rack compatible
applications within a single Tomcat container without use war files.

I don’t usually write this kind of mails but someone in the #jruby
channel
told me that he didn’t use my pet project because he didn’t want to run
one
instance by each application. I did some changes and now it also allows
to
run as many Rails applications as you want, or Tomcat supported :), into
the
same container, so one excuse less :).

The application paths have to be specified into a yaml file, like in the
next example, and the server have to be ran with the option --config:

:environment: ‘production’ # global environment for
each application

:web_apps:
:default: # context path is
‘/’
:web_app_dir: ‘rails_apps/mock’
:mock1: # context path is
‘/mock1’

  :web_app_dir: 'rails_apps/mock1'
:mock2:
  :web_app_dir: 'rails_apps/mock2'
  :context_path: '/mock2'

jruby -S trinidad --config path_to_the_config_file.yml
