Hi,

my RoR application should load some ruby code which is dynamic created  
outside of the RoR application. In a RoR helper Iuse the ruby “load”  
Method. On my development environment anything works fine but when I  
run the app on production the ruby source file isn’t loaded again - a  
cached copy is used.

When I start/stop mongrel the file is new loaded.

Where is my mistake here?

Thanks in advance  
frank

Hi Frank,
