Hello,

It seems I need to restart webrick everytime I modify a module in order  
for my modifications to be taken into account. Is this normal and is  
there a workaround?

Regards,

Development is default mode. I noticed also that in development mode I  
have to restart webrick if I modified classes outside app folder.

hope that helps,

I’m sure I am in dev mode, because the production database doesn’t  
exist. The module is beneath app folder. Actually, what is the right  
place for a module?
