Section 3.4. Supported Frameworks

3.4. Supported Frameworks

If you are using one of the popular Ruby application frameworks, Mongrel may already support it. More developers are writing handlers to load their own frameworks, so if you use a framework or library that is not listed here, take a look at how handlers work in Section 6.

3.4.1. Ruby on Rails

Mongrel has excellent Ruby on Rails support. Most Mongrel users are Rails developers, so the best plugins, handlers, and documentation are all for Rails applications and deployments. See the Mongrel Web site (http://mongrel.rubyforge.org) for details on any limitations or caveats with Rails.

3.4.2. Iowa

Iowa is supported on Mongrel. See the Iowa Web site (http://enigo.com/projects/iowa/index.html) for details.

3.4.3. Camping

Camping, the micro-framework for Ruby Web applications, is supported (and is fed fresh salmon weekly) on Mongrel. See the Camping Web site (http://camping.rubyforge.org) for more details.

3.4.4. Og/Nitro

Nitro is supported on Mongrel. See the Nitro Web site (http://www.nitroproject.org/) for more details.
