= RingyDingy
RingyDingy is a little boat that keeps your DRb service afloat!
Rubyforge Project:
http://rubyforge.org/projects/seattlerb
Documentation:
ri RingyDingy
== About
RingyDingy automatically registers a service with a RingServer. If
communication between the RingServer and the RingyDingy is lost, RingyDingy
will re-register its service with the RingServer when it reappears.
Similarly, the RingServer will automatically drop registrations by a RingyDingy
that it can't communicate with after a short timeout.
== Installing RingyDingy
Just install the gem:
$ sudo gem install RingyDingy
== Using RingyDingy
You'll need a Rinda::RingServer, you can download one here:
http://segment7.net/projects/ruby/drb/rinda/ringserver.rb
Once you've got that running you can have a service register itself:
require 'rubygems'
require 'ringy_dingy'
require 'my_drb_service'
my_drb_service = MyDRbService.new
RingyDingy.new(my_drb_service).run
DRb.thread.join
