IoC containers seem to be the new hype in the ruby world. I count at
least 4 now. All great but just a bare bones container doesn't cut
it. What I am looking for is a simple framework that can:

Run servlets:

I really like webrick. It would be great if this were part of a
larger framework like I am describing here.

Host Web Services:

Is there a way to code a generic object and then drop it in somewhere
to turn it into a SOAP or XML-RPC service?

Run periodic tasks:

To hell with cron, What I need is a solid timer facility that is
integrated in the component model.

There is soap4r module. If you need help. Drop me a line if you shoose to use soap. NaHi, the creator of SOAP4r is also a nice fellow to contact. Some people on the list are experienced with soap4r, not many though. What do you plan to create? Oh btw, SOAP4r passed every test unlike others =]

I usually use the cvs snapshot of what NaHi is working on, even in production use.

Have a look here: http://rubyforge.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/pith/example/httpd.rb?rev=1.1&cvsroot=pith&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
Webrick and the servlet run as services inside the Pith container.
