execute rake task from .war

Question

Is it possible to execute rake task from warbled rails project?

I have a warbled rails project deployed to JBoss. I need to run a mailer in background. What is best way to do it?

Answer 1

At this point, it's probably easiest to unpack the war and have a script inside that sets the classpath and uses the included jruby jars.

There is a feature request with some ideas and a code fork. I hope we can have this built in eventually.
