Documentation

Installation

You'll need following prerequisites first:

Next, in your Gemfile add:

gem 'm2r'

And finally run:

bundle install

Guides

Running Rack Application

Gemfile

Add m2r to Gemfile and run bundle install

Mongrel 2

Configure Handler for your application:

rack_example = Handler(
  send_spec  = "tcp://127.0.0.1:9997",
  send_ident = "14fff75f-3474-4089-af6d-bbd67735ab89",
  recv_spec  = "tcp://127.0.0.1:9996",
  recv_ident = ""
)

Start

[bundle exec] rackup -s mongrel2 application.ru

Add -O option_name to provide options for m2r handler:

[bundle exec] rackup -s mongrel2 another.ru -O recv_addr=tcp://127.0.0.1:9995 -O send_addr=tcp://127.0.0.1:9994

Options

  • recv_addr - This is the send_spec option from Handler configuration in mongrel2.conf. Default: tcp://127.0.0.1:9997
  • send_addr - This is the recv_spec option from Handler configuration in your mongrel2.conf. Default: tcp://127.0.0.1:9996
  • factory - Use it to load custom ConnectionFactory that implements rules for ZMQ connections to Mongrel 2.

Custom Connection Factory

ZMQ allows to set multiple options and connect to large number of endpoints. Providing every ZMQ option for handler connections would be troublesome. Instead you can use your custom implementation that deals only with that fact.

Automatic require of custom connection factory

The first way to do it is to implement custom class in a file that can be required with m2r/connection_factory/custom_name. The location of such file might depends on how $LOAD_PATH is configured but for standard Rails application or gem that would like to depend on m2r it would be: lib/m2r/connection_factory/custom_name.

Implement the Factory in the file:

module M2R
  class ConnectionFactory
    # Just exemplary implementation ...
    class CustomName < ConnectionFactory
      def initialize(options)
        # OpenStruct with rackup options for the handler (added with -O)
        @options = options
      end

      def connection
        request_socket = @context.socket(ZMQ::PULL)
        request_socket.connect("tcp://127.0.0.1:2222")
        request_socket.setsockopt(ZMQ::RECONNECT_IVL, 5)

        response_socket = @context.socket(ZMQ::PUB)
        response_socket.connect("tcp://127.0.0.1:3333")
        response_socket.setsockopt(ZMQ::HWM, 100)
        response_socket.setsockopt(ZMQ::RECONNECT_IVL, 5)

        Connection.new(request_socket, response_socket)
      end
    end
  end
end

Use connection_factory option to select it.

[bundle exec] rackup -s mongrel2 another.ru -O connection_factory=custom_name
Manual require of factory

Implement custom factory in a file like in a previous paragraph.

Load the file using -r option for rackup and use connection_factory option.

[bundle exec] rackup -r custom_name.rb -s mongrel2 another.ru -O connection_factory=custom_name

Processing HTTPS requests from Mongrel2 1.7

Set HTTPS env to true.

HTTPS=true [bundle exec] rackup -s mongrel2 application.ru

For Mongrel2 1.8 and newer this is not necessary.

Developing custom bare Handler

TBD

Versioning

Starting from version 0.1.0 this gem follows semantic versioning policy.

Usage/Examples

  • examples/http_0mq.rb is a test little servlet thing (based on what comes with mongrel2)
  • examples/lobster.ru is a rackup file using the Rack handler that'll serve Rack's funny little lobster app
