The shopify API has this same issue, the solution there is to dynamically switch out the site in a before_filter / at the start of every delayed_job worker. It's not an ideal solution but it's way easier than doing dynamically named classes. > Questions: > * Is there a reason it can't/shouldn't be an instance variable? What would the api look like here?

Take a look at how the shopify API works, it's been really really nice to deal with, and while switching out the site in a filter isn't the coolest-looking solution, it's similar to using multiple database connections in an AR app. > Thanks, > -- Chad > > -- > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ruby on Rails: Core" group. > To post to this group, send email to rubyonrails-c...@googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > rubyonrails-core+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/rubyonrails-core?hl=en. > > > -- Cheers Koz -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
