preload_rails is too presumptuous: i.e. loads action_web_service when my environment.rb doesn't want it.

Due to a conflict between and action_web_service and some custom code, we have disabled it in our
code, but the preload_rails function in framework_spawner loads every component of Rails!

This is intended, in order to speed up startup time as well as to reduce memory usage
if there are a multiple Rails applications.

We could provide a config option in the future. But as a temporary workaround, you
can vendor your Rails framework. That'll make Passenger skip the framework spawner.

By the way, I'm curious as to what code conflicts with ActionWebService.

The latest development version (git repository) should solve your problem. By setting
"RailsSpawnMethod" to "conservative", your application should work fine.

But we recommend you to read the manual (in which RailsSpawnMethod is documented).
There are significant benefits to using the default "smart" spawning method (i.e. as
opposed to "conservative"), namely as lower startup time and reduced memory usage.
Although you don't have to, you should consider making your application compatible.

Perhaps we can have a RailsExcludeComponents a, b, c option.

SOAP4r conflicts.

You can use conservative spawning. That option solves your problem completely.

I realize that. However, to take advantage of the "optimized" mode, it would be nice to add that option. I realize
adding one more option means having to maintain that option, but since it's a feature that Rails already offers in
its environment.rb, it would be a nice addition to ModRails. I can help with coming up with a spec if you wish.

I don't know, this sounds too much like a corner case. Wouldn't it be easier for you
to adapt your custom code appropriately?

It's no problem. Most people don't need ActiveResource for example and it would save a bunch of memory
not to have to load it.
