Resolve Weborb for Rails’ dependencies error in one statement!
WebORB is a best start framework for everyone who need to integrate their Adobe Flash or Adobe Flex product to the other server platform except Adobe ColdFusion. For me, it made me a money from 2 projects already. 
But you may found that when you choose WebORB for Rails to integrate your nice flashy web application with a popular web framework like Ruby on Rails, especially with version 2.2.x+. You may scream after you install WebORB’s plug-in via following script and then run the server again to test something:
>ruby script/plugin install http://themidnightcoders.net:8089/svn/weborb
These exception below will make you scream:

That is, I screamed with you too. But after trying to find the solution. I just found a simple solution to past this annoying problem, posted by Mr. Davevil.
- Open file:
init.rb in /vendor/plugins/weborb/init.rb - Replace following statement: Dependencies.mechanism = :load
- With this statement: ActiveSupport::Dependencies.mechanism = :load
Then save it, and run your server again. I drank a big class of Coca-Cola for this succeed.
