Hi Tim, Good to hear you're finding Jig useful.
There isn't any explicit support for Ring in Jig yet, it's just Pedestal services right now. The separation of jig.web.server and jig.web.app into 2 components is to allow multiple 'virtual hosts' to share the same Jetty server, if necessary. It's a third component, usually your own, that actually adds routes to a virtual host. See the ReadmeComponent in examples/docsite/src/examples/docsite/core.clj here<https://github.com/juxt/jig/blob/master/examples/docsite/src/examples/docsite/core.clj#L75>. It adds routes in its init phase. The idea is that other components can be contribute routes in the same way, so you have the option of breaking up a website into modules. The nice thing about Pedestal services is that hyperlinks can be generated using the url-for functionality it provides. If you use this feature consistently, you can treat the jig.web.app as an anchor on which to hook multiple applications and configure the URL tree accordingly. I'm intrigued by this url-for feature and wanted to experiment with it with Jig. Since Compojure doesn't have this automatic ability to create links from handler vars, it's likely you'll want to set it up manually. Here's a suggestion for how to do this: 1. Create a Ring server component. 2. In the init phase, add an empty vector called :routes. Other components can depend on this one, and in their init phase, they concat their routes to this vector. 3. Then, in its start phase, the Ring server component composes the routes together (using Compojure's routes function) and creates and starts the server, placing the server in the system map so that it can be found and stopped in its stop phase. Remember that you don't need to use any reloading tricks described by Ring<https://github.com/ring-clojure/ring/wiki/Interactive-Development#iii-manually>, such as passing a var to run-jetty rather than the handler itself. Nor do you need :reload and any file status detection. What I really like about Stuart's workflow is that it allows you to do away with these 'dev versus prod' modes, you just code everything in 'prod' mode (i.e. there is only one mode) and let the reset handle the dev reload. This makes code simpler and ensures you are developing and testing what the users get, not a development 'version' that approximates to it.
