Actually I have considered creating/converting these integration

Rails app
without the use of a server which I really don’t need.
What's your development platform? There's really nothing special
about a server. I run personal rails apps on my laptop, in my case
under OS X, using passenger and apache, but I've done similar things
on a linux development machine before.
On OS X, the passenger preference pane makes this dead easy, and
passenger runs the rails app on demand, and shuts it down when it's
been idle.
I think the OP means he doesn't know how to run his code in the rails
app without firing up a web server.
Carl, You need to take a look at script/runner which will show you how
to do it. I personally would build my own app from a blank slate as
I'd prefer it to be less cluttered, but if you're used to running in
the rails environment, then go for it.

My company only uses Windows so deployment is probably Apache/Mongrel
or Glassfish with JRuby.
Creating my own app by just including ActiveRecord is what I have done
in the past, but while reading the RSpec book I noticed all the nice
support using rpec-rails and wondered if I could use that and if so the
rpec-rails functionality "seems" somewhat dependent on Rails convention
and directory structure.
I think I will abandon the idea of running a rails app outside of a app
server - while it probably can be done I would be out on an island. I'm
still debating whether to make this a Rails app with a server for
reasons stated above or just a ruby app with activerecord and hopefully
the use of some of the features offered by rpec-rails.
I guess this all seems rather confusing but such is the world of
integration.
