Rails 3.1: Engine vs. Mountable AppI have noticed the following: Full Engine With a full engine, the parent application inherits the routes from the engine. It is not necessary to specify anything in parent_app/config/routes.rb. Specifying the gem in Gemfile is enough for the parent app to inherit the models, routes etc. The engine routes are specified as: # my_engine/config/routes.rb Rails.application.routes.draw do # whatever end
