This deals with the Rails book, but ActionWebService in general. I''m having trouble getting the Rails book''s example in the Web Service chapter working. Everything else works (all the ''depot'' site features up to that point have been built and work). I don''t think it''s an issue with the book code being wrong, because the ActionWebService API

Hi folks, I need your opinions on a basic design issue. I''ve seen the light of RoR and have replaced my Perl (DBI/CGI) based web server <-> RDBMS communication with RoR, but I still have a whole host of users (other servers/OS''s etc) out there wanting to talk to my RDBMS and they only talk Perl. Also they don''t want to talk Perl/DBI directly (they are not allowed

I have a Red Hat Linux release 7.1 (Seawolf) Samba 2.2.4 PDC and fileserver built with --with-ldapsam. The clients are either win9x or WinY2k. Authenitcation, etc... all works great. But print sharing is a real pain. Under 2.2.1a printing worked great, but our VOIP phone system wouldn't joint the domain until we upgraded to 2.2.4. Initial testing of 2.2.4 made it seem like everything

Hey all. I started asking about this about a week ago, then got so sick I could hardly get out of bed. Now that I' m basically recovered(and no, it wasn't Covid, thank goodness), I want to pick up where left off. I'm about to provision the samba domain for my test setup. As long as that works, the next step is to ensure that information in Samba's LDAP database is properly

I''m trying to connect to a SOAP interface using Rails and I''m running into a snag. I''m relatively new to Rails at this point and am in the very beginning stages of understanding how the system works. Currently I''m running into a error that looks like this: -------------------------------------------- Missing API definition file in apis/amazon_api.rb

I''m building a users web service (direct dispatching) that will (I hope) allow several other applications to manage the same pool of users. Plus it will act as a single-sign-on solution for what I''m doing. But I''m having difficulty accessing the UserAPI. Here''s what I''ve done so far: $> rails usermanagement - "usermanagement" is the

Hi, I''m interested in using a currency conversion web service in my rails app. Does anyone have a free service that they use and like?

I''m trying to use counter_cache, but I''m not doing something right. It is unreliable and I keep having to correct it manually. Is there a good tutorial or reference on how to use it on-line? I have the AWDR book, but I need something more complete. TIA, Jeffrey

Hello, I''m working through the tutorial, and I''ve run into a little snag. In the first part of the tutorial, the destroy link is not working correctly. I can''t figure out where I goofed.

For some time now I try to get my code working. This Monday I switched to RJS (first with 1.0 + plugin) and yesterday to Edge Rails, so I guess I''ve been using the most recent version. I have a div with id="detail" which I want to update with a partial. If I''m using page.replace_html the content will be replaced with text, i.e. the javascript won''t become

Hi Everyone, I''m trying to formulate my thoughts on how views work in RoR and I understand the basic bits - 1. Every controller has its own view defined using rhtml files in the views/[controller_name] folder. 2. There is one "view" file (rhtml) for every in the controller and has the same name as the method. 3. For portions that are common, partials can be used - file

Hi, I''m trying to follow the "AWDR" example of storing certain types of numbers (in my case, percentages not money) as integers in the database. I understand from the Depot application how to format the output to have 2 places (or n places for that matter) decimal. Now, I"m wondering about the input. It''s more natural for people to enter numbers as

I am trying to setup a model class that I want to inherit from ActveRecord when in the test mode, and not inherit when in production and/or development mode. The reason for this is so that I can use fixtures to test that the logic in the model is working correctly, but I don''t want the database table around during production (and normal development). I would like to do this the
