Rails - Feb 2007 - ActionWebService : decimal is not a valid base type

Hi,

I have searched for an answer to this, and have found a ticket which
seems to address the error:

http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/6676

I am, however, getting a ''decimal is not a valid base type''
error when
trying to return an ActiveRecord model which has a decimal value.

Agile Web Development with Rails v2 does not list decimal as a supported
parameter type. Is decimal supported? If not, how should this be solved?

Thanks,
GiantCranes

Decimal is not a valid base type - use float in your parameter signature.

Thanks. My return type is an array of ActiveRecord objects, and they 
have a decimal type defined. My api_method is:

api_method :get_vehicles, :returns => [[Vehicle]]

Is it possible to override the decimal type at this level? If not, where 
should I do this?

Thanks,
GiantCranes

It''s a bug. I ran into it in rc1 with postgresql and filed a ticket a
while ago.  Been long enough I can''t remember how I worked around it.

Thanks, I notice that it was addressed in changeset 5670 and this
hasn''t
made it into 1.2.1.

http://dev.rubyonrails.org/changeset/5670

I''m not sure what to do now. I could change my db schema to use floats 
instead of decimal. I could also use edge rails. I''m relatively new to 
rails, any suggestions?

Ok, I am going to take a deep breath and jump over onto edge rails.
