Rails - Jan 2006 - activewebservice::struct

So I''m playing with AWS.  I''ve got a thing called a gallery. 
I''d like
to return a list of them.  I can do this fine if I want to return my
ActiveRecord objects:

class WxApiApi < ActionWebService::API::Base
  api_method :list_galleries,
             :expects=>[{:login=>:string}],
             :returns => [[Gallery]]
end

But the ActiveRecord object exposes a lot more than I really want to
return via the web service.  So I''m told I should dervice something
from
ActiveWebService::Struct, which I did:

class awsGallery < ActionWebService::Struct
   member :id, :int
end

I can''t for the life of me get this to work.  I''ve called it
awsGallery.rb and stuck it in app/models.  I''ve changed the web service
accordingly:

class WxApiApi < ActionWebService::API::Base
  api_method :list_galleries,
             :expects=>[{:login=>:string}],
             :returns => [[awsGallery]]
end

I get various errors:

awsGallery is not a valid base type

Any idea what I''m doing wrong?

TIA,

dizave

Dizave,

Class names in Ruby need to be constants (capitalized).  Also try
naming your file aws_gallery.rb.


class AwsGallery < ActionWebService::Struct
  member :id, :int
end

class WxApiApi < ActionWebService::API::Base
 api_method :list_galleries,
            :expects=>[{:login=>:string}],
            :returns => [[AwsGallery]]
end
