Hi,
I have built a simple Camping application which indexes an ODBC
datasource using Ferret on startup, then accepts search strings and
renders the resulting hit list in HTML, and it works quite nicely.
The next step was to alternately render the list in XML for consumption
by another application. In Rails, I would simply use Builder in the view
to get the job done, and so I did the same in Camping ... Index_xml is
my view:
def index_xml
@headers[''Content-Type''] = ''text/xml''
xml = Builder::XmlMarkup.new(:target => self)
xml.instruct!
xml.results do
#
# more xml builder stuff here
#
end
end
This works great! After hacking this together, it occurred to me that
Camping/Markaby might have a better way, hence this email.
Any comments/pointers welcome,
Thanks
Neville

dismiss/correct me if i''m wrong/mistaken but camping uses activerecord, can''t you use to_xml ?

I''m getting the search results directly from Ferret, so ActiveRecord is not in the mix -----Original Message----- From: camping-list-bounces at rubyforge.org [mailto:camping-list-bounces at rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of Rodney Ramdas Sent: Thursday, 1 June 2006 5:33 AM To: camping-list at rubyforge.org Subject: Re: Camping and Builder and XML dismiss/correct me if i''m wrong/mistaken but camping uses activerecord, can''t you use to_xml ?
