Hello, I want to setup a web application that can extract data from a filemaker database, show them in an html table, and persist those data into a mysql database. Since I''m quite new to RoR I do not know where to get started. I will give you guys as much details as possible : Since filemaker has an embedded webserver that supports xml, I can launch this kind of request to the filemaker database : http://localhost/FMPro?-db=XML.fp5&-format=-dso_xml&-find. This gives me the following output : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> - <FMPDSORESULT xmlns="http://www.filemaker.com/fmpdsoresult"> <ERRORCODE>0</ERRORCODE> <DATABASE>XML.fp5</DATABASE> <LAYOUT /> - <ROW MODID="4" RECORDID="1"> <naam>Voets Stefan</naam> <adres>Schrovestraat 3</adres> <postcode>9280</postcode> <gemeente>Wieze</gemeente> </ROW> - <ROW MODID="2" RECORDID="2"> <naam>Vonck Kathleen</naam> <adres>Schrovestraat 3</adres> <postcode>9280</postcode> <gemeente>Wieze</gemeente> </ROW> </FMPDSORESULT> Is there a record oriented api for processing xml (like prax in php), or is there another suggested way of handling things Thanks in advance Stefan
