Rails - Jan 2006 - How do can I use XmlRpc with my AWS?

In my tests, I want to invoke my webservice not using the default SOAP 
protocol, but using XmlRpc ... how do I do that?

I don''t think that invoke actually uses either of SOAP *or* XML-RPC to
actually run the test -- I think it just sets the appropriate environment
and runs the controller method.  The assumption, I guess, is that everything
between the socket and the method invocation (via SOAP or XML-RPC) has been
tested to death and can be assumed to work, and it''s only your
controller
code that''s potentially dangerous.  <grin>

If you have a real desire to run your code via XML-RPC, I think you''ll
need
to start the server manually and then run some hand-crafted test code that
uses the Ruby XML-RPC client library.  But I don''t see the point in the
general case.

Ok - Well, I suppose that is good and bad. Good that it all gets tested 
by the framework itself, but a bummer that my method throws up an error 
when I invoke it using SOAP, but works just fine using XmlRpc. SOAP 
throws this error:


"Cannot map Array to SOAP/OM."

I am returning [[User]]

XmlRpc doesn''t have a problem with my method.

Any ideas?
