Rails - May 2006 - Getting a list of available methods from ActionWebService

Hi all,

I dug around a bit, may have missed it.

Is there a method automatically generated by ActionWebService (or
XMLRPC::Server) that a client can use to list all available service
methods (perhaps along with docs)?  Or do I have to roll that myself?

Thanks,

Dan

Just a quick follow-up.  Calling ''system.ListMethods'' does
*not* work:

ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/client.rb:414:in `call'': no such web service
''system'' (XMLRPC::FaultException)

It doesn''t appear that ActionWebService is using XMLRPC::Server as I
thought it did.  Any chance of implementing some free
inspection/list/help functions under ''system'' for
ActionWebService?

Thanks,

Dan
