Rails - Jun 2007 - Expect an array in webservice gives "Not supported" message

I am trying to expect an array of strings in the webservice api. It says
"Typed array input fields not supported yet".
Can anybody suggest me how I can expect an array in action_webservices.

The code is as given below.

class SendInvitesApi < ActionWebService::API::Base
  api_method  :send_mails,
              :expects  =>  [:invitation_details =>
InvitationDetailsVO],
              :returns  =>  [:string]
end

class InvitationDetailsVO < ActionWebService::Struct
  member :names, [:string]    ##This is an array of strings.
end


THNX in advance.....

:expects  =>  [:invitation_details => InvitationDetailsVO],

I''m not sure that you''re allowed to tell the api to expect an
object
defined elswhere, I think it has to be one of the allowed xml types. 
Plus, what you''ve defined here is not an array because :expects needs
an
array anyway if you see what I mean. Try:

:expects => [[:invitation_details => :string]]

Which will get your api to accept an array of strings. Your :returns 
method there returns a single string as it stands. If you want to return 
an array of strings use [[:string]].

PS. the AWS::Struct stuff is to allow to *return* structures not defined 
as models. Not to accept them. Plus, in the case you have quoted about 
you don''t need to use a struct because you only have one member which
is
a normal type (array of string).
