When I use pp on an object in rails, it prints out a nice string representation of the object. I am trying to pass objects from one server to another and I am wondering if I can just pass this string and create an object on the other server. Any libraries/functions out there that can do this? Or any other way to do this (not necessarily using pp).

Right now I am just creating a pipe-delimited string of the object attributes. Then the other server takes that string, splits it on | and populates a new object. Really I am just wondering if there is a one liner from a library where I can do this. JSON, etc.. would be overkill, since I can easily do it with a pipe-delimited string. I might just code a utility to do this with the pp string unless someone has some code that already does this. let me know.. thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Here is the full implementation in case anyone is interested.
Server 2 needs to get a widget object from server 1
Server 1 code
--------------
WidgetController
def show_widget_yaml
@widget = Widget.find(params[:id])
render :layout => false
end
show_widget_yaml.rhtml
<%=YAML.dump(@product)%>
Server 2 code
------------
def show
client = HTTPClient.new
response =
client.get(''http://www.server1/widgets/show_widget_yaml''+params[:id])
yaml_string = response.body.content
@product = Product.new
@product = YAML.load(yaml_string)
end
