Hello all, I am so confusing about web services on Rails, can we use REST approach for WEB SERVICES on Rails. If we use REST Approach Which one is the best one ??? REST or SOAP or WSDL ???? are is there any other process for web services on rails?? I want to learn about web services on Rails, Can you suggest me books or links for that. or Any Examples for web services on Rails.

Well personally speaking we use REST serialising to XML or JSON (we much prefer JSON). It''s probably not text book web services but our clients have no problem using them. We only use SOAP for legacy services and then we tend to proxy them through REST XML because it''s much easier to use. Once we have a SOAP client or server working we are too afraid to touch it incase it breaks :( On 5 February 2013 15:19, Walter Lee Davis <waltd-HQgmohHLjDZWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Older book, but very useful anyway: Service-Oriented Design with Ruby and > Rails by Paul Dix (Addison/Wesley). > > Walter > > On Feb 5, 2013, at 10:16 AM, BalaRaju Vankala wrote: > > > Hello all, > > > > I am so confusing about web services on Rails, can we use REST approach > for WEB SERVICES on Rails. > > > > If we use REST Approach Which one is the best one ???

As an example we supply live football results so we have a feed like this
/feed/updates.{xml|json}
By calling this feed the client gets a list of matches that have had
something happen in them (goals, cards, substitutions etc) since the last
time they called this feed. By using an optional since parameter they can
control the information that they receive.
So an initial call to /feed/updates.xml will return them a list of matches
something like this
<updates>
<update match="1234" href="/feed/match/1234"/>
<update match="3243" href="/feed/match/3243"/>
<!-- and a whole load more -->
<since href="/feed/updates.xml?since=2013-01-05 13:24:35Z"/>
</updates>
The client then waits a bit (perhaps 5 seconds, perhaps a minute) and then
calls the href attribute of the since element
/feed/updates.xml?since=2013-01-05 13:24:35Z
which will return a buch of xml with a new since element which the client
can call.
We have a feed controller with both an updates method and a match method.
As far as rails is concerned these are just web pages that have the mime
type of text/xml or application/json
Of course there is more to it than this. We also set cache headers to
protect ourselves from clients that think that they need to poll 2 or 3
times a second. We also detect the client and only send them the data that
they want (not all clients are interested in what is happening in the Thai
second division), logging, auditing.
As far was we are concerned these are just web pages. That said 99% of our
feeds are read only so they are simply GET requests on the required url.
Once you start accepting data from clients it gets a little more
complicated, but not much more.
This system serves us well. We supply live feed of scores,
cards, substitutions etc to several UK bookmakers so this can get quite
heavily loaded at times.

XML-RPC (Remote Procedure Call) via SOAP 2. WS-* (Web Services - Deathstar) also via SOAP 3. RESTful (Representation State Transfer) WS-* actually covers both 1 and 2 above, but it was worth pointing out the two basic types, RPC and Document styles. Rails is, and has always been, an opinionated framework and RESTful web services is the clear winner for Rails applications. There is no build-in support for SOAP. There are some third party gems out there if you absolutely, positively, are forced to consume SOAP services. There is far to much to know about web services to try to explain here, but when done correctly, building a Rails application IS building a RESTful web service. However, you will want to consider your application''s design from both the perspective of the web user and any potential web service clients.
