I''d like to know if there is any way to accept a CDATA block as a parameter to an ActionWebService API method. I''d like to have something like this, class MyAPI < ActionWebService::API::Base api_method :test, :expects => [:cdata] end The client would pass "<![CDATA[ ...blah blah... ]]>" as the parameter to the method, test. Perhaps I need to specify :string as the expected type and somehow tell the parsing library to interpret the string as CDATA?

So I''m told I should dervice something from ActiveWebService::Struct, which I di...

For communication between application and GUI we decided to use an API. So basically what I need is a way to have our models functionality accessible by the GUI. The basic idea: Rails app provides API for models <-> HTTPS Connection <-> GUI

I''m trying to use the feature of AWS where it will take an object derived from ActiveRecord::Base instead of an AWS::Struct object. Whenever I try it, though, I get the craziest error: NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! The error occured while evaluating nil.new /usr/lib/.../actionwebservice/lib/action_web_service/casting.rb:105:in

...#39;d like to do the same for the API''s, but can''t quite get there. If I try the same logic as above then when I go to /api/invoke all the methods show up as being of the "WebService" class. Right now I''ve got this and it works. I''d like to move that api_method line into a common file though. Since subclassing the Api''s another level didn''t work I''ve tried both require and load, but require doesn''t work at all, and load gives me an unknown method error for Object#api_method. -------------------------------------------...

I''m currently writing an app that provides a Web Service. I''ve got a model Header and an associated has_one HeaderImage and I''m trying to find a way to make this data available. Defining a normal API: api_method :header, :expects => [{''id'' => :int}], :returns => [Header] Only returns the header object without associations, has anyone got experience with using the Struct class?
