Im trying to create an api, and Im having trouble getting ActionController to not run the raw post data through Hash#from_xml (request.parse_formatted_request_parameters) for the XMLRPC post data. I essentially want it to run through XMLRPC::XMLParser::REXMLStreamParser.new.parseMethodCall(request.raw_post). However, I can''t figure out a clever, clean way to get request.request_parameters to not run since it ca...

Hi, to serialize an array to xml we can use: an_array = [ 1, 2, 3] an_array.to_xml But to I can''t find a way to convert back XML to array. I didn''t find a method Array.from_xml like Hash.from_xml. Any ideas? Thanks, Gustavo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

...s a solved issue in Rails 3: https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/3812-collection-root-for-enumerable-to_json But how is this being taken care of exactly? It seems like, for consistency''s sake, we''d want the structure of JSON serialization to be as close to Hash#from_xml''s output as possible. This is the state of affairs with 3.0.0.beta2 (the last two expressions are the most important for this discussion): Loading development environment (Rails 3.0.0.beta2) irb(main):001:0> foo = Thing.first => #<Thing id: 1, name: "foo"> irb(main):...

Hello, I have two ActiveRecord classes. One is Route the other is Waypoints. I have constructed an XML representation so I can use AJAX to create a Route with all waypoints in a single create call to RouteController. When I call Route.from_xml(xmlString) it is not returning an object - it''s leaving the object (@route) nil, but not erroring. Any ideas? Here''s some code: RoutesController: def create @route = nil; if params[:requestXML] # unserialise from XML using ROXML @route = Route.from_xml(pa...

Hi, I''ve started looking at ticket 90<http://merb.devjavu.com/projects/merb/ticket/90>and there are a couple of situations that the current implementation doesn''t cater for. 1. Tag Attributes are wiped out. - <tag1 attr1=''1''>Content</tag1> #=> { "tag1" => "Content" } - I think it should return -

How they differ? Does the to_xml method of the classes array/hash/object is based on ROXML lib? As I see in http://roxml.rubyforge.org/#quickstart, roxml needs we define the class (class Book in the guide) before to convert a object to xml. Moreover, the method to_xml (when not using "include ROXML") just accepts any existing object, what is much suitable. I need to compare and tranfer

The following construct is an ActiveSupport-ism: returning(Foo.new) do |foo| ... end I don''t especially like it, since it''s both more verbose and less efficient than the direct alternative: foo = Foo.new ... foo It doesn''t occur many times in Merb, so does anyone agree with me that it should be removed? I tried doing this (patch attached) and I find

I''m using Jim Weirich''s Builder library. The code I want to spec is xml.video do xml.id @video_id xml.views @views xml.date(@date.to_s) if @date end I''d like to mock it, rather than asserting that the XML is the right string. I can do one spec: specify "should create a video tag" do @mock_builder.should_receive(:video)

20 / 20 hind sight, I would probably do things different today but I have most of my active record classes under different parent classes. For example: module Foo class Bar < ActiveRecord::Base ... end end The to_xml for this produces <foo/bar> .... </foo/bar> The / in a tag name is not allowed. Questions: 1) Is this a bug? 2) If so, suggestion of what to convert it to?

Hi everyone, I''m writing a lightweight AJAX application using Rails on the server side as a RESTful web service provider. I need the web service to support both JSON and XML I/O. Outputting data in XML and JSON is easy (using to_xml and to_json), and it''s also easy to do XML input as Rails does it for you automatically. Is it possible to somehow have the same automatic parsing

I''ve notice that a project like Rubinius has both a spec & a test directory. Rspec has only a spec directory. Obviously I support BDD, but isn''t there also a place for state based/verification testing? I sometimes sense that I *do* want to practice Test Driven Development. That is, I want some assurance that my production code will run as intended. But I also

Sorry, lots of questions these days. Is there a normal approach for preconditions? In JUnit, I might put a few assertions in the setUp() just to make sure that the test ''data'' I''ve created meets expectations before going to test it. So, for instance, I''ve got an object that is audited using acts_as_audited and I''d like to test the XML that results
