Hi rails people, I have been experiencing a problem lately with my rails app. I send xml documents to a rails server through POST requests from a curl client. The request contains an XML document that has been properly escaped using entity escapement rules from the XML definition: each escaped entity is replaced by "&nn;". The documents POST to the server just fine unless the

I am working on an application where the client sends an xml string. I was planning on using REXML and reading the raw post data. Then I noticed that if the content type is text/xml, rails parses the xml into the params hash. However, it chokes on attributes in the xml such as the xml below, throwing an error that it can''t typecast the attribute value in line 99 of cgi_methods.rb

I''m really new to Ruby on Rails, and I''m trying to read an XML file with REXML. No matter what I try, I am only getting the last result returned from my query. I should be getting 365 results. Here is the code: include REXML require ''rexml/document'' require ''rexml/xpath'' class MakeFootprintController < ApplicationController def index

Hi I have the following xml string that I have loaded into an REXML object as shown below. #xml stuff for saveRoute require ''rexml/document'' include REXML Xml = "<test> <name>sam</name> <description>this is a test</description> <description>this is a test2</description> </test>" XmlObject = Document.new(Xml)

How to read a xml file? I have this XML source: ------------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <fichas> <ficha> <nombre>Gabriel</nombre> <apellido>Molina</apellido> <direccion>Alfredo Vargas #36</direccion> </ficha>

Hello, yes it''s another ruby-nuby question but i cant find the right docs so I hope either someone has an answer or can provide links to what i havent been able to find. I am trying to call a wsdl web service running on .net server with a ruby client. I can make the request and with a wiredump I see the SOAP request and responce XML files, the files are correct but I am not sure

Why can it not find my object? What am i missing here? Here is my code: require ''rexml/document'' include REXML # classes to represent the objects and relationships in the xml file class Article attr_accessor :id, :post, :archive, :ntype, :head, :blurb, :body, :fblurb, :fimage, :att, :source, :copy, :brand end # the base parser class BaseXMLParser def initialize(filename)

Hi! I''m new with Ruby On Rails, so I don''t really know how I can get this fixed. As a result of a program, I''ve got +/- 20 XML files, and I would like to import them to my sqlite3 database. Each XML-file having it''s own table. Now I think I need to read the xml-files first and process them later. I''ve done some research and found REXML, but I

Not really a solution, but this has to be a classic example of PHP- programmer-bass-ackwardness. They''re already writing to an extensible serialization format (XML) but then just whack language-specific serialized data in instead. That''s right up there with the HTTP-over- SOAP-over-HTTP stuff I''ve seen floating around... --Matt Jones On Sep 24, 9:14 am, Andy

Hi. Im quite new to this Rails thing, but it seems like a good product so why not try it out whit a little prototype i need to build.

Hi, After following the excellent tutorials in the Agile Web Development with Rails book, I was able to get my webservice working pretty much perfectly :) I can access it via SOAP and XML-RPC and look at service.wsdl to find the API. What I can''t do however is get the API for the XML-RPC call. It fails with : Internal protocol error: NilClass is not a valid input stream. It must

I''m trying to write some rails metal code to handle a large XML file post, but I''m receiving a 500 from my server. If I use a POST but don''t provide a file to upload, everything works and I receive a 200 response, but if I provide a file (the -d flag with curl), I receive a 500. Here''s the curl command I''m using: curl -siX POST

I wrote a rexml script that parses rather big xml files (DOM parsing) and builds an object out of them. This is what it looks like after i parse the xml file and display the object: [#<Article:0xb79e7428 @brand="This is a story from ", @id=5337, @fblurb="burb", @ntype="news type here", @copy="Copyright \302\251 2006 ", @source="source",

Hi All, I''m trying to return XML from a Rails view of an object I built up using Builder::XmlMarkup and I find an annoying side effect is that I get an extra <to_xml/> or <to_s/> element back which makes REXML hiccup thinking I''m adding a recond root element when I try to parse the return. How can I return the XML without this last element? Thanks, Vince

Got a question hopefully someone can answer - I am working on functionality to match on certain nodes of a largish (65mb) xml file. I implemented this with REXML and was 2 minutes and counting before I killed the process. After this, I just opened the console and loaded the file into a string and did a regex search for my data -- the result was almost instantaneous. The question is, if I can get

Hi One of our customers has a Filemaker database which needs to be accessed for some data. Using the Web Companion, I can query the database for an XML version of the data. I need to be able to push this data into an array of hashes, so I can access it in a more convenient way. Filemaker is able to provide me with 2 XML formats (DSO-XML and FMP-XML): *********** DSO-XML ***********

Ok, how does everyone else do transactions in development mode? If I get a exception within a transaction, I get the ruby exception screen, I want rails to complete the block code, and then rollback the transaction. Is there a way to disable the exception screen before the transaction, and then enable it after the transaction? Thanks! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You
