similar to: Sessions in Layered Dispatching

Hi Folks, I''m having trouble with setting up web services with layered dispatching.

I''m building a users web service (direct dispatching) that will (I hope) allow several other applications to manage the same pool of users. Plus it will act as a single-sign-on solution for what I''m doing. But I''m having difficulty accessing the UserAPI. Here''s what I''ve done so far: $> rails usermanagement - "usermanagement" is the

Hello. I hope this is the right place to describe my problem ? After upgrading to Rails version 1.1.2 from rails version 1.0.0, Web Service functional tests seem broken. I upgraded rails (as the root user / administrator) with: # gem update rails --include-dependencies then I upgraded my application (as myself) with: ? rake rails:update % rake rails:update:configs After these steps,

Hello everyone, I am following the Practical Rails: Social Networking sites book. In chapter 7 photo gallery I am getting a NoMethodError in Pages#show Showing layouts/_menu.rhtml where line #12 raised: undefined method `new_entry_path'' for #<ActionView::Base:0x52fa56c> Extracted source (around line #12): 9: <% if is_logged_in? %> 10:

Hi all, I''ve put new code into my app so that an administrator will have extra privileges (administer users, edit pages). The error is: ''Couldn''t find User without an ID'' So the app is looking for a logged in user when the homepage is accessed. Heres my code: site/index view: <% if is_logged_in? and logged_in_user.has_role?(''Moderator'')

Hi all, I am using rails v.2.3.2 and if I put following line to my ApplicationController: include LoginSystem and I moved my login_system.rb to lib folder: module LoginSystem protected def is_logged_in? @logged_in_user = User.find(session[:user]) if session[:user] end def logged_in_user return @logged_in_user if is_logged_in? end def logged_in_user=(user) if

Hi, I am trying to create a basic form in which I want one of the fields initialized before displaying it. My code (in a view) is as follows: <% if ( session[:user_id] != nil ) then logged_in_user = User.find(session[:user_id]) end %> <% form_for :suggestion do |form| %> <label for="suggestion_title">Topic:</label><br/> <%=

Hello! I have certain methods in my Application Controller, that I need to access. Namely ApplicationController#logged_in_user The problem is, that when I try to access it, I get: NoMethodError: protected method `logged_in_user'' called for #<AdminController> Any ideas how I can circumvent that? Or are functional tests really not suited for any kind of logins and session work?

I''m trying to create a simple authentication system but am failing miserably. I''m (sort of) following the "Logging In" chapter of the Agile book. Ideally, any access to http://example.com/publish (and any of its subdirectories) should redirect to http:/example.com/publish/login when there is no valid session user_id. Code so far:

Hi all, We have a controller by name "ServiceController" (service_controller.rb) and everything was fine until we upgraded our rails. We recently upgraded Rails from Rails 1.1.6 to Rails 1.2.3. and after that when we try to invoke the "ServiceController" we are getting an error like this "undefined method find for Service:Module" I guess some namespace collision is

Hi,- I am looking for a clean and secure way for an ActiveRecord instance to delete itself. Say I have a User model in my app. Then the destructive action would be /users/user_id/destroy. If this action is not secured by a filter like: (*) before_filter :check_administrator_role, :only => :destroy then any user could potentially log in and start issuing: /users/1/destroy /users/2/destroy .

API-> hello_message_api.rb. class HelloMessageApi < ActionWebService::API::Base api_method :hello_message, :expects => [{:firstname=>:string}, {:lastname=>:string}], :returns => [:string] end controller -> class HelloMessageController < ApplicationController web_service_api HelloMessageApi web_service_dispatching_mode :direct wsdl_service_name

I am trying to run Mongrel 1.1.5 with mongrel_service 0.3.4 on Ruby 1.8.6 with a "normal" user account, i.e. a user which belongs only to the Windows group "Users". The rationale behind this is that running a web server with full administrative rights (e.g. Local System) is not something that I would like to do. Unfortunately, starting the service from the services control

The docs say that for direct dispatching mode to use controller filters, but when the controller is run I get the following error. The authorize method is in application.rb. Works fine when it''s not a web service api. Should I be using before_invocation instead even with direct dispatching mode? Or can I not have the authorize method in application.rb? undefined method

Are there deltas for the revisions of the PDF version of the Agile book? -- fxn

Hello! I was wondering, sometimes I raise an exception in my Rails apps, e.g.: raise SecurityError unless @post.user == logged_in_user Now: is there any way to catch that SecurityError exception somewhere and render a custom template? E.g., I want to render ''app/views/content/security_error.rhtml'' Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks a bunch, Rob
