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

Hello All, I am writing a facebook application in ruby on rails, which requires google search in one page. I''ve implemented this using a simple RESTful interface as follows: url = URI.parse( "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/search/ local?v=1.0&q="+params[:keyword] ) req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(url.path+"?"+url.query) res = Net::HTTP.start(url.host,

(Forgive me if this is incorrect, because I recognized this initially as something in Rails 4.0.0.beta1 and have just done a cursory look over the latest generator code.) Noticed in Rails 4 that the test generated for a scaffold controller only tests the html format instead of both html and json:

So I''ve recently started playing with the restful routes support in edge rails, converting a few of my controllers to support all the standard operations.. One thing that''s been bothering me, however, is the following: Before using restul routes, I would define an edit method in my controller which would be responsible for both creating new objects as well as editing

I found myself blocked trying to think of Restful ways of doing things, until I subscribed to the peepcode screencast. Even so, I prefer using regular controllers in the initial stages when evolution of model relationships is not clear in the project. Is this the right way to do things ? I noticed the edge version now uses Restful design by default (in scaffolds, etc). This may turn early

Hi all, I am trying to build a RESTful shopping cart and I have hit a small wall, but before I get to that let me explain what I have done thus far. I have two RESTful controllers, CartController and CartItemsController with a nested routes setup like so map.resources :carts do |carts| carts.resources :cart_items, :collection => {:empty => :delete} end (I added a custom route to

Hi, I''m using Rails 2.1.2. and I wanted to switch ActiveResource format to JSON and thought that it will work smoothly, but unfortunately it wasn''t the case. XML and JSON formats generate different objects: XML version #<User:0xb7658440 @prefix_options={}, @attributes={"created_at"=>Mon Nov 28 11...}> JSON version #<User:0xb746af5c @prefix_options={},

I think it would be super useful to give LNT a RESTful interface. As LNT grows, it would be nice to be able to update some of the pages with Ajax(or json). Especially for pages with long load times, it makes sense to be able to speed up load times, by fetching the data after page load. It would also allow us to build more dynamic pages, and allow non-web clients better structured access to LNT

Hello Friends, What is the best way to send json from your controller, and await for a response? Ajax? Ruby''s net/http? The JSON server that I am sending the request to only accept POST methods, and sends a POST back. If I use Ajax, is it possible to get the POST response? Is there a scriptaculous or YUI function that handles this well? Thank you for your help - Jin

Question, and I''ll preface it by asking if this is the right list to be posting questions regarding anything past Rails 1.1.6 , (i.e. edgerails) ? In the latest revision of AWDWR there is a sample REST based app. During the creation of the controller and actions, there is a foot note that says: "7.

Hi there, One of my app''s actions returns data as a json format. If the data exists, everything works perfect. But if the data is nil, I get the following error. -------------------------------- ActionView::MissingTemplate (Missing template user/show.erb in view path /var/www/my_app/releases/20090110234348/app/views:):

Hi everyone, I would like to add the format and a custom field to all my restful resources, without touching my application (I don''t want to change all url_path to format_url_path to make things clear). For being more specific I want to add :format.:lang to my restful resources, so i can have /posts/1.html.en that map to the english page and /posts/1.html.it that map to the italian one.

Hi everyone. I love JSON and using Prototype has help me reduce the code to handle AJAX responses. But one thing keeps me confused and sometimes even frustrated. I don''t really understand what is going on with the headers, so if someone could take some time to explain what is going on, I (and probably a lot more people) would be very thankful. The thing is this. On my local server (Mac OS

Hi you all, I have two questions regarding a REST app and the XML responses: - Homepage: I want to have a kind of homepage to list all the list of resources the user can access to. I''ve read I can do it with just an index.html. However, my app also offers the response in XML so, what if the client want the XML? Can I have an index.rxml too? In [1], they offer the possibility to have a

I''m trying to use jQuery to write all my js unobtrusively, and running into a bit of a problem when triggering the format.js block in IE6 (and possibly IE7). It returns the JSON string no problem, but instead of parsing it, IE6 asks to download the resource as a .js file. So if my url is ''/pictures/1.js'', IE6 will ask to save or run ''1.js'' I did do
