similar to: ROXML versus simple to_xml

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:

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, 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. To post to this group, send email

Currently, it appears to_xml will automatically escape any entities into their corresponding &XXX representation. There''s a piece in the documentation that says "If $KCODE is set to u and encoding set to UTF8, then escaping will NOT be performed." Unfortunately, this doesn''t appear to be the case. Even after following the docs and ensuring that default_charset is

The way Rails handles root nodes in JSON and XML serialization is inconsistent. This has been discussed before: https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/tickets/2584-232-activeresource-json-doesnt-send-parameters-with-root-node This seems mostly taken care of with ActiveModel::Base.include_root_in_json, especially if/when it ends up in ActiveResource. However, there is also the issue of how

When I call to_xml on an array, I want it to get the XML for all the elements in it. I''ve defined to_xml in my class. >> r.to_xml => "<video><id>1</id><views>2</views></video>" >> a = [r] => [#<StatisticsReport:0x3259f38 @video_id=1, @views=2>] >> a.to_xml => "<?xml version=\"1.0\"

Since all my efforts to control how to_xml() is formatting dates has failed, I''m now considering writing my own to_xml(). However, from the limited examples I''ve found, I just don''t understand how to actually reference the columns for the records in my record set. Here''s a simplified view of my ActiveRecord object: class Errors < ActiveRecord::Base

Let''s say an app has a User, and a User has many friends. Also, let''s say the app authentication was built on the restful_authentication plugin, and we have email and password in the Users table. The friends controller index might look like this; # GET /users/1/friends # GET /users/1/friends.xml def index @users = @user.friends respond_to do |format| format.html

hi, i am looking for a solution whereupon calling myEntityObject.to_xml does not convert my attributes containing underscores into hyphens. at the moment an attribute named "my_own_attribute" is converted into <my-own-attribute>. does anybody have an idea how to change that and have to_xml generate <my_own_attribute> thanks ciao robertj -- Posted via

For example, let''s say I have a User model with 2 attributes: 1. pw_hash 2. pw_salt I don''t want these to show up in the to_xml method.

I have a unit test that demonstrates some inconsistent behavior with a Hash being converted to XML with the :root option. Sometimes it works fine: Hash.new.to_xml(:root => ''test'') "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>\n<test>\n</test>\n" But sometimes I get an argument error: Hash.new.to_xml(:root =>

I am using image_tag to load an image that I''ve saved to the database (using attachment_fu if you''re curious but that''s probably not relevant here): VIEW <%= image_tag ''/photo/get_image/5'' %> CONTROLLER def get_image @photo=Photo.find(params[:id]) send_data(DbFile.find(@photo.db_file_id).data, :type =>

Hi. I have a question about activerecord, computed columns and to_xml. I have a simple model called person that has a first_name and a last_name field (and thus a first_name and last_name field in the Person table). When I :find a model and call to_xml, I would like the result to not only send back first name and last name as xml but also add an additional attribute called full_name that is

Hi, Found a simple example breaking on moving to 2.2 from 2.0. This example illustrates the usage of nested :include finder options. class Book < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :distributors end class Distributor < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :book has_many :agents end class Agent < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :distributor has_many :shops end class Shop <

Say I want to output XML like this: <myXML> <id>123</id> <fruit>apple</fruit> <fruit>banana</fruit> <fruit>pear</fruit> <fruit>lemon</fruit> </myXML> Is there a way of doing that with to_xml? It seems like there''s two problems: to_xml always creates a wrapping element <fruits> when it encounters an

Hi, I''ve installed mongrel to check it out and want to go back to using webrick as default when i type server/script to run my server. How can I do this?
