Hi, I am writing a client-server rails app. The client and server maintain similar databases. Periodically, I would like them to synchronize their databases. For this, in the application, once the user logs in, I want to spawn a background process at the client that first sends the client''s new data and then receives the server''s new data. I am thinking of using RailsCron for

Hi, I know that ActionController::AbstractRequest provides a raw_post method that reads the data that has been posted to the HTTP server as raw data.

Can you help me with this? Thanks, Yash -- Posted via

We have tables Users and Communities linked by has_an_belongs_to_many. The join table Communities_Users has additional fields [ is_active, is_blocked, join_date] etc. These are populated using @user.push_with_attributes(:is_active => true,...). Later on how do we update or retrieve the attributes in the link table for a given user or a community with doing it explicitly using SQL? Thanks,

Can someone suggest a better way of running a procedure in the background? Thanks -Yash -- Posted via

Hi, I am new to RSpec and BDD. I was wondering if RSpec specifications are a good solution for testing REST webservices (not implemented in Rails).

Does someone have an actual example of this? I saw DHH''s slides where he said that you could have your app automatically respond with HTML, XML, atom, whatever. So far I''ve found tons of discussion on REST and CRUD in Rails, but I haven''t seen anything that actually shows me what it all is. There''s simply_restful, which apparently makes things easier...I

Has anyone tried to install/deploy the REST on Rails example from XML.com? (http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/11/02/rest-on-rails.html) Being fairly new to Rails, I don''t think I am putting the right pieces in the right places and could use some advice. The primary file associated with the install I have saved in the "lib" directory but my Controller doesn''t seem able

Is anyone building an adapter that would enable a Rails application to interface to a REST or SOAP web API? It would enable a Rails app to consume REST or SOAP via a model. Or is not worth the effort because web services are so different from databases, even though they are typically data sources? Please reply to richardc@ASO.com. -- Richard Cunningham E-Mail:

In our rails application, there is a model called Essay and another called Tag. Essay ''has_and_belongs_to_many'' tags. When a user CREATEs an essay, he gives the text in a text field which corresponds to a database column in the essays table. The _form.rhtml also provides a text area that lets the user tag the essay with keywords. The text area does not correspond directly 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

Hello all, I am trying to implement a POC wherein I can post a message + image and get the same working via AJAX to display them both for each new entry without the page reloading. I am using a config of Ruby 1.8.7 and Rails 2.0.2 for project specific purposes.. I am also using a pretty old paperclip commit from github for this....I had to suit my proj config requirements mentioned previously..

Hello, I need to consume a web service of an App called RedMine created with Rails, in order to have a sort of "separate" interface (not the same as the app) for one of the departments (that interact with the app) to interact with it and generate some different reports based on the same data. I don''t know much about either (ETL and Rest), all I know is that ETL seems to
