Hi,

Just thought I’d share what we did to get action web service to go on  
rails 2.0

Very cool. Question though, do you always have to have the entire  
rails trunk frozen into vendor/rails? That’s the only way I can get  
it to work.

That’s always what we do anyway.  
But assuming you can get a gem for the latest version of it I don’t  
see why that wouldn’t work

If you normally run your app of gems what you could do is put the AWS  
source wherever you want , and then put an initializer in config/  
initializers that does

$LOAD\_PATH.unshift RAILS\_ROOT+’/vendor/actionwebservice/lib/’  
require RAILS\_ROOT+’/vendor/actionwebservice/lib/actionwebservice’

Assuming you’d put it in vendor/actionwebservice.  
This should replace the bits where you do

class Rails::Configuration  
attr\_accessor :action\_web\_service  
end  
and

config.frameworks += [:action\_web\_service]

config.action\_web\_service = Rails::OrderedOptions.new

Does that work ?
