Hey Everyone,

I’ve been forced to handle php for the last year and am returning to  
rails just now but i am stuck on simple web services. I think AWS has  
been removed from rails 2.3.2. Then, how do you develop a  
webservice? I have searched about, including this list and founding  
nothing coherent by way of explanation.

At wits end here, the whole thing is very un-rails like.

It was removed in rails 2.0. It is still possible to coax the version  
of actionwebservice that was removed to work with the current versions  
of rails, there is also a fork of actionwebservice on github which has  
this all done for you. The feeling I get though is that the vast  
majority of people are just using/providing restful style interfaces.  
At least in the rails world SOAP and that sort of things are not  
heavily used

I see. My problem is I have non activerecord ruby models that I need  
to pass using restful webservice, so you ahve any idea how I go about  
that?
