Hi…

to pass complex elements to my webservice calls…  
I’ve installed the actionwebservice gem and made changes in  
environment.rb as told at

Hi Jeba,

I am using Rails 2.2.2 and the actionwebservice gem.  
To manage to use this gem, I uninstall all the previous actionwebservice  
gem  
on my local machine.  
Then I download the last actionwebservice repository on the github  
[GitHub - datanoise/actionwebservice: This project is discontinued](http://github.com/datanoise/actionwebservice/tree/master) .  
Clone the repository any where on your local machine : git clone  
git://github.com/datanoise/actionwebservice.git

Then go to your new actionwebservice directory and execute the command  
ruby  
setup.rb  
This will install the gem in your site\_ruby directory. And you can now  
use  
the actionwebservice features in your Rails application.

Don’t forget to add these few lines in your environment.rb :

Rails::Initializer.run do |config|  
…  
config.load\_paths += %W(  
#{RAILS\_ROOT}/app/apis  
)  
…  
end

require ‘action\_web\_service’

I hope that my configuration of actionwebservice with Rails 2.2.2 has  
helpt  
you.
