Hello

Ive been learning / implementing AWS

Thanks to the wonderful pdf by orielly I was able to spot a problem with  
the  
User Engine

I would like to see if anyone else has had problems with this??

Basically if you make a web service at /products

You should be able to reach /product/wsdl and get a well formatted xml  
doc

If you have a login engine on it seems fine but as soon as you install  
user  
engine it

Errors with no action repsoneded to wsdl

If you look insdie the role permissions there is no actions for api or  
wsdl

You are correct. I reported this quite a while back, but apparently it  
has not been fixed. In user engine is a command that hides the wsdl  
command - literally hides it. The following line is in  
authorized\_system.rb in the user engine.

```
  hide_action :action_method_names, :wsdl, :deepcopy

```

Remove :wsdl and things should work again.

Otherwise, creating them is as simple as adding an entry to the  
permissions table.

The user engine doesn’t look for any web services, so it could  
definitely use some patch-based love here. Please do work something up  
and submit it to the Collaboa site.

action

Ill look into it
