Custom XML Builder element needed

Hi all,

This may seem like a bit of a stupid question, I’m building an xml
request to be sent over https to a service provider, but according to
their specification, which doesn’t seem to work with the rails
xmlbuilder and rxml templates, what I need is a way to create elements
containing a hyphen in the name, like xxxxx
but I can’t figure our how to do it because ruby treats it
differently, this is my code:

request.rxml

xml.instruct! :xml, :version=>“1.0”, :encoding => “UTF-8”
xml.message {
xml.access {
xml.access-code(@access_code)
xml.access-pwd(@access_pass)
}
}

which of course doesn’t work because ‘code’ and ‘pwd’ are then treated
as a separate methods and are not transfered to the method_missing
handler in xmlbuilder.

Is there any workaround to this?

According to the Builder-docs tag! should work:
