Hello people,

I’m implementing a geocoding feature in my web app, a classic feature,  
for showing registered user by location.

For this purpose, I’ve inspired myself from the following tutorial :

[http://earthcode.com/blog/2006/04/rails\_geocoding\_and\_google\_map.html](http://earthcode.com/blog/2006/04/rails_geocoding_and_google_map.html)

However, I’m getting this error from Rails :

uninitialized constant SandboxController::XMLRPC

Being a newbie to rails and webservices, I can’t figure out how to  
solve this.

Can anyone help ?

Regards,

Joel

Sounds like you’re just missing  
[http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/xmlrpc/rdoc/classes/XMLRPC/Client.html](http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/xmlrpc/rdoc/classes/XMLRPC/Client.html)

Just require that library and you should be ok.

Its working when u give the statement

require ‘xmlrpc/client’

before the server call to the xmlrpc in the controller.

I got this the latitude and longtitude values of the address in the  
xmlrpc  
but how to do with in the html pages, and how to get the values for the  
address from db.

thanks
