I’m trying to make a simple web service in rails 2.0.2, but are hvaing  
some problem with use the web service methods.

This following class is used (among others):

class WebController \< ApplicationController  
web\_service\_scaffold :invoke  
web\_service\_dispatching\_mode :layered  
web\_service :servicename, MyService.new  
end

When I open [http://0.0.0.0:3000/web](http://0.0.0.0:3000/web) a NoMethodError is returned:  
NoMethodError (undefined method `web\_service\_scaffold’ for  
WebController:Class)

How to tell my application where to find this method?

(“gem list” tells me that actionwebservice (1.2.6) is installed)

a rails 2.0 app won’t load actionwebservice by default. I put some  
instructions about how to get it going again at
