On the server application I have a admin controller

[http://127.0.0.1:3000/admin/clients](http://127.0.0.1:3000/admin/clients)

class Admin::ClientsController \< ApplicationController  
before\_filter :authorize  
.  
.  
.

and this in my routes.rb:

map.namespace :admin do |admin|  
admin.resources :clients  
end

On the client site:

class Client \< ActiveResource::Base  
self.site = ‘[http://127.0.0.1:3000/admin](http://127.0.0.1:3000/admin)’  
self.user = ‘1’  
self.password = ‘1’  
end

What do I have to add on the client site to access the server?  
I just added

map.namespace :admin do |admin|  
admin.resources :clients  
end

in the routes.rb file - without success.

The client only needs to access everything under /admin on the server.

Thanx

I just inspected the logfile:

Processing ClientsController#show (for 127.0.0.1 at 2008-08-18  
20:40:44) [GET]  
Session ID: a30a07484d1409d85cfb547c8694f496  
Parameters: {“format”=\>“xml”, “action”=\>“show”, “id”=\>“14”,  
“controller”=\>“admin/clients”}  
Asked for a remote server ? true, ENV[“FERRET\_USE\_LOCAL\_INDEX”] is  
nil, looks like we are not the server  
Will use remote index server which should be available at druby://  
localhost:9010

As I can see the client request is correct: controller"=\>"admin/clients  
It’s a bit confusing to me because of the missing “admin” in the  
browser’s url.

Ok.
