Hi,

I’m trying to install and use activewebservice on Rails 2.0.2(using  
instantrails)  
the gem install activewebservice finished succesfully.

when I try to start mongrel I get the following trace

Thanks.

I wrote that :-). I didn’t use actionwebservice from gems though, I  
got the source straight from svn. If the version of actionwebservice  
in gems is older than that it could explain the problem.
