Thanks Tim. Good to know.

When I try to call that against a Rails webservice I get an error:

rpc = XMLRPC::Client.new(‘localhost’, ‘[http://localhost/webservice/api](http://localhost/webservice/api)’,  
3000)  
p rpc.call(‘system.listMethods’)

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/xmlrpc/client.rb:414:in `call’: no such web service  
‘system’ (XMLRPC::FaultException)

Digging through the source, it doesn’t look like ActionWebService is  
actually using XMLRPC::Server for its server. Unless I’ve missed  
something obvious, I’ll take this over to the Rails mailing list.

Dan
