Hi ,  
I want realize a web service with rails, but it’s the response it’s  
very slow. I want only saw all element present in my base.  
I did a base Customers (with element like id, name, phone,…). I  
added two elements.  
I did a model customer, a web\_service customer.

In the file /app/apis/customer\_api.rb  
class CustomerApi \< ActionWebService::API::Base  
api\_method :listid, :expects =\> [:int], :returns =\> [Customer]  
api\_method :listall, :returns =\> [[:int]]

In the file /app/controller/customer\_controller.rb

class CustomerController \< ApplicationController  
wsdl\_service\_name ‘Customer’  
web\_service\_scaffold :invoke

def listid(id)  
Customer.find(id)  
end

def listall  
Customer.find(:all).map{ |customer| customer.id }  
end  
end

I finished my server web\_service.  
I realised a client  
I generated a controller client  
/app/controller/client\_controller.rb

class ClientController \< ApplicationController  
web\_client\_api :customer,  
:soap,  
“[http://localhost:3000/customer/api](http://localhost:3000/customer/api)”  
def list  
customer.listall.map do |id|  
@customers = customer.listid(id)  
end  
end  
end

But when I do  
[http://localhost:3000/client/list](http://localhost:3000/client/list)  
my firefox search and send my mongrel server send :  
Timeout::Error in ClientController#list2

execution expired

Response

Can you help me?

I realise a client in ruby (without ruby on rails) like this :  
#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require ‘soap/wsdlDriver’  
wsdl = “[http://localhost:3000/customer/service.wsdl](http://localhost:3000/customer/service.wsdl)”  
customer\_server = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl).create\_rpc\_driver  
customer\_server.listall.map do |id|  
customer = customer\_server.listid(id)  
puts “Client: #{customer.nom}, rtc : #{customer.rtc}, commercial :  
#{customer.commercial}”  
end  
It’s give me the good info but slowly, not snapshot.

Thanks for your help.  
Fabien.
