Hi,

I found this great plugin that “ports” AWS to Rails 2.0. But I’m having  
one problem. I am unable to use the “invoke” scaffold to test my new API  
methods. When I try to access /myapicontroller/invoke I get:

ActionController::MissingTemplate (Missing template  
/Users/misleb/rails/homeroom/vendor/plugins/action\_web\_services/lib/action\_web\_service/templates/scaffolds/layout.rhtml

But that file is there. What’s going on?

I got the plugin from here:

> **[ActionWebService and Rails 2.0](http://biorails-dev.blogspot.com/2007/12/actionwebservice-and-rails-20.html)**
>
> Well looks like I have to take on supporting this for my BioRails project. Afraid on the client side we are making heavy use of .NET genera...

Someone also posted a question about the invoke method. They didn’t get  
a response.
