Hi

Richardson and Ruby mention a Ruby WADL library in their recent REST Web  
Services book, and call the library with ‘require WADL’ in some of their  
code snippets.

Those snippets don’t work for me because Ruby (1.8.5) cannot find the  
library in its path.

Am I missing something? I cannot find a reference to the library on the  
interweb.

Any pointers gratefully received.

Jason

NB I’m not sure if this is a little ‘off topic’, but I’m working with  
Rails and wanted to see how I could work with WADL as well as ARes.
