Sorry, trying to figure this out. A web services client sends a request
for
data. However instead of Rails (web services server) sending back
xml for the client to render, the web services server actually renders
the
data, would that still be a web service ? Hope this isn’t a confusing
question.
My objective is to have Rails acting as the web services server but to
deliver the data on request.
TIA
I’m not sure what you’re trying to do. You want to make a request to
the web server and then have it return a web page? You certainly don’t
need web services for that…
A web service doesn’t have to return data, and it would be possible to
have it return a string of html if you wanted.
