I modified the initializer.rb to load the actionwebservices I add the  
following attributes  
attr\_accessor :action\_web\_service and  
config = Rails::Configuration.new  
config.frameworks += [:action\_web\_service]  
config.action\_web\_service = Rails::OrderedOptions.new  
config.load\_paths += %W( #{RAILS\_ROOT}/app/apis )

Even though I am getting the error uninitialized constant  
ActionWebService::Base:Relodable
