Newby: Getting "unitialized constant SockServ" -- help

Rails
1

I can’t seem to find my error. I think it’s fairly basic. Do I have to
initialize SockServ somewhere or is this error message really indicating
something else?

uninitialized constant SockServ

C:/rails/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.2.5/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:200:in
const_missing' #{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/mindreadr_controller.rb:15:inget_reordered_images’

This error occured while loading the following files:
sock_serv.rb

This is in my ApplicationController (partila)
def get_reordered_images
# eventually send in image IDs, for now, send in nothing, just get
images
@response = SockServ.open_send_receive
# now unwrap XML response, and create list of image IDs to display
render(:layout => false)
end

This is in my apps/models directory (sockserv.rb)
class SockServ

def initialize
end

def self.open_send_receive
   # open a socket here and send the data in the xml var
   # read from the socket the response and use it as the return
require "socket"
STDOUT.flush

# s is an instance of a socket
@socket = TCPSocket.open("nnn.nnn.nnn.n", 9000)

sending xml to just opened socket (send is std call)

@xml = "<?xml version="1.0" ?>
         <transaction>
	     <version> 2.0 </version>
	     <ctrl>
   	  	   <mode> pbir </mode>
   	  	   <option>
      			<resultImageSize> 16 </resultImageSize>
   	   	   </option>
	     </ctrl>
        </transaction>"

@socket.send(@xml)
@socket.recv
end

end

This is in my apps/models directory (sockserv.rb)
class SockServ

try to move this class to lib/sockserv.rb

then in your controller:

 require 'sockserv'
