[Rails] Re: WEB SERVICES

Our implementation is pretty simple.
in routes.rb build a match route like so:
match '/data_import/input(.:format)' => 'import_data#xml_received'
create an imports controller
then you can create a method that will receive the xml
def receive_xml

end

then you can pass that data using a curl command
curl --user xxxx@xxxx:xxxx -i -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/
xml' -H 'Accept: application/xml' -d '<ROW></ROW>'
http://whatever.com/data_import/input.xml

because the file has a .xml extension rails will pick it up and parse
the xml.

This is a very simple way to do a web service although maybe not the
best performance.
