# Simple RPC-Controller in Rails
# request.raw_post contains the raw post data, that is
# the data that is submitted in the http request body.

# The example uses the wddx gem to return a simple WDDX response message

# To us WDDX install the wddx gem ([sudo] gem install wddx)
# and a require "wddx" statement
# to config/environment.rb

# app/controllers/rpc_controller.rb

# This controller has a simple method "endpoint"
# The body of the post request is written to the 
# log/#{environment}.log file.
# The controller returns a WDDX XML message.
class RpcController < ApplicationController             
  # simple endpoint
  def endpoint
     if request.post?
       logger.debug request.raw_post
       render :xml => "Ok".to_wddx
     else
       render :xml => "Failure".to_wddx
     end
  end
