I'm struggling a bit with implementing ActiveResource on a custom RESTful API.
Firstly, I can't seem to disable the transforms it does when it parses the XML. For example "CamelCase" gets rendered as camel_case, likewise underscores get converted to dashes. The docs page for ActiveResource mentions being able to set ActiveSupport.camelise_xml = false In an initializer to disable this. This throws an error. I think I can get around the naming problems by converting the hash into XML with the correct formatting then back into a hash again. This seems crazy. Secondly, when constructing forms using form_for on ActiveResource objects, it throws a method not found because it has not loaded a schema for the ActiveResource (unlike ActiveRecord). To get around this, I've patched ActiveResource to return nils no methods that are not found, however I've run into a further problem with nested resources, for example: contacts.phones.home Throws a method not found on the home. How can I get around this? How can I manually construct an ActiveResource object to include this child nodes so I can wrap form_for around them.
