Dashes in RESTful resource

<project> <active type="boolean">true</active> <archived type="boolean">false</archived> <created-at type="datetime">2008-05-22T19:53:59Z</created-at> <id type="integer">652</id> <name>Funny Stuff</name> <total-expenses type="decimal">0.00</total-expenses> <total-time type="integer">13197</total-time> <updated-at type="datetime">2008-05-28T23:49:26Z</updated-at> <user-id type="integer">232</user-id> <summed-time nil="true"/> </project>

I have a resource that I am communicating with fine, but I am unable to process certain elements, particularly elements with dashes in the name such as "total-time".

I'm getting an error message of "undefined method `total' for #..."

here is my pertinent template code: <%= @details.total-time %>

I'm researching this now but I cant find any past instances of it.

Try @details.total_time

I believe - gets translated to _ in the XML conversion

This is correct. Thanks!
