I'm doing a request from a Rails app to another Rails app with ActiveResource.
When the format on ActiveResource is XML:
Content.find(:all)[0,2].map(&:attributes) => [ {"updated_at"=>Mon Apr 27 15:04:32 UTC 2009, "url"=>"www.google.com", "id"=>1, "created_at"=>Mon Apr 27 15:04:32 UTC 2009}, {"updated_at"=>Tue Apr 28 14:48:55 UTC 2009, "url"=>"www.google.com", "id"=>2, "created_at"=>Tue Apr 28 14:48:55 UTC 2009} ]
Nice and smooth.
But when it is JSON:
Content.find(:all)[0,2].map(&:attributes) => [ {"content"=>#<Content:0x2040d10 @prefix_options={}, @attributes= {"updated_at"=>"2009-04-27T15:04:32Z", "url"=>"www.google.com", "id"=>1, "created_at"=>"2009-04-27T15:04:32Z"}>}, {"content"=>#<Content:0x2040248 @prefix_options={}, @attributes= {"updated_at"=>"2009-04-28T14:48:55Z", "url"=>"www.google.com", "id"=>2, "created_at"=>"2009-04-28T14:48:55Z"}>} ]
the problem is that to get an attribute in each Content object I have to do object.content.url instead of plain content.url.
Why is this happening? Is there any workaround?
