20 / 20 hind sight, I would probably do things different today but I have most of my active record classes under different parent classes. For example:
module Foo class Bar < ActiveRecord::Base ... end end
The to_xml for this produces <foo/bar> .... </foo/bar>
The / in a tag name is not allowed. Questions:
1) Is this a bug? 2) If so, suggestion of what to convert it to?

This is what I did to work around the situation: class Hash class << self private def from_xml_with_colon_fixer(xml) fix_colon_keys(from_xml_without_colon_fixer(xml)) end alias_method_chain :from_xml, :colon_fixer
def fix_colon_keys(object) case object when Hash puts "hi" object.inject({ }) { |h, (k,v)| h[k.gsub(/__colon__/, ":")] = v; h } when Array object.map { |e| fix_colon_keys(e) } else object end end end end
module ActiveRecord class Base def to_xml_with_colon_fixer(options = { }, &block) new_root = (options[:root] || self.class.to_s).gsub(/:/, "__colon__") options[:root] = new_root to_xml_without_colon_fixer(options, &block) end alias_method_chain :to_xml, :colon_fixer end end
