[Rails] Re: Rails magic for MySQL -> XML file -> MySQL and back again

[Tony Martin]

Stef,

thanks for the pointers.  Webdav is something I hadnt really encountered,
but yes that is the genereal direction.  since I am only looking to generate
some very simple and standard file formats, what I am trying to achieve is
much simpler.  The files will also  be very small.

I have found that using Builder, creating the xml  into a Builder object is
really simple, and it should be possible to write this to a file as a
string.

I have seen reference to Hash.create_from_xml, but cannot get rails to
recognize it.  I have also had a quick look at XmlSimple and xml_in may be
all I need, although it seems to fail if the xml tags do not include
attributes.  i have had a quick look at LibXML, and  it should provide what
I need to read the file so I will pursue that and let you know how it goes.

Thanks again.  
Tony
