+UNRELEASED
+
+	* lib/action_service/router/wsdl.rb: ensure that #wsdl is
+	  defined in the final container class, or the new ActionPack
+	  filtering will exclude it
+	* lib/action_service/struct.rb,test/struct_test.rb: create a
+	  default #initialize on inherit that accepts a Hash containing
+	  the default member values
+	* lib/action_service/api/action_controller.rb: add support and
+	  tests for #client_api in controller
+	* test/router_wsdl_test.rb: add tests to ensure declared
+	  service names don't contain ':', as ':' causes interoperability
+	  issues
+	* lib/*, test/*: rename "interface" concept to "api", and change all
+	  related uses to reflect this change. update all uses of Inflector
+	  to call the method on String instead.
+	* test/api_test.rb: add test to ensure API definition not
+	  instantiatable
+	* lib/action_service/invocation.rb: change @invocation_params to
+	  @method_params
+	* lib/*: update RDoc
+	* lib/action_service/struct.rb: update to support base types
+	* lib/action_service/support/signature.rb: support the notion of
+	  "base types" in signatures, with well-known unambiguous names such as :int,
+	  :bool, etc, which map to the correct Ruby class. accept the same names
+	  used by ActiveRecord as well as longer versions of each, as aliases.
+	* examples/*: update for seperate API definition updates
+	* lib/action_service/*, test/*: extensive refactoring: define API methods in
+	  a seperate class, and specify it wherever used with 'service_api'.
+	  this makes writing a client API for accessing defined API methods
+	  with ActionService really easy.
+	* lib/action_service/container.rb: fix a bug in default call
+	  handling for direct dispatching, and add ActionController filter
+	  support for direct dispatching.
+	* test/router_action_controller_test.rb: add tests to ensure
+	  ActionController filters are actually called.
+	* test/protocol_soap_test.rb: add more tests for direct dispatching.

+== Coding Style
+
+Please try to follow Rails conventions and idioms.
+
+
+== Concepts
+
+  * Service
+    A service has an associated API definition, and
+    implements the methods defined in the API definition
+
+  * Container
+    A container contains zero or more services
+
+  * API
+    An API definition defines a list of methods implemented by
+    a service
+
+  * Router
+    A router takes raw wire requests, decodes them, performs the invocation on
+    the service, and generates raw wire responses from the invocation result.
+    A router is mixed into a container class.
+
+  * Protocol
+    A protocol implementation implements the unmarshaling and marshaling of 
+    raw wire requests and responses. Registers with router.
+
+
+== Action Pack Integration
+
+For Action Pack, the ActionController is both container and router, and also contains
+the protocol implementations.
+
+
+== Adding support for a new protocol
+
+  1. Add an ActionService::Protocol::YourProtocol module and any classes you need to
+     perform unmarshaling/marshaling of protocol requests. See the SOAP implementation
+     for an example of a complex mapping, and also see
+     ActionService::Protocol::AbstractProtocol for the methods you need to implement.
+
+  2. Add unit tests for your new protocol. Be sure to test using a Action Pack test request
+     duplicating how the real requests will arrive and verify that mapping to and from Ruby
+     types works correctly.

+= Action Service -- Serving APIs on rails
+
+Action Service provides a way to publish interoperable web service APIs with
+Rails without spending a lot of time delving into protocol details.
+
+
+== Features
+
+* SOAP RPC protocol support
+* Dynamic WSDL generation for APIs
+* XML-RPC protocol support
+* Clients that use the same API definitions as the server for
+  easy interoperability with other Action Service based applications
+* Type signature hints to improve interoperability with static languages
+* Active Record model class support in signatures
+
+
+== Defining your APIs
+
+You specify the methods you want to make available as API methods in an
+ActionService::API::Base derivative, and then specify this API
+definition class wherever you want to use that API. 
+
+The implementation of the methods is done seperately to the API
+specification.
+
+
+==== Method name inflection
+
+Action Service will camelcase the method names according to Rails Inflector
+rules for the API visible to public callers. What this means, for example
+is that the method names in generated WSDL will be camelcased, and callers will
+have to supply the camelcased name in their requests for the request to
+succeed.
+
+If you do not desire this behaviour, you can turn it off with the
+ActionService::API::Base +inflect_names+ option.
+
+
+==== Inflection examples
+
+  :add       => Add
+  :find_all  => FindAll
+
+  
+==== Disabling inflection
+
+  class PersonAPI < ActionService::API::Base
+    inflect_names false
+  end
+
+
+==== API definition example
+
+  class PersonAPI < ActionService::API::Base
+    api_method :add, :expects => [:string, :string, :bool], :returns => [:int]
+    api_method :remove, :expects => [:int], :returns => [:bool]
+  end
+
+==== API usage example
+
+  class PersonController < ActionController::Base
+    service_api PersonAPI
+
+    def add
+    end
+
+    def remove
+    end
+  end
+
+
+== Publishing your APIs
+
+Action Service uses Action Pack to process protocol requests.  There are two
+modes of dispatching protocol requests, _Direct_, and _Delegated_.
+
+
+=== Direct dispatching
+
+This is the default mode. In this mode, controller actions implement the API
+methods, and parameters for incoming method calls will be placed in
+<tt>@params</tt> (keyed by name), and <tt>@method_params</tt> (ordered list).
+
+The return value of the action is sent back as the return value to the
+caller.
+
+In this mode, a special <tt>api</tt> action is generated in the target
+controller to unwrap the protocol request, forward it on to the relevant action
+and send back the wrapped return value. <em>This action must not be
+overridden.</em>
+
+==== Direct dispatching example
+
+  class PersonController < ApplicationController
+    service_api PersonAPI
+
+    def add
+    end
+
+    def remove
+    end
+  end
+
+  class PersonAPI < ActionService::API::Base
+    ...
+  end
+
+
+For this example, protocol requests for +Add+ and +Remove+ methods sent to
+<tt>/person/api</tt> will be routed to the actions +add+ and +remove+.
+
+
+=== Delegated dispatching
+
+This mode can be turned on by setting the +service_dispatching_mode+ option
+in a controller.
+
+In this mode, the controller contains one or more service API objects (objects
+that implement an ActionService::API::Base definition). These API
+objects are each mapped onto one controller action only.
+
+==== Delegated dispatching example
+
+  class ApiController < ApplicationController
+    service_dispatching_mode :delegated
+
+    service :person, PersonService.new
+  end
+
+  class PersonService < ActionService::Base
+    service_api PersonAPI
+
+    def add
+    end
+
+    def remove
+    end
+  end
+
+  class PersonAPI < ActionService::API::Base
+    ...
+  end
+
+
+For this example, all protocol requests for +PersonService+ are
+sent to the <tt>/api/person</tt> action.
+
+The <tt>/api/person</tt> action is generated when the +service+
+method is called. <em>This action must not be overridden.</em>
+
+Other controller actions (actions that aren't the target of a +service+ call)
+are ignored for ActionService purposes, and can do normal action tasks.
+
+
+== Using the client support
+
+Action Service includes client classes that can use the same API
+definition as the server. The advantage of this approach is that your client
+will have the same support for Active Record and structured types as the
+server, and can just use them directly, and rely on the marshaling to Do The
+Right Thing.
+
+*Note*: The client support is intended for communication between Ruby on Rails
+applications that both use Action Service. It may work with other servers, but
+that is not its intended use, and interoperability can't be guaranteed, especially
+not for .NET web services. 
+
+Web services protocol specifications are complex, and Action Service can only
+be guaranteed to work with a subset.
+
+If you have the need for clients for a complex service not running on Action
+Service, it is recommended that you use +wsdl2ruby+ and generate the client
+stub classes.
+
+==== Factory created client example
+
+  class BlogManagerController < ApplicationController
+    client_api :blogger, :xmlrpc, 'http://url/to/blog/api/RPC2', :handler_name => 'blogger'
+  end
+
+  class SearchingController < ApplicationController
+    client_api :google, :soap, 'http://url/to/blog/api/beta', :service_name => 'GoogleSearch'
+  end
+
+See ActionService::API::ActionController::ClassMethods for more details.
+
+==== Manually created client example
+
+  class PersonAPI < ActionService::API::Base
+    api_method :find_all, :returns => [[Person]]
+  end
+
+  soap_client = ActionService::Client::Soap.new(PersonAPI, "http://...")
+  persons = soap_client.find_all
+
+  class BloggerAPI < ActionService::API::Base
+    inflect_names false
+    api_method :getRecentPosts, :returns => [[Blog::Post]]
+  end
+
+  blog = ActionService::Client::XmlRpc.new(BloggerAPI, "http://.../xmlrpc", :handler_name => "blogger")
+  posts = blog.getRecentPosts
+
+
+See ActionService::Client::Soap and ActionService::Client::XmlRpc for more details.
+
+== Dependencies
+
+Action Service requires that the Action Pack and Active Record are either
+available to be required immediately or are accessible as GEMs.
+
+It also requires a version of Ruby that includes SOAP support in the standard
+library. At least version 1.8.2 final (2004-12-25) of Ruby is recommended, this
+is the version tested against.
+
+

+= Post-0.4.0 Tasks
+  - relax type-checking for XML-RPC, and perform casts between base types if there
+    are mismatches (i.e. String received when Integer expected, or vice-versa)
+
+  - support XML-RPC's "handler." method namespacing. perhaps something like:
+    
+      class BloggingServices < ActionService::LayeredService
+        def initialize(request)
+          @request = controller.request

+        service_dispatching_mode :delegated
+        service :xmlrpc { BloggingServices.new(@request) }
+      end
+    
+
+= Low priority tasks
+  - add better type mapping tests for XML-RPC
+  - add tests for ActiveRecord support (with mock objects?)
+
+= Refactoring
+  - Find an alternative way to map interesting types for SOAP (like ActiveRecord
+    model classes) that doesn't require creation of a sanitized copy object with data
+    copied from the real one. Ideally this would let us get rid of
+    ActionService::Struct altogether and provide a block that would yield the
+    attributes and values. "Filters" ?  Not sure how to integrate with SOAP though.
+  
+  - Don't have clean way to go from SOAP Class object to the xsd:NAME type
+    string -- NaHi possibly looking at remedying this situation

+= Google Service example
+
+
+This example shows how one would implement an API like Google
+Search that uses lots of structured types.
+
+There are examples for "Direct" and "Delegated" dispatching
+modes.
+
+There is also an example for API definition file autoloading.
+
+= Running
+
+  1. Ensure you have the 'actionservice' Gem installed. You can generate it using
+     this command:
+
+       $ rake package
+
+
+  2. Edit config/environment.rb, and add the following line after the rest of the
+     require_gem statements:
+
+      require_gem 'actionservice'
+
+
+  3. "Direct" example:
+
+      * Copy direct/search_controller.rb to "app/controllers"
+        in a Rails project.
+
+     "Delegated" example:
+
+      * Copy delegated/search_controller.rb to "app/controllers"
+        in a Rails project.
+      * Copy delegated/google_search_service.rb to "lib"
+        in a Rails project.
+
+     "Autoloading" example:
+
+      * Copy autoloading/google_search_api.rb to "app/apis" (create the directory
+        if it doesn't exist) in a Rails project.
+
+      * Copy autoloading/google_search_controller.rb "app/controllers"
+        in a Rails project.
+  
+
+  4. Go to the WSDL url in a browser, and check that it looks correct.
+
+      "Direct" and "Delegated" examples:
+        http://url_to_project/search/wsdl
+
+      "Autoloading" example:
+        http://url_to_project/google_search/wsdl
+     
+     You can compare it to Google's hand-coded WSDL at http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl
+     and see how close (or not) the generated version is. 
+     
+     Note that I used GoogleSearch as the canonical "best practice"
+     interoperable example when implementing WSDL/SOAP support, which might
+     explain extreme similarities :)
+
+
+  5. Test that it works with .NET (Mono in this example):
+
+        $ wget WSDL_URL
+        $ mv wsdl GoogleSearch.wsdl
+        $ wsdl -out:GoogleSearch.cs GoogleSearch.wsdl
+
+     Add these lines to the GoogleSearchService class body (be mindful of the 
+     wrapping):
+
+        public static void Main(string[] args)
+        {
+            GoogleSearchResult result;
+            GoogleSearchService service;
+        
+            service = new GoogleSearchService();
+            result = service.doGoogleSearch("myApiKey", "my query", 10, 30, true, "restrict", false, "lr", "ie", "oe");
+            System.Console.WriteLine("documentFiltering: {0}", result.documentFiltering);
+            System.Console.WriteLine("searchComments: {0}", result.searchComments);
+            System.Console.WriteLine("estimatedTotalResultsCount: {0}", result.estimatedTotalResultsCount);
+            System.Console.WriteLine("estimateIsExact: {0}", result.estimateIsExact);
+            System.Console.WriteLine("resultElements:");
+            foreach (ResultElement element in result.resultElements) {
+              System.Console.WriteLine("\tsummary: {0}", element.summary);
+              System.Console.WriteLine("\tURL: {0}", element.URL);
+              System.Console.WriteLine("\tsnippet: {0}", element.snippet);
+              System.Console.WriteLine("\ttitle: {0}", element.title);
+              System.Console.WriteLine("\tcachedSize: {0}", element.cachedSize);
+              System.Console.WriteLine("\trelatedInformationPresent: {0}", element.relatedInformationPresent);
+              System.Console.WriteLine("\thostName: {0}", element.hostName);
+              System.Console.WriteLine("\tdirectoryCategory: {0}", element.directoryCategory.fullViewableName);
+              System.Console.WriteLine("\tdirectoryTitle: {0}", element.directoryTitle);
+            }
+            System.Console.WriteLine("searchQuery: {0}", result.searchQuery);
+            System.Console.WriteLine("startIndex: {0}", result.startIndex);
+            System.Console.WriteLine("endIndex: {0}", result.endIndex);
+            System.Console.WriteLine("searchTips: {0}", result.searchTips);
+            System.Console.WriteLine("directoryCategories:");
+            foreach (DirectoryCategory cat in result.directoryCategories) {
+              System.Console.WriteLine("\t{0} ({1})", cat.fullViewableName, cat.specialEncoding);
+            }
+            System.Console.WriteLine("searchTime: {0}", result.searchTime);
+        }
+
+    Now compile and run:
+
+      $ mcs -reference:System.Web.Services GoogleSearch.cs
+      $ mono GoogleSearch.exe
+
+
+    If you had the application running (on the same host you got
+    the WSDL from), you should see something like this:
+
+
+        documentFiltering: True
+        searchComments:
+        estimatedTotalResultsCount: 322000
+        estimateIsExact: False
+        resultElements:
+                summary: ONlamp.com: Rolling with Ruby on Rails
+                URL: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html
+                snippet: Curt Hibbs shows off Ruby on Rails by building a simple ...
+                title: Teh Railz0r
+                cachedSize: Almost no lines of code!
+                relatedInformationPresent: True
+                hostName: rubyonrails.com
+                directoryCategory: Web Development
+                directoryTitle:
+        searchQuery: http://www.google.com/search?q=ruby+on+rails
+        startIndex: 10
+        endIndex: 40
+        searchTips: "on" is a very common word and was not included in your search [details]
+        directoryCategories:
+                Web Development (UTF-8)
+                Programming (US-ASCII)
+        searchTime: 1E-06
+
+
+    Also, if an API method throws an exception, it will be sent back to the
+    caller in the protocol's exception format, so they should get an exception
+    thrown on their side with a meaningful error message.
+
+    If you don't like this behaviour, you can do:
+
+      class MyController < ActionController::Base
+        service_exception_reporting false
+      end
+
+  6. Crack open a beer. Publishing APIs for working with the same model as
+     your Rails web app should be easy from now on :)

+= metaWeblog example
+
+
+This example shows how one might begin to go about adding metaWeblog
+(http://www.xmlrpc.com/metaWeblogApi) API support to a Rails-based
+blogging application.
+
+
+= Running
+
+  1. Ensure you have the 'actionservice' Gem installed. You can generate it using
+     this command:
+
+       $ rake package
+
+
+  2. Edit config/environment.rb, and add the following line after the rest of the
+     require_gem statements:
+
+      require_gem 'actionservice'
+
+
+  3. Copy blog_controller.rb to "app/controllers" in a Rails project.
+
+
+  4. Fire up a desktop blogging application (such as BloGTK on Linux),
+     point it at http://localhost:3000/blog/api, and try creating or
+     editing blog posts.
