    # A web service API class specifies the methods that will be available for
    # invocation for an API. It also contains metadata such as the method type
    # signature hints.
    #
    # It is not intended to be instantiated.
    #
    # It is attached to web service implementation classes like
    # ActionWebService::Base and ActionController::Base derivatives by using
    # <tt>container.web_service_api</tt>, where <tt>container</tt> is an
    # ActionController::Base or a ActionWebService::Base.
    #
    # See ActionWebService::Container::Direct::ClassMethods for an example
    # of use.

      # The default is +false+; you should be aware of the security implications
      # of allowing this, and ensure that you don't allow remote callers to
      # easily overwrite data they should not have access to.
      class_inheritable_option :allow_active_record_expects, false

        # performing the invocation on the web service object.

        # The signatures for the method input parameters and return value can
        # by specified in +options+.
        #
        # A signature is an array of one or more parameter specifiers. 
        # A parameter specifier can be one of the following:
        #
        # * A symbol or string representing one of the Action Web Service base types.
        #   See ActionWebService::SignatureTypes for a canonical list of the base types.
        # * The Class object of the parameter type
        # * A single-element Array containing one of the two preceding items. This
        #   will cause Action Web Service to treat the parameter at that position
        #   as an array containing only values of the given type.
        # * A Hash containing as key the name of the parameter, and as value
        #   one of the three preceding items
        # 
        # If no method input parameter or method return value signatures are given,
        # the method is assumed to take no parameters and/or return no values of
        # interest, and any values that are received by the server will be
        # discarded and ignored.
