Please help me work out this error, regarding the use of a HTTPService to connect Flex4 & Ruby on Ra
- by ben
I have a HTTPService in Flash Builder 4, that is defined as follows:
<s:HTTPService id="getUserDetails" url="http://localhost:3000/users/getDetails" method="GET"/>
It gets called as follows:
getUserDetails.send({'user[username]': calleeInput.text});
Here is a screenshot of the network monitor, showing that the parameter is being sent correctly (it is 'kirsty'):
Here is the Ruby on Rails method that it's connected to:
def getDetails
@user = User.find_by_username(:username)
render :xml => @user
end
When I run it, I get the following error output in the console:

I'm not sure if the error is being caused by bad code in the getDetails Ruby on Rails method? I'm new to RoR, and I think I remember reading somewhere that every method should have a view. I'm just using this method to get info into the Flex 4 app, do I still need to make a view for it? Is that what's causing the error? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated, I've been stuck on this for a few days now! Thanks.
