Routing error: undefined local var `type'.

[spockz]

The error in /api/wsdl:

ActionController::RoutingError (undefined local variable or method `type' for WashOut::Param:Class):
  app/controllers/api_controller.rb:8:in `<class:ApiController>'
  app/controllers/api_controller.rb:1:in `<top (required)>

BintraMongo::Application.routes.draw do
  # The priority is based upon order of creation:
  # first created -> highest priority.
  root :to => "home#index"

  wash_out :api

  match '/test', :to => 'foo#test'

  resources :users   
  devise_for :user

  match ':controller(/:action(/:id))'
end

The controller:

class ApiController < ApplicationController
  include WashOut::SOAP

  soap_action "authenticate",
              :args    => {:login => :string, :password => :string, :comment => :string},
              :return  => User
  def authenticate
    # find user by params[:login] and params[:password]
    puts params
  end
end

This was a typo. Patched in master. However this typo was in the raise action. So this code won't work anyway.

  :return  => User

Here is the problem. You can not use your class as a type. You can only use Hashes or Arrays.

[spockz]

Would it be possible to construct the definition for this hash automatically? So suppose a User has the fields "username" and "emailaddress" the returntype would look like

:return => {:user => { :username => :string, :emailaddress => :string } }

This could probably be done, but I wonder whether there have been efforts in this direction already.

There are a lot of pros and cons. I'm not sure about it actually. We do have #21 issue with similar request. I'll take your proposal into account while working on it.
