Our implementation is pretty simple. in routes.rb build a match route like so: match '/data_import/input(.:format)' => 'import_data#xml_received' create an imports controller then you can create a method that will receive the xml def receive_xml
end then you can pass that data using a curl command curl --user xxxx@xxxx:xxxx -i -X GET -H 'Content-Type: application/ xml' -H 'Accept: application/xml' -d '<ROW></ROW>' http://whatever.com/data_import/input.xml because the file has a .xml extension rails will pick it up and parse the xml. This is a very simple way to do a web service although maybe not the best performance.
