Thanks Ant. No problems about the change.. I will lookup sometime to get to the same page.

I've added this ruby container to the sandbox now Venkat. I changed it to handle the response types the way i'd already done for the rhino container, not because that way is better just as i'd already done that for the other containers so it was easier than changing everything to the ruby way and as we need to completely redo that part anyway this way was easier to keep for now. ...ant On 9/13/06, Venkata Krishnan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Ant, > > I looked at the rhino implementation in the sandbox and tried doing the > same for Ruby.
