Yeah, that is a possibility. That is obviously more risky though as it would globally affect all code in all apps. I made a pull request (https://github.com/web2py/web2py/pull/1566). My modification adds a new FlexibleService class that just passes all arguments to the service function; this way it doesn't interfere with anything the existing Service does. It also uses a method instead of a top-level function for the equivalent of universal_caller, so that subclasses can override it to add more complex argument-matching if they want. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
