Rails ActiveResource URLs for searches including habtm relationships

Rails
1

Hi! I’m trying to build a small client that connects to Redmine to get
the list of users attached to a project.

Following the AR/ Rails conventions, I can get back all projects as:

http://redmine/projects.xml
http://redmine/users.xml

and do searches such as:
http://redmine/issues.xml?limit=10&project_id=3

This works when it involves an attribute or belongs_to criteria.

Can someone help me understand the URL that should be used when trying
to search on a HABTM criteria?

For example, I want to know all the users on a project. But that
relationship is achieved through a HABTM table. Is there some default
Rails routing that covers this scenario?

I tried searching online but I’m just not being able to formulate a
query that returns useful results.

Thanks & Best Regards,
Mohit.

It is not clear to me what your question is. Can you give a specific
example (including the relationships between models) of exactly what
you are trying to do?

I’m actually writing a C++ client that accesses information using HTTP
from a Rails ActiveResource application (Redmine). I can use URLs like
“http://redmine/projects.xml” and “http://redmine/users.xml” to get full
lists of projects and users. The relationship between these 2 resources
is a HABTM. I’m trying to figure out if there is a default URL (i.e.,
Rails convention) at which I could GET the relationships so that I can
figure out which users belong to which projects… or figure out which
users belong to a specific project. Since I’m doing this from C++ and
not from a Ruby client, I am trying to figure out the URL, method and
parameters that I need to provide to get this information.

Hope it’s clearer now?

Given how much trouble I’m having explaining this, maybe, I should stop
searching and start reading the source for Redmine…

Best Regards,
Mohit.
