Subject: Re: XMLRPC and complex data structures

Just to see what would happen with regular Ruby structs (i.e. no extensions), I
tried adding this method to the xmlrpc server:

# Return an array of structs
   def get_aos
      TestStruct = Struct.new("TestStruct",:name,:age)
      dan = TestStruct.new("Dan",32)
      joe = TestStruct.new("Joe",29)
      a = []
      a.push(dan,joe)
      return a
   end

This caused a "dynamic constant assignment" error, and I could only get it to
work if I declared the struct type outside the class.  Could dynamic struct
generation be the source of the problem?  If so, why?
