@michael The routes shouldn’t matter if you are accessing the data via AMF. You just need to send the correct vars to your controller to receive back the array of policies. Such as:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11

ClientController > ApplicationController

def get_client_policies_by_id
...
@client_id = params[:client_id]
@policies = #your activerecord code to get policies#
...
render :amf => @policies
end

end

And in Flex you would just get the result from your service.

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16

<mx:Script>
[CDATA[
private function _onSomeUserGesture(event:MouseEvent):void
{
service.send({client_id:selectedClient.id});
}

private function _onResult(event:ResultEvent):void
{
//do something with the result
}
]]>
mx:Script>
<mx:RemoteObject id="service" destination="rubyamf" endpoint="..your/path/to/rubyamf/gateway" source="ClientController">
<mx:Method name="get_client_policies_by_id" result="onResult(event)"/>
mx:RemoteObject>

I’m just starting to use AMF. I don’t have experience using calls thru RemoteObject other than just a controller’s index, returning all records.

I would like to make calls to controllers using associations:
i.e.: Client has_many Policies, so I need to get a result set of:
/clients/[id]/policies

How would I call that from Flex?
Currently Routes is already set up correctly and it’s returning appropriate record set from an HTML version of the call.
