    <p>There are 2 apps App1 and App2 and I am trying to create an entry into the <code>items</code> table of App2 from App1 using <code>ActiveResource</code></p> <p>I want this to work:</p> <pre><code>new_item = App2::Item.create(:property1 =&gt; "foo", :property2 =&gt; "bar") </code></pre> <p>This is what I am doing:</p> <p>In App1:</p> <pre><code>module App2 class Item &lt; ActiveResource::Base self.site = "http://localhost:3001" # This is where App2 is running self.prefix = "api/create_item/" def self.create(params) begin @item = App2::Item.new(:property1 =&gt; params[:property1], :property2 =&gt; params[:property2] ) if @item.save format.xml { render :xml =&gt; @item, :status =&gt; :created, :location =&gt; @item } else format.xml { render :xml =&gt; @item.errors, :status =&gt; :unprocessable_entity} end rescue ActiveResource::ResourceNotFound =&gt; ex puts ex.message end end end end </code></pre> <p>In App2, CONTROLLER:</p> <pre><code> module App2 class ItemController &lt; ApplicationController def create_item begin @item = Item.new(:property1 =&gt; "foo", :property2 =&gt; "bar") @item.save respond_to do |format| if @item.save format.xml { render :xml =&gt; %Q[ &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;item&gt; &lt;property1&gt;#{item.property1}&lt;/property1&gt; &lt;property2&gt;#{item.property2}&lt;/property2&gt; &lt;/item&gt; ], :status =&gt; 200 } else format.xml { render :xml =&gt; %Q[&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;&lt;error&gt;Item was not created&lt;/error&gt;], :status =&gt; 404 } end end rescue Exception =&gt; ex format.xml { render :xml =&gt; %Q[&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;&lt;error&gt;Item was not created.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
