+= Google Service example
+
+This example shows how one would implement an API like Google
+Search that uses lots of structured types.
+
+There are examples for "Direct" and "Delegated" dispatching
+modes.
+
+There is also an example for API definition file autoloading.
+
+
+= Running the examples
+
+  1. Add the files to an Action Web Service enabled Rails project.
+
+    "Direct" example:
+
+      * Copy direct/search_controller.rb to "app/controllers"
+        in a Rails project.
+      * Copy direct/google_search_api.rb to "app/apis"
+        in a Rails project
+
+    "Delegated" example:
+
+      * Copy delegated/search_controller.rb to "app/controllers"
+        in a Rails project.
+      * Copy delegated/google_search_service.rb to "lib"
+        in a Rails project.
+
+     "Autoloading" example:
+
+      * Copy autoloading/google_search_api.rb to "app/apis" (create the directory
+        if it doesn't exist) in a Rails project.
+
+      * Copy autoloading/google_search_controller.rb "app/controllers"
+        in a Rails project.
+  
+
+  2. Go to the WSDL url in a browser, and check that it looks correct.
+
+      "Direct" and "Delegated" examples:
+        http://url_to_project/search/wsdl
+
+      "Autoloading" example:
+        http://url_to_project/google_search/wsdl
+     
+     You can compare it to Google's hand-coded WSDL at http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl
+     and see how close (or not) the generated version is. 
+     
+     Note that I used GoogleSearch as the canonical "best practice"
+     interoperable example when implementing WSDL/SOAP support, which might
+     explain extreme similarities :)
+
+
+  3. Test that it works with .NET (Mono in this example):
+
+        $ wget WSDL_URL
+        $ mv wsdl GoogleSearch.wsdl
+        $ wsdl -out:GoogleSearch.cs GoogleSearch.wsdl
+
+     Add these lines to the GoogleSearchService class body (be mindful of the 
+     wrapping):
+
+        public static void Main(string[] args)
+        {
+            GoogleSearchResult result;
+            GoogleSearchService service;
+        
+            service = new GoogleSearchService();
+            result = service.doGoogleSearch("myApiKey", "my query", 10, 30, true, "restrict", false, "lr", "ie", "oe");
+            System.Console.WriteLine("documentFiltering: {0}", result.documentFiltering);
+            System.Console.WriteLine("searchComments: {0}", result.searchComments);
+            System.Console.WriteLine("estimatedTotalResultsCount: {0}", result.estimatedTotalResultsCount);
+            System.Console.WriteLine("estimateIsExact: {0}", result.estimateIsExact);
+            System.Console.WriteLine("resultElements:");
+            foreach (ResultElement element in result.resultElements) {
+              System.Console.WriteLine("\tsummary: {0}", element.summary);
+              System.Console.WriteLine("\tURL: {0}", element.URL);
+              System.Console.WriteLine("\tsnippet: {0}", element.snippet);
+              System.Console.WriteLine("\ttitle: {0}", element.title);
+              System.Console.WriteLine("\tcachedSize: {0}", element.cachedSize);
+              System.Console.WriteLine("\trelatedInformationPresent: {0}", element.relatedInformationPresent);
+              System.Console.WriteLine("\thostName: {0}", element.hostName);
+              System.Console.WriteLine("\tdirectoryCategory: {0}", element.directoryCategory.fullViewableName);
+              System.Console.WriteLine("\tdirectoryTitle: {0}", element.directoryTitle);
+            }
+            System.Console.WriteLine("searchQuery: {0}", result.searchQuery);
+            System.Console.WriteLine("startIndex: {0}", result.startIndex);
+            System.Console.WriteLine("endIndex: {0}", result.endIndex);
+            System.Console.WriteLine("searchTips: {0}", result.searchTips);
+            System.Console.WriteLine("directoryCategories:");
+            foreach (DirectoryCategory cat in result.directoryCategories) {
+              System.Console.WriteLine("\t{0} ({1})", cat.fullViewableName, cat.specialEncoding);
+            }
+            System.Console.WriteLine("searchTime: {0}", result.searchTime);
+        }
+
+    Now compile and run:
+
+      $ mcs -reference:System.Web.Services GoogleSearch.cs
+      $ mono GoogleSearch.exe
+
+
+    If you had the application running (on the same host you got
+    the WSDL from), you should see something like this:
+
+
+        documentFiltering: True
+        searchComments:
+        estimatedTotalResultsCount: 322000
+        estimateIsExact: False
+        resultElements:
+                summary: ONlamp.com: Rolling with Ruby on Rails
+                URL: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html
+                snippet: Curt Hibbs shows off Ruby on Rails by building a simple ...
+                title: Teh Railz0r
+                cachedSize: Almost no lines of code!
+                relatedInformationPresent: True
+                hostName: rubyonrails.com
+                directoryCategory: Web Development
+                directoryTitle:
+        searchQuery: http://www.google.com/search?q=ruby+on+rails
+        startIndex: 10
+        endIndex: 40
+        searchTips: "on" is a very common word and was not included in your search [details]
+        directoryCategories:
+                Web Development (UTF-8)
+                Programming (US-ASCII)
+        searchTime: 1E-06
+
+
+    Also, if an API method throws an exception, it will be sent back to the
+    caller in the protocol's exception format, so they should get an exception
+    thrown on their side with a meaningful error message.
+
+    If you don't like this behaviour, you can do:
+
+      class MyController < ActionController::Base
+        web_service_exception_reporting false
+      end
+
+  4. Crack open a beer. Publishing APIs for working with the same model as
+     your Rails web app should be easy from now on :)
