Hi Matt,
Hope you had a good time in Madrid!
I have a question about active-fedora. Is it possible to get at the audit datasteam of an object? I'd like to be able to display the history of users who've edited an object. Right now, I'm using the apim to parse the objectXML, but not having very much luck. I think the problem is that ruby doesn't seem to know what to do with foxml. Any suggestions would be helpful.
thanks,

Thanks, Matt, I'll take a look at that...
I'm doing a rough parsing of the foxml at the moment. We need to see who edited a record last so we know who to contact if there are questions. It might also be nice to find a way to put something in the justification field of each audit, or this might be overkill. By the way, I also noticed a surrogate feature in the method that initializes the connection to the fedora repo. At the moment you seem to be setting this to nil by default. If that's implemented, does that mean you can pass a user into fedora and have it authenticated by some other means (like LDAP) and not mess with the fedora-users.fcfg file?
just wondering...
have a good weekend!
