--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
isn't this a re-introduction of Defect #4745 ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hmmm ok looks like i have to do this in a other way, but generally the real issue count is really useful for all REST consuming.

I am stepping down from working on Redmine. If someone else is interesting in working on this issue, feel free to reassign it to them.

Indeed, it's a real problem for building a REST client. Unfortunately, adding these attributes will break activeresource clients. The problem was reported to the Rails team "here":https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994-ruby-on-rails/tickets/3217-parsing-an-xml-file-with-multiple-records-and-extra-attributes-besides-type-fails but it's still present in Rails 3.0.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An option would be to include these attributes for "pagination aware" clients that provide a "page" parameter.

Examples:

<pre>
GET /issues.xml

=> <issues type="array">
<issue>
..

GET /issues.xml?page=1

=> <issues type="array" page="1" limit="25" count="562">
<issue>
..
</pre>

Not ideal, but it would be a shame to omit this information just because activeresource doesn't support it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I posted a question on related subject to forum, no responses yet:

REST API for Issues returns different results in a Browser and for CURL
http://www.redmine.org/boards/2/topics/19904

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following attributes were added by r4489 in the response: total_count, offset, limit.

Exemple:

<pre>
<issues total_count="2495" type="array" limit="25" offset="0">
<issue>
...
</issue>
</issues>
</pre>

The limit is set to 25 by default and can raised to 100. It does not depend on the 'Objects per page options' application setting that applies to UI only.

Note about #4745: using active_resource 2.3.5, renaming the count attribute to total_count seems to solve the problem but it's weird because I don't see anything in the Rails code that would confirm this. Anyway, a compatibility mode was added: these attributes will be omitted if nometa=1 param is present or 'X-Redmine-Nometa' header is set. This can be set this way:

<pre>
<code class="ruby">
class RedmineResource < ActiveResource::Base
self.site = 'http://localhost:3000/'
self.user = 'xxxx'
self.password = 'xxx'

def self.inherited(child)
child.headers['X-Redmine-Nometa'] = '1'
end
end

class Issue < RedmineResource
end
</code>
</pre>

Jean-Philippe, thanks.
I have a java method getIssues(), which is supposed to load *all* issues with the given Query ID.

do I have to perform multiple queries to the server to go through pages when I need all issues now?
it's not very convenient...

Is this done to limit memory usage in Ruby?
how do I specify amount of issues per page in my request? This page does not explain it: http://www.redmine.org/wiki/redmine/Rest_Issues

Thanks for your help.

I see "page" parameter is ignored.
these urls have different "page" value:
<pre>
http://academ:3000/issues.xml?project_id=testproject&query_id=2&page=0&per_page=100&key=01d7692c218a74d60d25d8eb5f62874a22ef8599
http://academ:3000/issues.xml?project_id=testproject&query_id=2&page=1&per_page=100&key=01d7692c218a74d60d25d8eb5f62874a22ef8599
</pre>
- but return the same list of tasks with offset="0" attribute:
<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><issues type="array" limit="25" total_count="50" offset="0">......
</pre>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I had to read the trunk code to find out that "offset" and "limit" parameters must be used instead of "page" and "per_page".
this query works fine:
<pre>
http://academ:3000/issues.xml?project_id=testproject&query_id=2&offset=0&limit=100&key=01d7692c218a74d60d25d8eb5f62874a22ef8599
</pre>

I will update the Wiki page if I have permissions.
