    // The rating to set, make something up:
    $rating = rand();

    $serviceLocator = $this->getServiceLocator();

    // Create a new rating:
    $rating = $serviceLocator->create('wtrating.rating');
    $rating->setTypeId($typeId);
    $rating->setUserId($userId);
    $rating->setRating($rating);

    // Save the rating to the storage device:
    $ratingService = $serviceLocator->get('wtrating.service');
    $ratingService->persist($rating);

    // Retrieve the rating set that contains information like avarage rating,
    // amount of rates, etc.
    return new ViewModel(array(
        'ratingSet' => $ratingService->getRatingSet($typeId)
    ));
