I'm trying to create a simple SOAP client in Ruby and up to this point have
been unsuccessful. Here is my code and the output. I a new to Ruby so if
there is anything else I can offer to get more assistance let me know.



require 'soap/rpc/driver'



class CustomerController < ApplicationController

ENDPOINT = "http://xxx/MyWebService/"

NAMESPACE = "http://myserver.com/namespace"



def create

end



def save_customer

soapProxy = SOAP::RPC:river.new(ENDPOINT,
NAMESPACE)

soapProxy.add_method('ContactNew')

soapProxy.add_method('ContactSave', 'contact')

contact = soapProxy.ContactNew

contact.FirstName = "Wes"

contact.LastName = "Shaddix"

contactKey = soapProxy.ContactSave(contact)



redirect_toaction => "create")

end

end



OUTPUT


SOAP:ostUnavailableError in Customer#save_customer


405: Method Not Allowed

extract the code into a simple class that are easy to test...

the error code 405, indictaes that your code is broken, but your use of
the service is...check the specifications

The same code translated to c# works fine. That's what leads me to believe
I'm coding it wrong in Ruby.

Hi,

I'm trying to create a simple SOAP client in Ruby and up to this point have
been unsuccessful. Here is my code and the output. I a new to Ruby so if
there is anything else I can offer to get more assistance let me know.

Can I see a wiredump of the request?

require 'soap/rpc/driver'

class CustomerController < ApplicationController
def save_customer
soapProxy = SOAP::RPC:river.new(ENDPOINT,
NAMESPACE)
soapProxy.add_method('ContactNew')
soapProxy.add_method('ContactSave', 'contact')

soapProxy.wiredump_dev = STDERR

Please add the above line here. Though I don't know where I get STDERR
outputs in Rails environment...

That helps. From the output, I was able to tell that the soap action was not
being set so instead of add_method, I now call
oapProxy.add_method_with_soapaction('ContactNew', NAMESPACE + 'ContactNew')

I'm getting the right response back from the web service when I call
ContactNew, but I'm unable to set the FirstName property on the object
returned from the call. Below is the server response after the call to
ContactNew

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body><ContactNewResponse
xmlns="http://inovaware.com/prism/"><ContactNewResult><ContactKey
xsi:nil="true" /><ContactID /><NamePrefix /><NameTitle /><FirstName
/><LastName /><NameSuffix /><Pronunciation /><JobTitle /><Company
/><AddressLine1 /><AddressLine2 /><City /><MailRegion /><MailCode /><Country
/><WorkNumber /><FAXNumber /><HomeNumber /><MobileNumber /><PagerNumber
/><EMailAddress /><BirthDate xsi:nil="true" /><Login /><Password
/><ModifyCount>0</ModifyCount></ContactNewResult></ContactNewResponse></soap
:Body></soap:Envelope>

And this is the call that fails:
contact = soapProxy.ContactNew
contact.FirstName = "TestFromRuby"

with the following error:
undefined method `FirstName=' for #<SOAP::Mapping::Object:0x3809a70>

OK.

ContactNew, but I'm unable to set the FirstName property on the object
returned from the call. Below is the server response after the call to
ContactNew

Please use "firstName" instead of "FirstName". Method name is
uncapitalized along to Ruby's coding style.
