soap4r and capitalized wsdl:part names

[Ian Neubert]

Hello all,

I'm having a problem with writing a SOPA client with soap4r (1.5.8) and
a WSDL file that includes WSDL operations with parameter names that are
in all caps. When I try to access one of those SOAP operations it sets
all the parameters to xsi:nil=true in the XML sent to the SOAP endpoint.

Is this a bug or do I need to handle this situation differently? Note:
everything works great if I change the names of the wsdlart elements
to lowercase letters.

Here is the example code:
driver.getResellerCostPrice("myname", "mypassword", "myrole", "en", 1)

Here is the XML sent to the SOAP endpoint:
..snip..
<SERVICE_USERNAME xsi:nil=\"true\"></SERVICE_USERNAME>
<SERVICE_PASSWORD xsi:nil=\"true\"></SERVICE_PASSWORD>
<SERVICE_ROLE xsi:nil=\"true\"></SERVICE_ROLE>
<SERVICE_LANGPREF xsi:nil=\"true\"></SERVICE_LANGPREF>
<SERVICE_PARENTID xsi:nil=\"true\"></SERVICE_PARENTID>
..snip..

And an example of the WSDL file:
<wsdl:message name="getResellerCostPriceRequest">
<wsdlart name="SERVICE_USERNAME" type="xsd:string"/>
<wsdlart name="SERVICE_PASSWORD" type="xsd:string"/>
<wsdlart name="SERVICE_ROLE" type="xsd:string"/>
<wsdlart name="SERVICE_LANGPREF" type="xsd:string"/>
<wsdlart name="SERVICE_PARENTID" type="xsd:int"/>
</wsdl:message>

Thanks in advance for any help you may provide.

Hi,

I am trying to build a SOAP client, in order to generate a soap request
from a wsdl. I am using ruby 1.9.2 and soap4r 1.5.8
I have used wsdl2ruby.rb --wsdl inquiry2010V1.wsdl --type client --force

Initially I got errors in xml processing that lead me to do changes in
a) soap4r-1.5.8\lib\xsd/charset.rb (changed "@internal_encoding =
$KCODE" to "@internal_encoding = (RUBY_VERSION.to_f >= 1.9) ? 'UTF8'
: $KCODE)


b)soap4r-1.5.8\lib\xsd/xmlparser.rb (changes at line #66 -- changed
"c.downcase == name" to "c.to_s.downcase == name")

c)soap4r-1.5.8\lib\xsd\codegen\gensupport.rb (changed .collect to
'split(/^/).each'

After doing these changes wsdltoruby generates 4 classes as in
inquiry.wsdl.rb, inquiry.wsdlMappingReistry.rb, inquirywsdlDriver.rb and
InquiryServiceClient.rb.

My wsdl has certain params in capital case: so the error thrown is as
follows:

inquiry.wsdl.rb:526: dynamic constant assignment
SEMI_ANNUALLY = Recurrence_Enum.new("SEMI_ANNUALLY")
^
The above error is repeated for all the capital params.

Also, the ruby files obtained have some string errors (new line
character absent) like endend, def xyz Methods.each ,etc.

Please guide, if some other files of SOAP4r needs to be updated.
