soap4r attributes vs elements

[Roy Britten]

Hi list,

soap4r is great when it comes to creating requests consisting of elements

require 'soap/wsdlDriver'
driver = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdlURL).create_rpc_driver
driver.getSomethingfoo=>"bar")

I have a third-party web service utilising attributes of the request
object, rather than nested elements.

soap4r is generating this:

<name>
</name>

What I'm after is this:

<name foo="bar" />

the web service doesn't accept this:

<name>
<foo>bar</foo>
</name>

Is there any means of achieving this with soap4r?

Thanks,
Roy.

You need to construct SOAP element object.

ele = SOAP::SOAPElement.new("name")
ele.extraattr["foo"] = "bar"
driver.invoke(ele)

driver.invoke(ele)

Many thanks. That'll make life easier.

Cheers,
Roy.
