Using .NET web service with soap4r

[Roland Schmitt]

Hello,

i try to call a ASP.NET based web service with soap4r.
The call is successful, this means no error is thrown in ruby nor in the web service. The problem is that the value returned is not as expected.

I cut i down to the following:

This is what soap4r sends:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii" ?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<env:Body>
<SayHello xmlns="http://localhost/PingService/" env:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<name xsi:type="xsd:string">Roland</name>
</SayHello>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

This is what the service returns:
...
<SayHelloResult>Hello, </SayHelloResult>
...

This is what i expect:
...
<SayHelloResult>Hello, Roland</SayHelloResult>

If i remove the namespace definition (ns1) by hand in the soap4r call, e.g.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii" ?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<env:Body>
<SayHello xmlns="http://localhost/PingService/" env:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<name xsi:type="xsd:string">Roland</name>
</SayHello>
</env:Body>

i get the correct answer.

Here is my ruby code:
require "soap/rpc/driver"

include SOAP::RPC

class Test
def initialize()
driver = SOAP::RPC:river.new('http://localhost:8070/PingService/PingService.asmx','http://localhost/PingService/')
driver.allow_unqualified_element=true
driver.add_method_with_soapaction('SayHello','http://localhost/PingService/SayHello','name')
puts("Ergebnis: ", driver.SayHello("Roland"))
end
end
Test.new

Any hints?

Regards,
Roland

I've never used soap4r with ASP.NET services, but I believe there might
be a missing encoding setting for ASPDotNet.

try..

require "soap/rpc/driver"

include SOAP::RPC

class Test
def initialize()
driver = SOAP::RPC:river.new('http://localhost:8070/PingService/PingService.asmx','http://localhost/PingService/')
driver.default_encodingstyle = SOAP::EncodingStyle::ASPDotNetHandler::Namespace
driver.allow_unqualified_element=true
driver.add_method_with_soapaction('SayHello','http://localhost/PingService/SayHello','name')
puts("Ergebnis: ", driver.SayHello("Roland"))
end
end
Test.new

Hi,

I've never used soap4r with ASP.NET services, but I believe there might

I would be lucky, if i could say the same...

be a missing encoding setting for ASPDotNet.

try..

require "soap/rpc/driver"

include SOAP::RPC

class Test
def initialize()
driver =
SOAP::RPC:river.new('http://localhost:8070/PingService/PingService.asmx','http://localhost/PingService/')

driver.default_encodingstyle =
SOAP::EncodingStyle::ASPDotNetHandler::Namespace

I have tried this, but the result was the same. Also the generated xml
was the same...

driver.allow_unqualified_element=true

driver.add_method_with_soapaction('SayHello','http://localhost/PingService/SayHello','name')

puts("Ergebnis: ", driver.SayHello("Roland"))
end end
Test.new

Thank you,
Roland

Be sure and throw a:

Web.Services.Protocols.SoapRpcMethod()

attribute on your web method. Else asp.net will not use rpc encoding.

HTH,
