SOAP Problem with Non-ASCII Characters

Hi,

I use Ruby to access a .Net Webservice which returns german umlauts
(äöü…). I create the service like this:

service = SOAP::RPC::Driver.new(server, InterfaceNS)
service.default_encodingstyle =
SOAP::EncodingStyle::ASPDotNetHandler::Namespace

If there are umlauts in the result, I get the following error:

c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/xsd/datatypes.rb:198:in screen_data': {http://www.w3.org/2 001/XMLSchema}string: cannot accept '├ärzteblatt'. (XSD::ValueSpaceError) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/xsd/datatypes.rb:140:inset’

Could somebody tell me how to fix this problem?

If your server allows UTF-8, whichever of these should work.

(1) pass -Ku argument to ruby interpreter such as ‘ruby -Ku myclient.rb’
(2) add $KCODE = ‘UTF8’ at the top of the script.
(3) set XSD::Charset.encoding = ‘UTF8’
