Hello,  
I have a problem with Action Web Service, I have defined a really simple  
WS  
with  
./generate web\_service Backend essai  
adding web\_service\_scaffold

if I try to obtain the wsdl I got :  
Missing template …/wsdl.rhtml

It’s rails version 1.2.6  
tested on cygwin with ruby 1.8.6

Any of you having an idea ?

Thanks,  
David

responding to myself :  
the easiest way is to dump cygwin → it works fine with Linux

In case anyone else comes across this again, I had a similar problem  
when trying to create a wsdl and my browser telling me a template was  
missing.

If you add the following to config/environments.rb

module SOAP

SOAPNamespaceTag = ‘env’  
XSDNamespaceTag = ‘xsd’  
XSINamespaceTag = ‘xsi’

end

Reboot and see if it works. Did for me 😉

I’m running on:  
Ruby version 1.8.6 (i386-mswin32)  
RubyGems version 1.3.5  
Rack version 1.0  
Rails version 2.3.2  
Active Record version 2.3.2  
Action Pack version 2.3.2  
Active Resource version 2.3.2  
Action Mailer version 2.3.2  
Active Support version 2.3.2

datanoise-actionwebservice (2.3.2)
