Hi,

I am relatively new ro ruby. I need to design a ruby client for a soap  
based web services. By using wsdl2ruby i could generate client  
containing 4 files  
(default.rb , defaultDriver.rb ,defaultMappingRegistry.rb,  
defaultClient.rb)  
So in my defaultClient.rb ,I got this auto generated method…

# SYNOPSIS

# GetRecommendations(parameters)

# 

# ARGS

# parameters GetRecommendations -

{[http://www.blog.org/TextBlogWSDL/](http://www.blog.org/TextBlogWSDL/)}GetRecommendations

# 

# RETURNS

# parameters GetRecommendationsResponse -

{[http://www.blog.org/TextBlogWSDL/](http://www.blog.org/TextBlogWSDL/)}GetRecommendationsResponse

# 

# RAISES

# parameters Fault - {[http://www.blog.org/TextBlogWSDL/](http://www.blog.org/TextBlogWSDL/)}fault

# 

## parameters = nil obj.getRecommendations(parameters)

In this, I have replaced those above two lines with this.  
GetRecommendations take String as an input and returns String as output

parameters = GetRecommendations.new([“Hello”])  
getRecommendationsResponse = obj.getRecommendations(parameters)

but I am getting error at this line,saying xml parser error…  
getRecommendationsResponse = obj.getRecommendations(parameters)

## error:
