Apologies in advance for cross-posting but I have been trying to resolve  
this problem for several days…without much success. I have looked on  
the mailing list and the web but have yet to find a resolution to this  
problem. So I was wondering whether someone of this mailing list could  
help me out

I am using the the SOAP library to call an operation, where the message  
element has an xsd:any defined.

This is the XML Schema for the message

\<xsd:element name=“setOutputAndCompleteRequest”\>  
xsd:complexType  
xsd:sequence  
\<xsd:element name=“taskId” type=“xsd:string”/\>  
\<xsd:element name=“data”\>  
xsd:complexType  
xsd:sequence  
\<xsd:any maxOccurs=“unbounded” minOccurs=“0” /\>  
\</xsd:sequence\>  
\</xsd:complexType\>  
\</xsd:element\>  
\<xsd:element name=“participantToken” type=“xsd:string”\>  
\</xsd:element\>  
\</xsd:sequence\>  
\</xsd:complexType\>  
\</xsd:element\>

and this is the operation that I am calling

\<wsdl:operation name=“setOutputAndComplete”\>  
\<wsdl:input message=“tns:setOutputAndCompleteRequest”/\>  
\<wsdl:output message=“tns:okResponse”/\>  
\</wsdl:operation\>

and this is the Ruby code I am using

```
 data = {
   :data => {
     :assessmentInfo => {
       :accept => '1',
       :comments => 'Good one',
       :fee => '100' }
     }
   };

```

service…setOutputAndComplete(  
:participantToken =\> @participant\_token,  
:taskId =\> task\_id,  
:data =\> data);

when i execute it i get the following exception

NoMethodError: undefined method `name' for #<WSDL::XMLSchema::Any: 0x19bb1f2> C:/applications/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/soap4r-1.5.5.20061022/ lib/soap/mapping/mapping.rb:280:in`get\_attributes\_for\_any’
