Help with SOAP4R and a simple complex type

Ruby
1

I am trying to do a remote call with SOAP4R (loading a WSDL), the
signature has a parameter of this complex type

Passing a Ruby array of strings is not working. I am not 100% sure
that parameter is the guilty, but I’d bet a dinner :-).

Should I do something special to build and pass an objetc for that
complex type?

I reply to myself for the sake of the archives.

Thanks to a blog entry[*] from someone who I own a beer, I learnt
that you need to download the soap4r tarball. In the tarball there is
a utility called wsdl2ruby.rb. I executed

ruby wsdl2ruby.rb --wsdl wsdl_url --type client

and got a few Ruby files that represent the service and its metadata.
In particular you get a driver named like the service:

require ‘defaultDriver’

MyService is generated by wsdl2ruby.rb

serv = MyService.new

ArrayOfstring is defined as child of Array by wsdl2ruby.rb

ros = ArrayOfstring.new
ros << “foo”

my_method receives an ArrayOfstring

result = serv.my_method(ros)

It works like a charm!
