Contribute to datanoise/actionwebservice development by creating an account on GitHub. I don’t have any experience with it, or do I even know if it actually works. My recommendation is that if you’re planning to provide web services (server-side). Don’t use SOAP! Use REST based web services instead. The Rails community has voiced their opinion on the SOAP vs. REST debate. You won’t be seeing any more work from the Rails team to support SOAP based services. You’ll have to get that support from elsewhere. If you’re having to consume existing SOAP services that do not offer a REST based alternative then hopefully the above link will help you.
