Hi All,

One of our client had created a WSDL in ASP and sent it over asking us  
to implement the same structure in ruby. I created server and client  
files (4 files each) using these commands

wsdl2ruby.rb –wsdl /home/Test.wsdl –type server –force  
wsdl2ruby.rb –wsdl /home/Test.wsdl –type client –force

My questions are :-

1. how can i create WSDLs automatically like in AWS -  
[http://localhost:3000/test/wsdl/](http://localhost:3000/test/wsdl/)  
?  
(saw this post but not able to make it  
[SOAP::RPC::StandaloneServer and WSDLs - Ruby - Ruby-Forum](http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/145717#704459))

2. Am able to run the server app. But when am sending the request from  
client its shows error like  
" ERROR – Test: GET request not allowed " (am getting this same error  
when i try http://localhost:3000test/wsdl/)

3. Am calling my client like this  
driver = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(url).create\_rpc\_driver  
result = driver.method(arg)

but am getting an error like this :-  
RuntimeError (Unexpected response: #\<HTTP::Message::Headers:0x23d2f28  
@request\_via\_proxy=nil, @is\_request=false, @response\_status\_code=405,  
@body\_charset=nil, @request\_query=nil, @request\_method=nil,

“POST”]], @body\_type=nil, @request\_uri=nil, @body\_date=nil,

…  
…  
…

i have already added these lines in my env.rb

require ‘rubygems’  
gem ‘soap4r’

then what could be wrong?

am using  
ruby - 1.8.6  
soap4r - 1.5.8  
mac-os leopard

Thanks in advance 🙂

The headers show you that only POST methods are allowed (the

[“Allow”,“POST”]).  
From your tests and what you write I guess the RPC driver is making GET  
requests.

You’ll have to check the generated code and/or twiddle the properties  
when you generate your driver.  
Without code and without looking into the soap4r stuff I can’t say much  
more  
Cheers,

Hi Vassilis R.,

As i mentioned earlier… i have created 4 sever & client files from a  
WSDL. Am able to start my StandaloneServer app. But the client is not  
working. am getting this error

/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/soap4r-1.5.8/lib/soap/streamHandler.rb:268:in  
`send_post': 404: Not Found (SOAP::HTTPStreamError) from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/soap4r-1.5.8/lib/soap/streamHandler.rb:172:in`send’  
from  
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/soap4r-1.5.8/lib/soap/rpc/proxy.rb:179:in  
`route' from /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/soap4r-1.5.8/lib/soap/rpc/proxy.rb:143:in`call’  
from  
/Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/soap4r-1.5.8/lib/soap/rpc/driver.rb:181:in  
`call’

is there any way to see the WSDLs when we use wsdl2ruby?

thanx 🙂

I can’t really help you with the wsdl’s since I avoid them like the  
plague - too much work for too little benefit.  
From the error above it seems like the client is looking for the wrong  
URL (that 404 HTTP return code there)  
If I was you I’d go in there with the debugger or with a few log  
messages and figure out which URL is called and how.  
Cheers,
