Hi there,
I am trying to do a soap request to the Mapping Service Map24.
They have a WSDL for their webservice:
http://maptp11.map24.com/map24/webservices1.5?soap=Map24Geocoder51
I am attempting to do the Free Geocode operation: ‘searchFree’. It
appears this takes a RequestHeader and a MapSearchFreeRequest. I use
the following code to create my request:
factory =
SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(“http://maptp11.map24.com/map24/webservices1.5?soap=Map24Geocoder51”)
driver = factory.create_rpc_driver
result = driver.searchFree( {:Map24ID => “1”}, {:SearchText =>
“London, UK”} )
However, this only ever generates the following SOAP Request:
<env:Envelope xmlns:xsd=“http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema”
xmlns:env=“http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/”
xmlns:xsi=“http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance”>
env:Body
<n1:searchFree xmlns:n1=“urn:Map24Geocoder51”
env:encodingStyle=“http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/”>
</n1:searchFree>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>
The RequestHeader and MapSearchFreeRequest parts are ALWAYS empty…?
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

When you use a Hash as a parameter, you need to start from a parameter
name.
result = driver.searchFree(
{:RequestHeader => {:Map24ID => “1”}},
{:MapSearchFreeRequest => {:SearchText => “London, UK”}}
)
Generating stub files with wsdl2ruby.rb should be easier to use for this
kind of service which has complex request.

Thanks for your response I really appreciate it.
I tried your modification, however I still see the following SOAP
Request being generated:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:xsd=“http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema”
xmlns:env=“http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/”
xmlns:xsi=“http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance”>
env:Body
<n1:searchFree xmlns:n1=“urn:Map24Geocoder51”
env:encodingStyle=“http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/”>
</n1:searchFree>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>
Why are the RequestHeader and MapSearchFreeRequest xsi:nil attributes
true: should they not be filled with whatever I pass in the call
driver.searchFree?
I have used the SOAP and Driver Generator before for a simpler request
for a different service and it worked perfectly. Does the
WSDLDriverFactory and the create_rpc_driver method not always work for
complex WSDLs??
Thanks again in advance

Hi,
What version of soap4r are you using? As Andre wrote in soap4r-ml, it
should generate request elements with earlier soap4r versions.
% ruby -rsoap/soap -e ‘p SOAP::Version’
I tried soap4r-1.5.5 which is bundled with ruby-1.8.X and found that it
fails to parse the WSDL you pointed. If you are using soap4r-1.5.5,
please update to soap4r-1.5.7 from http://dev.ctor.org/soap4r

It’s wrong. It works but not needed. Sorry for confusing you. The
client program you posted at first should work with soap4r-1.5.7.
