If anyone can help me figure this out, I’d appreciate it. I’m trying  
to do soap calls to a a condor web service.  
Some of the calls work ok, but below I try to call commitTransaction  
and it gets an error. Then below there is a second attempt using wsdl,  
but that fails also in some other way …

================================

require ‘soap/rpc/driver’

drv = SOAP::RPC::Driver.new(‘[http://133.24.112.97:63962](http://133.24.112.97:63962)’,  
‘urn:condor’)

drv.add\_method(‘beginTransaction’,‘duration’)  
drv.add\_method(‘commitTransaction’,‘transaction’,‘two’)

p drv

res = drv.beginTransaction(20)

p res  
p res.transaction

#p res.status.code

sleep 2

id = res.transaction.id.to\_i

p id.class

stat = drv.commitTransaction(id,{‘id’ =\> id, ‘duration’ =\> 20})  
p stat

#\<SOAP::RPC::Driver:#SOAP::RPC::Proxy:http://133.24.112.97:63962\>  
#\<SOAP::Mapping::Object:0x…fdbec7498 {}status=#\<SOAP::Mapping::Object:  
0x…fdbec72c2 {}code=“SUCCESS” {}message=“Success”\> {}

duration=“20”\>\>  
#\<SOAP::Mapping::Object:0x…fdbec6d36 {}id=“960467459” {}  
duration=“20”\>  
Fixnum  
: Validation constraint violation: data type mismatch xsd:int in  
element (SOAP::FaultError)

The error here occurs at the commitTransaction call …

==========================================

Here is what Transaction and commitTransaction looks like in wsdl:

- - -
- 

- -

==============================================

wsdl = ‘[http://133.24.112.97:63962/condorSchedd.wsdl](http://133.24.112.97:63962/condorSchedd.wsdl)’

drv = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl).create\_rpc\_driver

p drv

res = drv.beginTransaction({‘duration’ =\> 20})

ignored attr: {}nillable

If I do this, passing the parameter like this:

res = drv.beginTransaction(20)

I get:
