Problems installing WSF-Ruby

Hi all,

I am trying to use RoR to consume some webservices provided via SOAP,
WSDL, UDDI and XML from a Java EJB application server.

Looking at some info on the net I choose to use WSF-Ruby rather than
ActionWebService because of its implementation of WS-Security and
WS-ReliableMessaging.

Firstly, which would you recommend for consuming Web Services? Security
and Message Reliability will have to play some part.

I’ve spent the last few days trying to get WSF-Ruby installed. I am
completely confused now after many hours trying to install it. I really
need some help with this please if anyone has done it before.

I have been using the guide :

http://wso2.org/project/wsf/ruby/1.0.0/docs/install_guide.html#Building%20and%20Installing%20WSO2%20WSF/Ruby%20on%20Win32

Do i really have to install visual studio to use wsf-ruby?

If so it it just the C++ part i need to install.

It mentions if you don’t have Visual Studio you can just run the batch
file VCVARS32.bat. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Any help that anybody can give would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks,
water
