Hello,  
I have problem with using this SOAP:

require ‘rubygems’  
gem ‘soap4r’  
require ‘soap/wsdlDriver’  
require ‘soap/mapping/encodedregistry’

puts “SOAP::Version = #{SOAP::Version}”

soap =  
SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(“[http://import.finn.no/services/ImportSoapAction?wsdl](http://import.finn.no/services/ImportSoapAction?wsdl)”).create\_rpc\_driver  
soap.readMessage({:readMessageRequest =\> {:fake =\> “arguments”}})

> ruby soap\_finn.rb  
> c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/soap4r-1.5.8/lib/soap/mapping/wsdlliteralregistry.rb:89:in  
> `obj2elesoap': cannot find type {http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}anyType (SOAP::Mapping::MappingError) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/soap4r-1.5.8/lib/soap/mapping/wsdlliteralregistry.rb:37:in `obj2soap’

Any ideas how to attack that? Or should I give up ☹

Cheers,

Its impossible to do it in ruby then. Ok, have to attack it different  
way.
