Active Web D. with Rails has a basic section on using Active
Web
Services – everything I know I know from that. If you’re looking at
client-side stuff, The Pickaxe (“Programming Ruby”, 2nd edition) has a
page
or so of info on using the SOAP4R stuff, which is enough to get you
moving,
at least.

I followed the Agile Rails book stuff on SOAP and I think I got it
working. I could never find out how to get a client to access the
server apps SOAP services. I asked here a couple times but no one
could help me. Made me think that people have SOAP servers built on
rails but no one can access them. Any tips?

I just use the standard SOAP4R library, something very much like the
example
posted downthread by Ananda Putra.

I’ve just follow the example from this:
http://www.db75.com/new_blog/?p=201
But it didn’t work on me since there is a proxy in our network. How to
set the proxy for the example?

Btw, if I do something like this:

soap_client =
SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(“http://services.xmethods.net/soap/
urn:xmethods-delayed-quotes.wsdl”)

then i want to show all properties and methods of “soap_client”
object, how could i do it in Rails/Ruby?
Usualy in PHP, i just do <?php print_r($object); ?>

Thanks.

require ‘pp’

pp soap_client.methods.sort
pp soap_client.instance_variables

Introspection is a lovely thing.
