I posted this to ruby-talk but I got no reply, so I’m posting here.  
Sorry… If anyone knows a better place to post it, please let me know.  
I think it’s a bug, but can’t find a bug tracker on [ruby-lang.org](http://ruby-lang.org)…

I’m trying to make Ruby talk to a webservice I’m working on, by having  
it parse my wsdl using SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory. It’s quite a complex  
wsdl which imports a complex schema. Something’s not working…  
Eventually it says “RuntimeError: {}symbolisationBinding not found”

My wsdl validates in everything I’ve thrown at it (soapscope, WS-I,  
others), and works with dotnet and gsoap, amongst other things.

The wsdl is at [http://www.symgate.com/cml/symgate.wsdl](http://www.symgate.com/cml/symgate.wsdl)  
The schema is at [http://www.symgate.com/cml/cml.xsd](http://www.symgate.com/cml/cml.xsd)

I’m using ruby 1.8.4. I’ve tried with 1.8.2 - it fails, but with a  
different error.

Here’s what irb has to say about it:

irb(main):001:0\> require ‘soap/wsdlDriver’  
=\> true  
irb(main):002:0\> soapFactory =  
SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(‘[http://www.symgate.com/cml/symgate.wsdl](http://www.symgate.com/cml/symgate.wsdl)’)  
ignored element: {[XML Schema](http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema)}choice of  
WSDL::XMLSchema::Sequence  
ignored element: {[XML Schema](http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema)}sequence of  
WSDL::XMLSchema::Sequence  
=\>  
#SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory:{http://www.symgate.com/symgate}SymgateEngine  
irb(main):003:0\> soap = soapFactory.create\_rpc\_driver  
RuntimeError: {}symbolisationBinding not found  
from /usr/lib64/ruby/1.8/wsdl/port.rb:36:in `find_binding' from /usr/lib64/ruby/1.8/soap/wsdlDriver.rb:88:in `init\_driver’  
from /usr/lib64/ruby/1.8/soap/wsdlDriver.rb:39:in  
`create\_rpc\_driver’  
from (irb):3  
irb(main):004:0\> soap.inspect  
=\> “nil”

How can I either fix this problem, or report this as a bug?

Thanks,  
Simon
