Hey all

If I wanted to access a web service within ruby cocoa, would i need to  
do…

OSX::NSBundle.bundleWithPath("/path/to/WebServiceCore.framwork").ocm\_send(:load)

and then use the OOC bridge within that, or is it possible to use the  
nice ruby wrapper SOAP4R? If i wanted to use that wouldnt i need to make  
it a descendant of NSObject?

Thanks

Tim

You can use require\_framework to load a framework with RubyCocoa 0.10  
or later. Though it may be not worked for WebServieCore:

OSX.require\_framework “CoreGraphics”

SOAP4R never depend on NSObject/Cocoa/Mac OS. Why do you need to do  
that?  
that is you can just use it regardless of NSObject.
