I’ve used SOAP from Ruby but never against Exchange. The WSDL would be at [https://exchange.example.com/EWS/Services.wsdl](https://exchange.example.com/EWS/Services.wsdl), you also need [https://exchange.example.com/EWS/messages.xsd](https://exchange.example.com/EWS/messages.xsd) and [https://exchange.example.com/EWS/types.xsd](https://exchange.example.com/EWS/types.xsd) to be able to run wsdl2ruby.rb on the wsdl. /tmp\> /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/soap4r-1.5.8/bin/wsdl2ruby.rb --type client --wsdl Services.wsdl But, it fails: FATAL – app: Detected an exception. Stopping … incomplete simpleType (ArgumentError) /tmp\> ls -latr -rw-r–r-- 1 43041 2010-07-15 16:04 defaultDriver.rb -rw-r–r-- 1 0 2010-07-15 16:04 default.rb I’m sorry that this isn’t more useful, but maybe somebody knows how to overcome this. ---
