SOAP attachments and WSDL

Ruby
#1

Hi all,

I’m doing a webservice that needs to transfer large files, so I’m using
the SOAP::Attachment class. It works fine. However I would like to
present a WSDL and I don’t know how to declare a function parameter as
an attachment. The only thing useful I have found in the web suggests
doing this

<xsd:schema targetNamespace=“http://ws-i.org/profiles/basic/1.1/xsd”
xmlns:xs=“http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema”>
<xsd:simpleType name=“swaRef”>
<xsd:restriction base=“xs:anyURI” />
</xsd:simpleType>
</xsd:schema>

from

http://webservices.xml.com/pub/a/ws/2003/09/16/wsbp.html?page=last

it says something about using the profile in

http://ws-i.org/profiles/basic/1.1/xsd

I don’t know what that is, but doing:

  <import
      namespace="http://ws-i.org/profiles/basic/1.1/xsd"
      schemaLocation="http://ws-i.org/profiles/basic/1.1/xsd"/>

fails miserably as the URL

http://ws-i.org/profiles/basic/1.1/xsd

is forbidden for some reason.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your time

I’m droping attachments altogether and passing the matrix as a string,
so don’t need this anymore. Seems like wsdl support for mime in soap4r
is lacking, so I thought: ‘if its a pain for me, it will probably be a
pain for the users’

Oh well…
