SOAP WSDLDriverFactory - where?

Ruby
#1

Hi all,

I’ve seen various examples of using Ruby to generate a SOAP client, and
basically they all have the form

require ‘soap/wsdlDriver’
wsdl = ‘http://path-to-wsdl’
driver = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl).create_rpc_driver

I tried doing this on my machine, but Ruby says

internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require:29:in require': no such file to load -- soap/wsdlDriver (LoadError) from <internal:lib/rubygems/custom_require>:29:inrequire’

I tried to ri SOAP, and ri SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory, but get the “Nothing
known” message.
Where can I find this elusive WSDLDriverFactory? I am using
RubyInstaller for Windows 1.9.2.

Thanks in advance.

It’s probably in one of the SOAP related Gems:

ge13:37:56 ~$ gem19 list -r soap

*** REMOTE GEMS ***

soap-lc (0.0.3)
soap4r (1.5.8)
soap4r-middleware (0.8.2)

soap4r-straightjacket (1.5.9)
soapbox (0.2.9)
soapex (0.1)

If you just want to use SOAP on the client side, there are a couple good
options out there:

I recommend savon.

Hi Robert and Nick,

My apologies for not updating.
Ended up using savon, and it works like a gem! (Well, it’s a gem duh)

Thanks all.
