I’m trying to use an exisitng web serivce which has a _very_ exhaustive  
(wide & deep) set of APIs. I’ve looked at Soap4r but it seems to come  
with a  
GPL license. Is there any other library for webservice plumbing in ruby?  
Since I’m not creating the web service, I can’t strap on Rails and hit  
the  
launch button… and i couldn’t find anything in there that will generate  
the  
ruby stubs for me for the wsdl. the last option is to handcode all that  
but  
i’d rather avoid it…

cheers… vivek

GPL at first (in 2000), but now it’s covered with Ruby’s license, that  
must be the best choice for users who use soap4r with Ruby. (I changed  
it with patch authors’ consent.)
