Hi there,
I’m having some issues with using SOAP and file_column. The Web service
I
created is pretty straight forward. It gets the 5 most recently updated
members from the database. Nothing too spectacular. However, the Members
class uses file_column and when I try to connect to my web service I get
this error:
TypeError in Connect to serviceController#display_recent_updates
Do not know how to handle a string with value
‘/Users/dhoefler/Projects/apps/rover/public/member/image_path/147/866786797_l.jpg’
that was passed to a file_column. Check if the form’s encoding has been
set
to ‘multipart/form-data’.
My web service API looks like the following for my server app:
api_method :find_members_recently_updated, :returns => [[Member]]
And here’s how I call the service from my client app:
def display_recent_updates
XSD::Charset.encoding = ‘UTF8’
wsdlfile = “http://localhost:3000/community/wsdl”
driver = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdlfile).create_rpc_driver
@result = driver.FindMembersRecentlyUpdated
end
I have about 30 columns in my members table, but I’d prefer to return
only a
few columns (nickname, email_address, the URL of their thumbnail image,
updated_at). I don’t want to expose all the columns through the web
service.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Dave H.
