In fact the older SOAP based web service support was removed from the  
core of Rails with the release of Rails 2.0. The SOAP support is not  
moved out to a separate gem and might be getting maintained by someone.

Maybe this would work if you really feel you must do SOAP, or are forced  
to for some reason:
