Web Services (SOAP) naming conventions

Rails
1

I’m writing a SOAP server…one that has to implement ‘specific’
methods that the client will call. One of them is update_customer.

I implement my method as “update_customer” (with the underscore) and
the api signature has the underscore. The problem I’m running into is
how Rails forces the method to be exposed in the wsdl as
UpdateCustomer (no underscore), therefore the client doesn’t recognize
it.

Has anyone run into this or know of a workaround solution?

Thanks all.

Try

inflect_names false

in your API class:

class DataLoaderApi < ActionWebService::API::Base
inflect_names false

api_method :version, :returns => [:string]
end
