Right now we are using java based webservices and want to move them to  
ruby on rails webservice. I did not find any ActionWebservice package  
under gems folder.

I appreciate if anyone can help me to find examples on SOAP based  
webservice with ruby.

Ruby version: 1.8.7

Thanks  
Krishna

texperts works only with action pack \<= 1.13.x and the current action  
pack is 2.1.x and it throws an exception as

C:\ruby\>gem install actionwebservice  
ERROR: Error installing actionwebservice:  
actionwebservice requires actionpack (= 1.13.6, runtime)

I read the ‘Agile web development with ruby’ and still not succeed  
creating webservice.

I appreciate if you can share step by step webservice example either  
with soap4r, actionwebservice, aws, any…

I wrote the blog post blasterpal linked to, the key thing is that we  
don’t use the gem. I’ve downloaded the source from the rails svn host  
and stuck next to the other components of the rails framework (ie  
everything is frozen into the app). This continues to work for me with  
2.1.2

Kent S. has been maintaining a gem you can just install:
