I am about to get started on my first ruby on rails project! However I want to make sure I can do everything I need. :-) One item I am not sure about is webservices, its not something I have done before. I am used to database style websites. How easy is it to create a Ruby on Rails webservice thats a sender and receiver. I need to "enable" the following webservice http://www.esendex.com/support/SMS-API-XML-Web-Service-SOAP.aspx This webserice allows you to send SMS (text messages for mobiles) and receive them as well so the web service needs to be two way. How easy is this ? is their a sample I could work from to intergate this ? Thanks very much - you might see a few posts from me over the coming weeks - really need to get my head around Ruby!

Woody, You may want to start by looking at SOAP4R <http://dev.ctor.org/soap4r>. I don''t believe it is a very active project and I had several issues using it but i believe it is the only ruby SOAP gem around. cheers </jima> On 4/19/07, Woody Uk <rails-mailing-list-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > > I am about to get started on my first ruby on rails project!

The latest Ruby has some support for SOAP services. I have not tried these myself, but take a look at what Ruby provides and see if that is sufficient for your needs. On a side note, depending on the features of that service you need, they do have a RESTful (HTTP Post) service as well as SOAP. That may be all your really need and you won''t have to fight the ugly battle of SOAP web services at all. Like I said it depends on your needs. Their SOAP service may have more features I didn''t spend that much time looking at it. In any case, I think I would try out the REST route first, then move to SOAP only if I really needed it.

Looks like the SOAP support in the ruby stdlib *is* soap4r: http://www.ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/soap/rdoc/files/soap/soap_rb.html b Robert Walker wrote:> The latest Ruby has some support for SOAP services.
