Hello All, I have used IBM suplied ws.js which uses protitype.js version 1.3.1 for creating SOAP Envelopes and invoking the web services. Now I see newer version of protoTYpe.js (1.5.0). I would really appreciate if anyone can tell me the difference and its impact on using newer version of protoType.js.

That''s about 18 months old! You''ll get a full list of changes by simply looking at the changelog [1], although the numerous fixes from 1.3.1 to 1.4.0 are not in there anymore. There''s been a HUMONGOUS amount of change, so I don''t quite see how to sum them up for you. Since you''re shifting to a new version, I think using 1.5.1 (which should hit final anytime soon) will be best, as it has significant improvements over 1.5.0, especially performance-wise. (and btw, "Prototype" is capitalized this way ;-)) [1] http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/spinoffs/prototype/tags/rel_1-5-1_rc2/CHANGELOG -- Christophe Porteneuve aka TDD tdd-x+CfDp/qHev2eFz/2MeuCQ@public.gmane.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

Re: Difference between ProtoType 1.5.0 and ProtoType 1.3.1
Hi, I''ve used the IBM SOAP library, it won''t run under Prototype v1.4 or 1.5. It breaks on something fairly fundamental - might even be Object.prototype.extend(), I don''t remember now. I don''t think the SOAP library is being actively maintained, so if you want to update it to Prototype 1.5, you''d be best to do it yourself. My $0.02 on the library - It does a decent job of sending the request, but more or less leaves you to wade through the XML manually when the response comes in. I haven''t come across any better JS libraries for working with SOAP, though - my favoured approach is to consume the SOAP on the server and then send something simpler up to the JS layer.
