Rails - Apr 2006 - ActionWebService and namespaces

Hi all,
I''ve tried to search the mailing list, web, etc. and haven''t
found
anything that seems to answer my question.

I have a WSDL for a web service written in Java, and I''m trying to 
consume it in ruby using ActionWebService.  I''ve created my API and
some
struct classes.  I''ve found the :namespace option to 
ActionWebService::Client::Soap.new, but when I try to invoke an action 
on the web service I get the following error:

: No Deserializer found to deserialize a 
''urn:rocis-ws-pra-service-IROCIS_PRA_WS:Rocis_ws_pra_service_ROCISSecurityBean''
using encoding style
''http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/''.
[java.lang.IllegalArgumentException] (SOAP::FaultError)
>From what I gather, this means that my namespaces and element names 
(i.e. class names) are not matching up with those declared in the WSDL 
file.  There are two problems:

1. The WSDL uses multiple namespaces (one for the SOAP action 
declarations and one for the schema declarations for the input/output of 
those actions, and some others), and I''m not sure which one I should be
sending to the :namespace option.  I''ve tried all of them in turn.  My 
impression is that AWS expects the whole WSDL to use a single namespace 
for declaration of actions, data, etc.

2. The XML element that I''m trying to send is actually 
"rocis_ws_pra_service_ROCISSecurityBean", but in ruby, classes must be
capitalized so it''s getting sent that way.

One of both of these could be contributing to my problem.  Is there a 
way to declare an ActionWebService::Struct and tell it to use a specific 
namespace and element name when it is marshalled?  Or can I somehow 
convince ruby to allow me to declare a class with a name that starts 
with a lowercase letter?

I''m not sure I can send the WSDL file, but if more information is
needed
I can try to duplicate the problem with a clean room WSDL.

TIA,
Paul Stadig

ActionWebService::Client::Soap is not a general-purpose client. If you need
a interoperability with other SOAP frameworks, you are better of using
soap4r directly.

Thanks for the reply.  I was able to get it to work with soap4r, though 
I had a bit of trouble figuring out how to use the wsdl2ruby script.
