Rails - Aug 2006 - Could anyone can tell me how to invoke the remote web service in rails?

In J2EE development, there are a lot of tools helping us to generate
stubs using wsdl file. But in rails, it seems to me there is not the
tool like that. So i have a problem:

Does rails only need  web service location to invoke web service? Do we
need to configure somthing?
For example: Api definition.

Help me. Thanks.

Hi Ken,

Take a look at soap4r or the rails ActionWebService  
(http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/How+To+Consume+.NET+WebServices).  
If it''s doclit, soap4r and rails still don''t support that very
well. If
you''re trying to hit a complex doclit soap service and soap4r
doesn''t
help, try this:

To invoke a remote web service from a Rails app, I use soap4r with
wsdl2ruby to generate the client.  Something like:

    > ruby wsdl2ruby.rb --wsdl ''path or url to WSDL'' --type
client

That should generate 3 files like:

    Client.rb
    default.rb
    defaultDriver.rb

I like to rename them to be more descriptive than ''default''
like:

    NameOfService.rb
    NameOfServiceDriver.rb

Then, either copy those files to app''s lib directory and symlink from
the
app''s model directory like:

    name_of_service.rb -> ../../lib/NameOfServiceDriver.rb

Or, create a new model file that requires the driver and exposes
appropriate methods.
