Hey all Ok, this is what i want to achive... Im actually developing an hybrid workflow controller, that uses JDF and JMF (see http://www.cip4.org/overview/overview.html#What_Is_JDF for more) - however, i have the situation where i need to send the JMF messages to my hardware output devices JMF portal over HTTP post and with a specified content-length header. Now, i know how to set headers and the like, HTTP post is also simple enough. But the actual JMF and JDF messages are just XML, just like SOAP/XML-RPC. So i was wondering if there was anyway i could leverage the action_web_services framework to basicly create a new client? As i see that SOAP for instance is set up like this... module ActionWebService # :nodoc: module Client # :nodoc: # Implements SOAP client support (using RPC encoding for the messages). # class Soap < Base ... end end end I also noticed that there was "+endpoint_uri+ must point at the relevant URL to which protocol requests will be sent with HTTP POST" So, does that mean if i create a new client, i could make it work and send the messages how i wanted it to send them? Also, i noticed that in the rails trunk it requires the "soap/rpc/driver" and "uri" libs, im guessing quite a bit of the functionality for that client comes from that SOAP ruby lib? I guess the bottom line of what im asking is can i use actionwebservice to send my JMF messages without it adding any SOAP/XML-RPC gubbins on top? Otherwise, if i write my own client, would this stop it adding anything to my JMF messages im sending?
