The suggested approach for developing a web service using ActionWebService appears to be start by defining the API you want and then you can generate WSDL. I want to start from WSDL. I''ve tried wsdl2ruby but the Ruby code it generates does not appear to play well with Rails. Is there a way I can get what I want? I''m new at this so if the answer is a forehead slapper,

<noobalert> Uh, yeah. So my noob self is showing through again. I''m trying to write a simple hello-world type web service with the ActionWebService thingy. I didn''t get very far. I''ve only done web services stuff in .NET, so I''m not exactly used to this sort of thing. Anyhow, I have a file, person_api.rb in my app/apis folder. I want to take a single

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

I have create a web service to expose data from my application and am wondering why the associations are not showing up as values in my WSDL or SOAP response. In active record I have enabled eager loading so that the object set as the return type for the service call has all the associated data prior to the response. However, the associations are not showing up. Anyone have any ideas? I can

Hi all, Ruby 1.8.4 Rails 1.1.2 I''m a newb when it comes to SOAP, but I thought I''d give it a shot. I have several web services defined. However, when I try to connect with a SOAP client it seems the client is only picking up one of the services, called Hardware. require ''soap/wsdlDriver'' wsdl_url =

I''m working on building a SOAP client with AWS, i.e: class PersonAPI < ActionWebService::API::Base api_method :find_all, :returns => [[Person]] end soap_client = ActionWebService::Client::Soap.new(PersonAPI, "http://...") persons = soap_client.find_all This works well but I think it breaks down quickly when you try to do real world work. Lets take a moderately

I''m working on a rails app where I''d like to have a session-based SOAP API. That is, I''d like to connect via SSL and have a ''login'' method followed by one or more other methods. I''m using the ActionWebService::Client::Soap class to connect to my app, but each method invocation results in a new session on the server (WEBrick, at the

I''m currently writing an app that provides a Web Service. I''ve got a model Header and an associated has_one HeaderImage and I''m trying to find a way to make this data available. Defining a normal API: api_method :header, :expects => [{''id'' => :int}], :returns => [Header] Only returns the header object without associations, has anyone got

Hi, After following the excellent tutorials in the Agile Web Development with Rails book, I was able to get my webservice working pretty much perfectly :) I can access it via SOAP and XML-RPC and look at service.wsdl to find the API. What I can''t do however is get the API for the XML-RPC call. It fails with : Internal protocol error: NilClass is not a valid input stream. It must

Seeing as how the new Basecamp API reflects a similar use of RoR that I have been working on I''m curious as to what we can expect to be extracted from there in 0.13? Was the API written as an ActionWebService or just as a set of controllers? Any generic AR xml parsing/output methods that we may see in 0.13? Any reason you decided to do everything with HTTP Get instead of utilizing

We currently have a SOAP server that processes incoming requests. I''d like to rewrite this system (maintaining the same SOAP interfaces) utilizing RoR. What is the easiest way to go about this? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am trying to code a Web Service in rails that can handle file uploads. Now as i read, SOAP 1.1 doesn''t support this yet..so i will have to use SOAP4R, right? This is fine from server side...but will this API will be compatible to .NET clients, which will be using standard SOAP API perhaps. Any idea, whats the way to go here?

I''m trying to consume a webservice from my rails application and have discovered an interesting problem. I can call webservice functions just fine, as long as they do not require any arguments, but function that do require arguments do not work. The arguments are sent as either null or an empty string. My API has these method definitions: api_method :otherFunction,

Hi, I have an ActionWebService set up and I am wondering if it is possible to return related models through its intrinsic support for ActiveRecord. For instance, suppose I have an Author model that has_many Books. I would like to return a particular author and all of their books in one SOAP message. For now, I''ve been deconstructing the ActiveRecord Model and stuffing it all into

I''m working with an ActionWebService client talking to an ActionWebService server through one of DataPower''s XS40 XML Security Gateways. One of the intrinsic functions of this gateway is automatic SOAP schema validation. When testing some failure cases, I noticed that SOAP Faults returned by ActionWebService aren''t schema valid to the SOAP 1.1 schema, specifically:

Hi, We''ve a pretty large rails application and we are currently deciding moving a part of the application front-end to a desktop GUI. For communication between application and GUI we decided to use an API. So basically what I need is a way to have our models functionality accessible by the GUI. The basic idea: Rails app provides API for models <-> HTTPS Connection <-> GUI

Hi, I just upgraded to soap4r 1.5.5, and now all my Rails Functional tests for the action_web_services fail as follows, any ideas what I did wrong? Thanks TypeError: can''t modify frozen object /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/xsd/qname.rb:78:in `name='' /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/rpc/element.rb:118:in `set_param''

Hi First off, I apologise if this is covered somewhere and I just don''t get it... I''ve looked far and wide .... As a part of my current project I need to hook up to a particular XMLRPC webservice that won''t be available for me to use until close to launch date... So I am trying to recreate the webservice that mirrors the live one so I can test my application

So I have created a bunch of code and had it wrappered nicely as a web service using the standard soap.rpc stuff that packs with Ruby, but I needed to be able to generate a WSDL file to go with it and from what I can tell the easiest way to do that is to switch to ActionWebService with Rails. I''ve read through the AWS book which is fine but I don''t quite know enough about how

For some time now I try to get my code working. This Monday I switched to RJS (first with 1.0 + plugin) and yesterday to Edge Rails, so I guess I''ve been using the most recent version. I have a div with id="detail" which I want to update with a partial. If I''m using page.replace_html the content will be replaced with text, i.e. the javascript won''t become
