similar to: currency conversion webservice in a rails app?

Hi, I''m using a webservice in my application. How can I make it so that my application will only try to connect to the webservice for a certain period of time and then give up? Right now my code is using a begin-rescue-else but sometimes I get a "execution expired" error if the webservice is not available or takes too long to respond. Thanks, Peter begin service =

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,

I''m thinking of experimenting with some currency conversion. However, I''d like the conversions to be in synch with the current rates. Anyone know (and this maybe out in left field) if there is some online (perhaps xml) or other data stream I can connect with in my code to output values based on user selection ? TIA Stuart

I''m trying to connect to a SOAP interface using Rails and I''m running into a snag. I''m relatively new to Rails at this point and am in the very beginning stages of understanding how the system works. Currently I''m running into a error that looks like this: -------------------------------------------- Missing API definition file in apis/amazon_api.rb

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

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

Hi, Is it possible to use web_client_api or ActionWebService::Client::Soap.new within an ActiveRecord model to access a webservice? Thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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:

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

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,

I''m building a users web service (direct dispatching) that will (I hope) allow several other applications to manage the same pool of users. Plus it will act as a single-sign-on solution for what I''m doing. But I''m having difficulty accessing the UserAPI. Here''s what I''ve done so far: $> rails usermanagement - "usermanagement" is the

I am writting a web service for authenitcation of users and was using web_service_scaffold :invoke for testing it out...and was able to consume it using .NET. But my question is, whats the simplest method using which i can use the same web service in the current Web App. I mean, not from an external application or something but from the current web apps itself. I found one method in AWDR, and

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 read the (scant) documentation on the datanoise actionwebservice gems and can''t figure out how you are supposed to structure the SOAP client. Has anybody ever used actionwebservice as a client? If so could somebody please put a sample someplace?

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.
