Has the soap/soap4r module changed recently?

[davew33]

I'm taking babysteps learning ruby. The following snippet of code
worked until last week, when our sysadmin applied some patches/updates
from Redhat.

require "soap/wsdlDriver"

wsdl = "HTTP://localhost:8181/customer"
soap = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl).create_rpc_driver
result = soap.list_cust({ "cust_id" => "0015000" })
@cust_name = result.list_custROOT.customer.name

Now however, I receive the following error when I try this in irb:

bash-3.1$ irb --simple-prompt=> #<SOAP::RPC:river:#<SOAP::RPC:roxy:HTTP://
davewalker.ivyhill-cinram.com:8181/customer>>SOAP::Mapping::MappingError: cannot find type {}string

Nothing has changed on either the database backend, or the soap
server. Just the updates to the Redhat development box. What am I
missing here?

Thanks,
