Problems with soap4r's wsdl2ruby.rb

[Ben Giddings]

I decided to try some things with soap4r's wsdl2ruby.rb script, and
unfortunately the first wsdl definition I tried to parse generated an
error, trying to call '.name' on a nil object.

I'm not sure what's going on, and wasn't able to find a way to turn on
debugging in the app to see where it is in the parse tree when things
blow up. I'm not sure where to go from here. I can't guarantee that
the wsdl file is valid either, so maybe that's where the problem is?

Anyhow, here's what I got when parsing the wsdl file here:

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Thank you for your interest.

I decided to try some things with soap4r's wsdl2ruby.rb script, and
unfortunately the first wsdl definition I tried to parse generated an
error, trying to call '.name' on a nil object.

Wsdl2ruby.rb should dump more friendly error message. Sorry for the
inconvenience.

I'm not sure what's going on, and wasn't able to find a way to turn on
debugging in the app to see where it is in the parse tree when things
blow up. I'm not sure where to go from here. I can't guarantee that
the wsdl file is valid either, so maybe that's where the problem is?

Anyhow, here's what I got when parsing the wsdl file here:

http://www.adessosystems.net/adessosql/adessosql.asmx?WSDL

I found the WSDL only defines 'style="document"' services. It is called
"document oriented service" in SOAP. For now, soap4r supports only rpc
oriented service but I'm working on partial document oriented service
support now. Please wait for a while.

No problem. You warned it was 'alpha' quality stuff, so I wasn't
surprised to have problems with it.

oriented service but I'm working on partial document oriented service

Ok, thanks. It's no rush, this is just a fun side project I'm doing.
Thanks for your efforts.

I have a WSDL file that contains an RPC style, and it works find with standard
Web service software. Am I misunderstanding your statement?

Here's the binding:

<binding name="SOAPBinding" type="tns:loanApprovalPT">
<soap:binding style="rpc"
transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>
<operation name="approve">
<soapperation soapAction="" style="rpc"/>
<input>
<soap:body use="encoded" namespace="urn:loanapprover"
encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>
</input>
<output>
<soap:body use="encoded" namespace="urn:loanapprover"
encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>
</output>
</operation>
</binding>

Hi,

I think I didn't write explicitly.

RPC style (style="rpc") is fully (I hope) supported (even if it isn't
documented). But document style is not supported for now. And I want
to add partial document style support in the next release of soap4r.

Or, am I misunderstand you? Is there any problem with style="rpc" WSDL?

Thank you. I understand now.

No, I misunderstood you (and I should have looked at the source).

Your English is infinitely better than my Japanese. Please don't take any time
away from soap4r to improve what is already excellent English

Hi,

It's good to hear soap4r/wsdl4r is working for you.

Your English is infinitely better than my Japanese. Please don't take any time

Thanks to your kind word. Domo Arigato.
