[SOAP] Setting the namespace of an object

[Dan Fitzpatrick]

I posted this to the soap mailing list but have not received any input.
Hopefully someone here knows the answer.

I am wondering how to change the namespace (xmlns) on the SetResponse
element from "http://www.ruby-lang.org/xmlns/ruby/type/custom" to a
different namespace using soap4r.

The following code produces the soap message below.

require 'soap/mapping'
require 'soap/processor'

class SetResult
attr_accessor :timestamp
attr_accessor :errorCode
attr_accessor :message
attr_accessor :id
attr_accessor :version
end

class SetResponse
attr_accessor :SetResult
end

response_object = SetResponse.new
result = SetResult.new
result.id = 1
result.version = 2
result.errorCode = 0
result.message = 'Update Successful'
result.timestamp = Time.new.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S')
response_object.SetResult = result

soap_header = SOAP::SOAPHeader.new
elename = SOAP::Mapping.name2elename('SetResponse')
mapping_registry = SOAP::Mapping::Registry.newallow_original_mapping
=> false)
soap_obj = SOAP::Mapping.obj2soap(response_object, mapping_registry)
body = SOAP::SOAPBody.new
body.add(elename, soap_obj)
soap = SOAP::SOAPEnvelope.new(soap_header, body)
puts SOAP:rocessor.marshal(soap, {}, nil)

Returns:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii" ?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<env:Body>
<SetResponse xmlns:n1="http://www.ruby-lang.org/xmlns/ruby/type/custom"
xsi:type="n1:SetResponse"
env:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<SetResult xsi:type="n1:SetResult">
<timestamp xsi:type="xsd:string">2006-03-09T02:25:56</timestamp>
<id xsi:type="xsd:int">1</id>
<version xsi:type="xsd:int">2</version>
<message xsi:type="xsd:string">Update Successful</message>
<errorCode xsi:type="xsd:int">0</errorCode>
</SetResult>
</SetResponse>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

I need to change:

<SetResponse
xmlns:n1="http://www.ruby-lang.org/xmlns/ruby/type/custom" ...

to for example:

<SetResponse xmlns="http://example.com/company" ...

I also do not need the xsi:type in the soap message either. How do you
hide those attributes?

Thanks,

Dan
