Subject: Re: soap4r. I just dont get it.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

client.generate_explicit_type statement generate an error
undefined method 'generate_explicit_type=' for 
#<SOAP::RPC::Driver:0x2830c08> (NoMethodError)

So I commented it out but still receives the same error
#<SOAP::Mapping::Object:0x2ba5268>: Fault occurred --> 
System.Xml.XmlElement (SOAP::FaultError)

I wonder if I should just skip the soap4r and simply use ruby to do a 
simple http post with my own soap content? Would this be not adviable?
Many thanks!!
