Hi,
sorry, you are right. I've tested a ASP.NET service with both soap4r 
1.5.4 and the version that ships with ruby 1.8.2 (i think soap4r 1.5.3).
With 1.5.3 all env:Body elements have the namespace n1, with 1.5.4 not.
As a result, the ASP.NET service did not find the parameters, because of 
the missing namespace, and sets the parametera to "null". So, with 1.5.3 
the return value of ASP.NET in this example is "Hello, Mike", with 1.5.4 
it return only "Hello,".

Here are the results.

With 1.5.4:

<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>
     <n1:SayHello xmlns:n1="http://localhost/WebService/" 
env:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
       <name xsi:type="xsd:string">Mike</name>
     </n1:SayHello>
   </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>


And with 1.5.3:

<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>
     <n1:SayHello xmlns:n1="http://localhost/WebService/">
       <n1:name>Mike</n1:name>
     </n1:SayHello>
   </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

The code is:

require "soap/rpc/driver"
include SOAP::RPC

class Test
   def initialize()
     @driver = 		 
Driver.new('http://127.0.0.1:80/WebService/Service1.asmx','http://localhost/WebService/')
     @driver.default_encodingstyle = 
SOAP::EncodingStyle::ASPDotNetHandler::Namespace
     @driver.add_method_with_soapaction
     ('SayHello','http://localhost/WebService/SayHello','name')
     puts("Ergebnis: " + @driver.SayHello("Mike"))
   end
end

Test.new()
