Subject: Re: Trouble creating a SOAP client

That helps. From the output, I was able to tell that the soap action was not
being set so instead of add_method, I now call
oapProxy.add_method_with_soapaction('ContactNew', NAMESPACE + 'ContactNew')

I'm getting the right response back from the web service when I call
ContactNew, but I'm unable to set the FirstName property on the object
returned from the call. Below is the server response after the call to
ContactNew

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body><ContactNewResponse
xmlns="http://inovaware.com/prism/"><ContactNewResult><ContactKey
xsi:nil="true" /><ContactID /><NamePrefix /><NameTitle /><FirstName
/><LastName /><NameSuffix /><Pronunciation /><JobTitle /><Company
/><AddressLine1 /><AddressLine2 /><City /><MailRegion /><MailCode /><Country
/><WorkNumber /><FAXNumber /><HomeNumber /><MobileNumber /><PagerNumber
/><EMailAddress /><BirthDate xsi:nil="true" /><Login /><Password
/><ModifyCount>0</ModifyCount></ContactNewResult></ContactNewResponse></soap
:Body></soap:Envelope>

And this is the call that fails:
contact = soapProxy.ContactNew
contact.FirstName = "TestFromRuby"

with the following error:
undefined method `FirstName=' for #<SOAP::Mapping::Object:0x3809a70>

Can I see a wiredump of the request?

soapProxy.wiredump_dev = STDERR

Please add the above line here.  Though I don't know where I get STDERR
outputs in Rails environment...
