Subject: SOAP / EncodingStyle

Hi.

I've been trying to do something with SOAP for hours with no luck. I
need to get a request that looks like :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
 <ns1:getEligibilite xmlns:ns1="urn:eligibilite">
  <nd xsi:type="xsd:string"
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">foobar</nd>
  <offre xmlns:ns2="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xsi:type="ns2:Array"
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
ns2:arrayType="xsd:int[15]">
    <item xsi:type="xsd:int">101</item>
    ...

and I get :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<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:getEligibilite xmlns:n1="urn:eligibilite"
        env:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
      <nd xsi:type="xsd:string">foobar</nd>
      <offre n2:arrayType="n1:int[3]"
          xmlns:n2="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
          xsi:type="n2:Array">
        <item xsi:type="xsd:int">101</item>
 ...

Note the encodingStyle specified in the n1 part of the XML, and not in
the nd part. The server gives me an error, and I beleive because of it.
The code currently looks like :

    106      map = SOAP::Mapping::Registry.new
    107      map.set(IntArray, SOAP::SOAPArray,
    108              SOAP::Mapping::Registry::TypedArrayFactory,
    109              { :type => XSD::QName.new('urn:eligibilite',
'int') })
    110
    111      # On met le mapper
    112      soap.mapping_registry = map
    113      soap.default_encodingstyle =
SOAP::EncodingStyle::SOAPHandler::Namespace
    114
    115      #soapObj = SOAP::Marshal.marshal( IntArray[ 101, 102, 103
], map )
    116
    117      soap.getEligibilite("foobar", IntArray[ 101, 102, 103
],"","something")


I've already spent hours on that soap part just to find documentation
to be able to send an Array of int[] ... Anyone has a
hint/documentation how I could fix my request and move on ? :)

Thanks.
