Subject: SOAP (NDFD weather web service) question

Hi,

Did by any chance anybody get the NDFD weather web service 
(http://www.nws.noaa.gov/forecasts/xml/#use_it) to work in Ruby? Being 
new to SOAP/Ruby, here is what I (unsuccessfully) tried:

require 'soap/rpc/driver'
ndfd = 
SOAP::RPC::Driver.new('http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/xml/SOAP_server/ndfdXMLserver.php', 
'http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/xml/DWMLgen/wsdl/ndfdXML.wsdl')
ndfd.add_method('NDFDgenByDay')
puts ndfd.NDFDgenByDay(38.99, -77.99, '24 hourly', '2004-04-27', 3)


When I run the script I get the following error:

/usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/rpc/driver.rb:230:in `NDFDgenByDay': wrong 
number of arguments (5 for 0) (ArgumentError)
        from weather.rb:6

I also tried to call the method like this:

puts ndfd.NDFDgenByDay('Latitude' => 38.99, 'Longitude' => -77.99, 
'Format' => '24 hourly', 'Start Date' => '2004-04-27', 'Number of Days' 
=> 3)

but got the same error


I just don't get why the method seems to expect "O" arguments?

Ingo
