Subject: SOAP Request Problem

I've posted about this before but so far I've had no response. Since then 
I've also been to #ruby and #rubyonrails on Freenode but still nothing so 
I thought I'd post one last time.

===================

I'm trying to use a web service and I have found two ways to go about it.

Option 1
========
I use SOAP4r and I get a response from the service but in a format I'm 
unable to extract data from:

E.g.

<SOAP::Mapping:bject:0x4c42486
{http://webservices.globaladdress.net}ProcessAddressResult="true"
{http://webservices.globaladdress.net}
tmpContact=#<SOAP::Mapping:bject:0x4c41536
{http://webservices.globaladdress.net}AddressLine1="1 Murray Street"
{http://webservices.globaladdress.net}AddressLine2="Annan"
{http://webservices.globaladdress.net}AddressLine3="DG12 6EG"
{http://webservices.globaladdress.net}AddressLine4="United Kingdom" etc...

For instance, I don't know how I can access AddressLine3. If I could do 
that then this problem is solved.


Option 2
========
I use wsdl2ruby. This method returns data in a format I can use. I can 
access elements by using something like response.AddressLine3 etc.

Unfortunately, using wsdl2ruby, I can't seem to create the correct XML 
elements.

E.g. When I specify addressline1 and postcode they don't appear as 
<n1:addressline1> and <n1:postcode>


<n1:username>username</n1:username>
<n1:password>password</n1:password>
<n1:tmpContact>
    <addressline1>1</addressline1>
    <postcode>dg12 6eg</postcode>
</n1:tmpContact>

If I could specify these elements with n1: infront of them then this is 
another solution that would work but so far I can't do either.
