Subject: Solution consuming .NET SOAP service

Hey all

I have been trying to consume a .NET exposed web-service with soap4r and
have found some things that might help others when doing the same thing

Oddly, soap4r interprted the following WSDL

<s:element name="GetAllProperties">
        <s:complexType>
          <s:sequence>
            <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="inUsername"
type="s:string" />
            <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="inPassword"
type="s:string" />
            <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="inAccountID"
type="s:string" />
          </s:sequence>
        </s:complexType>
      </s:element>

As only having the one paramater, inAccountID. So to get around this and
pass all three params as a struct object like this:

soap = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl).create_rpc_driver
Request = Struct.new(:inAccountID, :inUsername, :inPassword)
soap.GetAllProperties(Request.new('2', 'test', 'test'))

And as its a .NET WS, i had to employ the following also:

soap.default_encodingstyle = SOAP::EncodingStyle::ASPDotNetHandler.new

Hope this helps somone

Tim
