Subject: soap4r orders multi-element sequences incorrectly?

Hi all-

I'm building an app using soap4r v1.5.8 and I've generated client stubs
using wsdl2ruby.  I can retrieve a complex object but when I try to
'put' the same object I get an error from the API:

"Unmarshalling Error: cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found
starting with element 'n3:logicalOperation'. One of
'{"http://www.strongmail.com/services/2009/03/02/schema":condition}' is
expected."

When I examine the raw XML I see differences in the structure where the
error is being reported.  Here is the part of the XML returned for a
'get' operation:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Body>
    <getResponse
xmlns="http://www.strongmail.com/services/2009/03/02/schema">
      <success>true</success>
      <fault xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:nil="true" />
      <getResponse>
        <baseObject
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="Rule">
          <!-- snip -->
          <ifPart>
            <condition1>
              <column>table.code</column>
              <op>EQUALS</op>
              <value>IC</value>
            </condition1>
            <logicalOperation>AND</logicalOperation>
            <condition>
              <column>table.level</column>
              <op>NOT_ONE_OF</op>
              <value>gold,platinum</value>
            </condition>
            <logicalOperation>OR</logicalOperation>
            <condition>
              <column>table.level</column>
              <op>EQUALS</op>
              <value>none</value>
            </condition>
          </ifPart>
          <!-- snip -->
        </baseObject>
      </getResponse>
    </getResponse>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

And here's the XML generated by soap4r for the corresponding 'put'
request to the same API:

<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>
    <n3:create
xmlns:n3="http://www.strongmail.com/services/2009/03/02/schema">
      <n3:baseObject xsi:type="n3:Rule">
        <!-- snip -->
        <n3:ifPart>
          <n3:condition1>
            <n3:column>table.code</n3:column>
            <n3:op>EQUALS</n3:op>
            <n3:value>IC</n3:value>
          </n3:condition1>
          <n3:logicalOperation>AND</n3:logicalOperation>
          <n3:logicalOperation>OR</n3:logicalOperation> <!-- TOO SOON
-->
          <n3:condition> <!-- TOO LATE -->
            <n3:column>table.level</n3:column>
            <n3:op>NOT_ONE_OF</n3:op>
            <n3:value>gold,platinum</n3:value>
          </n3:condition>
          <n3:condition>
            <n3:column>table.level</n3:column>
            <n3:op>EQUALS</n3:op>
            <n3:value>none</n3:value>
          </n3:condition>
        </n3:ifPart>
        <!-- snip -->
      </n3:baseObject>
    </n3:create>
  </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

I create this request using the same Ruby object created by the original
response.  I would expect soap4r to generate identical XML for the
object, but notice how the ordering of elements differs - it should be
"condition1, logicalOperation(AND), condition, logicalOperation(OR),
condition".

When I inspect the Ruby object I see that logicalOperation and condition
are both Arrays containing the original values in the right order.  I
assume this is a correct transformation from the original XML using the
XSD/WSDL...  I'm hoping someone here knows more about the inner workings
of soap4r and can help me find a workaround.

Here's the relevant section from the XSD:

  <xs:complexType name="RuleIfPart">
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="condition1" type="tns:RuleIfPartCondition"/>
      <xs:sequence minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
        <xs:element name="logicalOperation"
type="tns:LogicalOperation"/>
        <xs:element name="condition" type="tns:RuleIfPartCondition"/>
      </xs:sequence>
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>

And here's the class generated by wsdl2ruby:

# {http://www.strongmail.com/services/2009/03/02/schema}RuleIfPart
#   condition1 - RuleIfPartCondition
#   logicalOperation - LogicalOperation
#   condition - RuleIfPartCondition
class RuleIfPart
  attr_accessor :condition1
  attr_accessor :logicalOperation
  attr_accessor :condition

  def initialize(condition1 = nil, logicalOperation = [], condition =
[])
    @condition1 = condition1
    @logicalOperation = logicalOperation
    @condition = condition
  end
end

The full WSDL and XSD are more than 4k lines - I can send them directly
if someone wants to peel them apart.  Any thoughts on how I can
workaround this issue?

Many thanks in advance!

-Justin
