I am having some problems putting a hash into an criteria element in a
body of a SOAP request. I managed to pass in a int for another element
in the body, but I am lost on the hash. Below I copied the code, the
output, and some info from the wsdl. Sorry for the obfuscation on the
names, but its in an internal web service.

Any help or pointers in the right direction would be great.

thanks,

bryce

Code:

require 'pp'
require 'soap/wsdlDriver'
require 'soap/header/simplehandler'

#~ require 'ruby-debug'

class ClientAuthHeaderHandler < SOAP::Header::SimpleHandler

  def initialize(Foo2, Foo3, Foo1, Foo10, Foo8, Foo7, Foo8)
    super(XSD::QName.new("Foo.Service.LeadService", "AuthHeader"))
    @Foo2 = Foo2
    @Foo3= passwd
    @Foo1 = Foo1
    @Foo8 = Foo8
    @Foo10 = Foo10
    @Foo7 = Foo7
    @Foo8 = Foo8
    @Foo4 = 'c'
    @Foo5 = 'c'
    @Foo6 = 'c'
  end

  def on_simple_outbound
    { "Foo2" => @Foo2,
       "Foo3" => @Foo3,
       "Foo1" => @Foo1,
       "Foo8" => @Foo8,
       "Foo10" => @Foo10,
       "Foo7" => @Foo7,
       "Foo8" => @Foo8,
       "Foo4" => @Foo4,
       "Foo5" => @Foo5,
       "Foo6" => @Foo6,
       }
  end

  def on_simple_inbound(my_header, mustunderstand)
    #~ @sessionid = my_header["sessionid"]
  end

end

wsdl = 'http://Fooservice.test.com/FooService.asmx?wsdl'
driver = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl).create_rpc_driver
driver.wiredump_dev = STDOUT
h = ClientAuthHeaderHandler.new('test', 'test', 1, 1, 0, 123, 'test1')
driver.headerhandler << h

#pp driver.methods

#~ puts driver.methods

criteria = {:Name=> "name", :Value=>"testuser"}

criteriaLead = {}
criteriaLead[:page] = "1"
criteriaLead[:CriteriaList] = {:Criteria=> [criteria]}

Unless I'm really confused about what you're trying to do, the reason
your hash is showing up in the headers is simply because you're using
a header handler to inject them there. I don't really think that's
what you meant to do. I think you want to be passing the hash as an
argument to whatever method you're calling (though none of those in
the output of driver.methods look like likely candidates, and I'm not
very good at reading WSDL files yet, so I'm unsure where to steer you
exactly).

I just really don't think you want to be using a header handler to
inject the hash, because that's putting it in the headers, rather than
in the body where I think it belongs.

Hope this is somehow helpful . . .
