Hey all,
I thought I remembered seeing a comment about ActionWebService being deprecated in favor of something else in the latest Rails Edge.
Is that true or did I dream it? What is the ongoing story for web services in Ruby? Can anyone comment about such things as SOAP request authentication and support for WS-Security?
Last I looked, there were no pure Ruby XML canonicalization libraries, which kinda foils that plan.
Peace,
Chris
Have a look at the wss4r project at rubyforge.org.
I haven't used it myself, so I can't comment.

look at www.rubyforge.org/projects/wss4r for a pure-ruby WS-Security implementation. It contains a rudiment xml canonicalizer. The problems with the canonicalizer are more or less problems with the underlying xml parser, REXML in this case.
I think first we need other xml parsers (perhaps libXML?) before we can think of WS-Security.

Thanks and I completely agree.
Struggling with not being able to use REXML in canonicalization is one of the things that brought me to ask. I really didn't want to fall back on native code libraries for this, but I'm pragmatic and willing to accept bindings to libXML, etc. if that's the shortest road to a working solution.
Cheers,
Chris

i think the shortest road to XML/WS-security in ruby would be a binding to something like xmlsec (www.aleksey.com/xmlsec).
But using native libraries for everything is perhaps not the right way.
