Hi,

Perhaps someone can tell me where I can get some help  
with the soap/wsdlDriver module ?  
I have posted my problem on this list before  
under the title SOAP/WSDL/BETFAIR (see below)  
but , responses have been scarce so far.  
Is this the correct list for such problems ?

Regards,

Help Needed: SOAP/WSDL/BETFAIR  
Hi,

I have been making a foray into the world of SOAP/WSDL etc and having  
been encouraged with the success of running the googleapi demo code,  
I thought I would have a go with Betfair.

Alas, things are not going well,  
and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong  
or if the library module 'soap/wsdlDriver' is faulty  
or does not support the BFService.wsdl document.

The login request sequence works great,  
but any other requests fail (eg., getAllEventTypes, logout)  
because the parameters do not get generated  
in the request document which is sent to Betfair,  
which seems to indicate a bug in soap/wsdlDriver.rb,  
or in the way I have setup the parameters.

I have included the wiredumps for the 'login' and 'getAllEventTypes'  
requests  
as comments in the codefollowing, and you will see that  
the \<n1:request\> element for 'login' is formatted as per the parameters  
passed to login ,  
but the one for 'getAllEventTypes' is empty.

Any suggestions ?  
(I tried to debug the soap code, but it was all beyond my abilities)

Regards,

Tad
