When using the SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory to talk to webservices the form
tag of some elements is not honored. If you look at the wsdl below you
will see that the schemas ‘elementFormDefault=“qualified”’ but the
complexType sequence elements have a ‘form=“unqualified”’ tag. The
generated soap request is not correct. It adds the namespace for the
sequence elements of the complexType anyway. This also happens with the
classes generated using the WSDL2Ruby class to generate classdef’s. I
was able to get around it by generating a driver with WSDL2Ruby and
setting the flag on the in parameters to false and then modifying the
classdef generated file for the complexType to have nil namespaces in
the @@schema_element. Also it seems wrong for the response that I do
not have to set the flag on the out parameters of the generated driver
class to false or change the @@schema_element in the classdef generated
file and it still properly handlers the response xml that does not have
the namespace on its complex type sequence elements.
GENERATED REQUEST:
