Hi,

i am currently doing my first steps with soap4r and ruby. The first things  
work really good. I can call a function of the webservice and I receive  
the data, the function returns. But now I want to integrate the wsdl -  
file. I am very new to soap and wsdl. The wsdl file describes some data  
structures and some functions don´t only return a string, or a int. They  
return such a data structure defined in the wsdl-file. Now: How can I  
integrate this file and use the structures in my program?

Thanks

Mike

Hi,

well i found the solution 🙂 There is nothing to do in Ruby :)) Simply  
connecting to the webservice and using the structure. It simply works. Its  
fantastic.

Greetings
