Hello, I’m using SOAP4R and trying to parse a WSDL file. However, I get this error: [ianmacd@sagan]$ ./test3 Unknown element {[http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema](http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema)}simpleType. Unknown element {[http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema](http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema)}simpleType. Unknown element {[http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema](http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema)}simpleType. Unknown element {[http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema](http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema)}simpleType. Unknown element {[http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema](http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema)}simpleType. Unknown element {[http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema](http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema)}simpleType. /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/wsdl/soap/operation.rb:107:in `param\_info’: soap:body parts (NotImplementedError) There seems to be something in the WSDL that SOAP4R doesn’t like. AFAIK, the same file works fine with other languages’ WSDL parsers. Is there a way around this kind of thing?

Could be. If “part” attribute of soap:body element lists all parts of the message defined, it can be ignored… Regards, // NaHi ---

Thanks. I implemented this feature. I’ve commited the change. Main trunk (1.9) of the CVS of ruby and the CVS of soap4r are updated. Attached patch should be able to applied to ruby\_1\_8 branch of the CVS of ruby and released 1.8.1. By the way, the WSDL you sent includes soap:header definition for session management. Soap4r now only offers very low level API for SOAP header handling. The developing code of high level API for easy use is in the CVS of soap4r (not in the CVS of ruby). I’ll be able to post a sample usage of this API within this week. Regards, // NaHi [parts.diff.txt](https://rubytalk.org/uploads/short-url/7fCvB1BrufWf8ZhCnMabUuORNoC.txt) (2.66 KB) ---

OK, but I’m not sure exactly how this applies to me. If I try to run my test script with the patched SOAP4R, I now get this: [ianmacd@sagan]$ ./test3 Restriction of basetype with simpleType definition is ignored for now. Unknown element {[XML Schema](http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema)}simpleType. Restriction of basetype with simpleType definition is ignored for now. Unknown element {[XML Schema](http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema)}simpleType. Restriction of basetype with simpleType definition is ignored for now. Unknown element {[XML Schema](http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema)}simpleType. Restriction of basetype with simpleType definition is ignored for now. Unknown element {[XML Schema](http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema)}simpleType. Restriction of basetype with simpleType definition is ignored for now. Unknown element {[XML Schema](http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema)}simpleType. Restriction of basetype with simpleType definition is ignored for now. Unknown element {[XML Schema](http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema)}simpleType. Is that the same thing you’re talking about? Is there any way I can modify the WSDL file to work around this issue?

No. Sorry for the unclear explanation. Above messages warns that wsdl4r just ignored “simpleType” definition in the WSDL. Just ignore these warning for now… For example, “simpleType” is for restricting lexical space of the user-defined type. \ With this WSDL, bin/wsdl2ruby.rb generates following class definition. # urn:www.example.com:rotr class Order @@schema\_type = “Order” @@schema\_ns = “urn:www.example.com:rotr” def item @item end def item=(value) @item = value end def quantity @quantity end def quantity=(value) @quantity = value end def initialize(item = nil, quantity = nil) @item = item @quantity = quantity end end But item value should be restricted that it is one of “fotr”, “ttt”, and “rotk” in the future.

OK. I now understand that it’s just for enumeration types. Well, it seems that the WSDL now parses correctly. However, with this code: wsdl = ‘partner.wsdl’ soap = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl).createDriver username = “[ian@caliban.org](mailto:ian@caliban.org)” password = “xxxxxx” soap = soap.login(username, password) I now get this: /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/wsdlDriver.rb:307:in `header_from_obj': No header definition in schema. (RuntimeError) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/wsdlDriver.rb:246:in `document\_send’ from (eval):2:in `login’ from ./test3:15 Sorry to keep bugging you about this stuff. Any ideas?
