SOAP4R API question - INSTRUCTIONS

I will be creating very good documents for all of you to use later on.
Right
now I need to get this project done so I can get paid.

My original question was how could I get in the body of SOAP this..

<Getcustomer ..xml stuff>
  <name ..xml stuff>High paying cusomters</name>
  ....122 entries..
<Getcustomer>

The answer to the problem was to implement a special array

myfile.rb --------------------------------------
require 'soap/marshal'

#licensed public domain
class GetCustomer; include SOAP::Marshallable
# must include to marshalize data

# multiple lines for readability
  attr_accessor :name
  attr_accessor :phoneNo
  attr_accessor :otherEntry # wont show because I didn't set it

  def initialize(setName,setPhoneNo)
    @name, @phoneNo = setName, setPhoneNo
    # must set instance variables or soap entries do not show
    # the order of assignment matters.
    # if @name, @phoneNo = setName, setPhoneNo then

···

#
    # <phoneNo xsi:type="xsd:string">965-7516</phoneNo>
    # <name xsi:type="xsd:string">Edward Sirg</name>
    #
    # if @phoneNo, @name = setPhoneNo, setName
    #
    # <name xsi:type="xsd:string">Edward Sirg</name>
    # <phoneNo xsi:type="xsd:string">965-7516</phoneNo>
  end
end

customer = [
  GetCustomer.new("John Doe","555-555-555"),
  GetCustomer.new("Edward Sirg","965-7516")
]

if $0 == __FILE__
  customer.each do |cPerson|
    print SOAP::Marshal.marshal(cPerson)
  end
end
--------------------------------------------
Output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema&quot;
    xmlns:env="Error;
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&quot;&gt;
  <env:Body>
    <GetCustomer xmlns:n1="http://www.ruby-lang.org/xmlns/ruby/type/custom&quot;
        xsi:type="n1:GetCustomer"
        env:encodingStyle="Error;
      <name xsi:type="xsd:string">John Doe</name>
      <phoneNo xsi:type="xsd:string">555-555-555</phoneNo>
    </GetCustomer>
  </env:Body>
</env:Envelope><?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema&quot;
    xmlns:env="Error;
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&quot;&gt;
  <env:Body>
    <GetCustomer xmlns:n1="http://www.ruby-lang.org/xmlns/ruby/type/custom&quot;
        xsi:type="n1:GetCustomer"
        env:encodingStyle="Error;
      <name xsi:type="xsd:string">Edward Sirg</name>
      <phoneNo xsi:type="xsd:string">965-7516</phoneNo>
    </GetCustomer>
  </env:Body>

Of course this can be inserted into a SOAP service with ease. Well im out
to
finish my project. Talk later --David Ross

Er, how did you solve your problem? For the rest of us who are just
reading about this, can you be more specific?
