Hi Brendon, I discovered the problem lay with invoking the client with the -d flag of all things! In any case, thanks again for the excellent tutorial!

Hmm, sorry Roman, it's been so long since I did anything with this code that there's no tips I can really offer on what might be causing this issue. You might post to the soap4r Google Group to see if anyone there has had this problem.

Hey Brendon, great tutorial but I’m having an issue connecting to the web service after generating the methods from the wsdl.

Calling the client:

$ jruby -S awsecommerceserviceclient.rb -d

produces:

C:/Program Files/jruby-1.4.0/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/httpclient-2.1.5.2/lib/httpclient/session.rb:675:in `initialize’: Connection refused – Connection refused (://:0) (Errno::ECONNREFUSED)

from C:/workspace/awsecommerceserviceclient.rb:20

I suspect it’s not parsing the url correctly, hence the ://:0
I get the same issue trying to connect to another web service.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Amazon now requires you digitally sign requests. See the AWS developer documentation for details on how to digitally sign your SOAP requests.

Hi friends,

I’m completely new to WSDL so please be tolerant if I’m asking a very stupid question. )

I tried running the code and am receiving the following error message..

Hi All,

I have a different type of problem.

One of our client had created a WSDL in ASP and sent it over asking us to implement the same structure in ruby. I need to write a server app using these WSDLs.

wsdl2ruby.rb –wsdl /home/Test.wsdl –type server –force

using this command i got 4 ruby files such as… default.rb, defaultServant.rb, defaultMappingRegistry.rb, TestService.rb

using these files how can i write a webservice server applicaiton?

Thanks in advance,

Vipin
