I'm trying to log into a Groupwise web service using the Groupwise WSDL
(http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/GroupWise_Web_Service_%28S...)
but I'm receiving this error :

Set XSD::XMLParser::XMLParser as XML processor.

The (primitive) code I'm using:

require 'soap/wsdlDriver'

WSDL_URL = "http://localhost/groupwise.wsdl"

param = {
        'auth' => 'PlainText',
        'language' => '',
        'version' => '',
        'username' => 'xxxx',
        'password' => 'xxxx'
        }

soap = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(WSDL_URL).create_rpc_driver

result = soap.loginRequest(param)

Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Thanks

So apparently ruby doesn't find a matching xml processor by itself.

... and doesn't find its openssl module either...

I guess your ruby/soap4r installation went somehow wrong. I'd
reinstall.

Thanks for that.  I've now re-installed and it has removed the two
errors below (openssl and XML processor).

However, the following error is still issued:

/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/soap/mapping/wsdlliteralregistry.rb:90:in
`obj2elesoap': cannot find type
{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}language
(SOAP::Mapping::MappingError)

Now, I'm very new to XML and SOAP, but I think this is triggered when
processing the following from types.xsd:

   <xs:element name="loginRequest">
      <xs:complexType>
         <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element name="auth" type="types:Authentication" />
            <xs:element name="language" type="xs:language" />
            <xs:element name="version" type="xs:decimal" />
            <xs:element name="application" type="xs:string"
minOccurs="0" />
         </xs:sequence>
      </xs:complexType>
   </xs:element>

I believe the error is saying that type "language" is not defined in
the 2001 XMLSchema.  However, when I look in that schema, I find (I
think) that type "language" IS defined:

<xs:simpleType name="language" id="language">
 <xs:annotation>
  <xs:documentation
source="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#language"/>
 </xs:annotation>
 <xs:restriction base="xs:token">
  <xs:pattern value="[a-zA-Z]{1,8}(-[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,8})*"
id="language.pattern">
   <xs:annotation>
    <xs:documentation source="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3066.txt">
         pattern specifies the content of section 2.12 of XML 1.0e2
         and RFC 3066 (Revised version of RFC 1766).
    </xs:documentation>
   </xs:annotation>
  </xs:pattern>
 </xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>

Am I way off in my assumptions?  If not, what could be wrong?

Just an update.  Installing the latest soap4r tarball (soap4r-20060830)
fixed this problem.

Now I just need to work out how xsi:type tags are added when using
wsdl2ruby......

Hi,

You didn't have to re-install it.  Those messages are dumped only when
you run ruby with -d option.  Soap4r tries to detect http-access2 or
net/http for HTTP communication, REXML, xmlscan and XMLParser for XML
processing.

Hmm.  Soap4r does not support following datatypes (including
xsd:language) for now.

  #3.3.2 token
  #3.3.3 language
  #3.3.4 NMTOKEN
  #3.3.5 NMTOKENS
  #3.3.6 Name
  #3.3.7 NCName
  #3.3.8 ID
  #3.3.9 IDREF
  #3.3.10 IDREFS
  #3.3.11 ENTITY
  #3.3.12 ENTITIES

Fixed?  Really?  Latest tarball does not support xsd:language, too...

Can you explain what is the problem?  What's the SOAP message you must
generate?  What soap4r generates instead?  Does
  driver.generate_explicit_type = true
help?

Regards,
// NaHi
