Hi...
    With an updated Ruby and http-access2, I nearly have this working:
WSDL is parsed correctly, basic authentication is working.  Thanks!
    Is the following syntax correct to invoke a SOAP service called
"WebService" with 3 arguments that are strings?

soap = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(WSDL_URL).create_rpc_driver
soap.options["protocol.http.basic_auth"] <<
  [WSDL_URL, "user", "password"]
#soap.options["protocol.http.ssl_config.verify_mode"] = nil

result = soap.WebService('arg1','arg2','arg3')
puts result

What I find is that WebService is invoked, but the values that should
contain the arguments are empty.  I've also tried
("arg1","arg2","arg3") and
(["arg1","arg2","arg3"])
without success.  (Although I did get a "wrong number of arguments"
error when I tried the array, so *something* is reading the arguments.)

The document literal way would look like:
soap.WebService(:arg1 => 'value1',:arg2 => 'value2', :arg3 => 'value3')
but is really hard to tell without seein the wsdl.

######################################
</wsdl:message>
                        <wsdl:message name='WebService'><wsdl:part name='FirstArg'
type='xsd:string'/><wsdl:part name='SecondArg'
type='xsd:string'/><wsdl:part name='ThirdArg' type='xsd:string'/>
                        </wsdl:message>
#####################################
<wsdl:input>
                                                                <soap:body use='encoded' namespace='fooapi'
encodingStyle='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'/>
                                                        </wsdl:input>
####################################

Is 'encoded" different than 'rpc/encoded'?

I see that you use relative namespaces. Nothing to do with this
problem, but it is a good idea to avoid them if possible.

The whole WSDL is gigantic.  I wonder if the POST message would yield
any clues?

my code
###########
soap = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(WSDL_URL).create_rpc_driver
soap.options["protocol.http.basic_auth"] <<
  [WSDL_URL, "user", "password"]
result = soap.WebService('arg1','arg2','arg3')
############

Post message shows that the binding operation name is the same as the
message name. Can't tell of top of my head if this hurts, but it is not how
it is usually done. Try renaming the message to say 'WebServiceIn'. Don't
forget ot update references in operations. Also try renaming the
relative namespace
to 'http://fooapi'.

What's really frustrating is that the equivalent Perl code

use SOAP::Lite ;
my $USER = 'user';
my $PASS = 'password';
my $WSDL = 'http://localhost/soap/wsdl';
my $SOAP = SOAP::Lite -> service($WSDL);
 my $result = $SOAP->WebService('arg1','arg2','arg3');

The wsdl would help to construct the failing test that needs to
be fixed.

Another thing you might try is to use wsdl2ruby and see what
comes out of it too.

Here's the WSDL (brace yourself!)
I've been trying to use the "CreateSingleMember" service

That looks correct ...
------------------------

And here is the client :

---------------------
require 'soap/wsdlDriver'

email = (ARGV.shift || 'f...@acme.org')
full_name = (ARGV.shift || 'Fred Bunky')
list_name = (ARGV.shift || 'Fred')

SERVICE_WSDL = 'lmapi.wsdl'

# Load WSDL and create driver.
svc = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(SERVICE_WSDL).create_rpc_driver
svc.wiredump_dev = STDOUT

puts svc.createSingleMember(email, full_name, list_name)
--------------------

The result message was also OK.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <env:Body>
    <n1:CreateSingleMemberResponse xmlns:n1="lmapi"
        env:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
      <return xsi:type="xsd:int">13</return>
    </n1:CreateSingleMemberResponse>
  </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

-----------------------

Here is what I have done.

I have created the service with wsdl2Ruby.

wsdl2Ruby --type wsdl lmapi.wsdl --type server

I had to do few minor mods to the wsdl before that (but I don't think
they are relevant to the error).

- I had to update the service name (wsdl2Ruby takes the service name
as the name of the server script and that collides with the existing
script. (That is not the cause of the error
though)

I have updated the service url, to reflect what port the Ruby server
starts on, so that the
WsdlDriverFactory picks it up.

So the service section looks like this:

<wsdl:service name='lmapiService'>
                 <wsdl:documentation>Lyris lmapi. A SOAP 1.1 interface to Lyris
Listmanager</wsdl:documentation>
                 <wsdl:port name='lmapiSoap' binding='s0:lmapiSoap'>
                               <soap:address location='http://localhost:10080'/>

       </wsdl:port>
        </wsdl:service>

At this point, I'm thinking that maybe there is something with your
environment. Are you runnig the latest soap4r bundle from
http://dev.ctor.org/download/ ?
