If you're building an application in Ruby that needs to talk to the
ever so popular NetSuite (www.netsuite.com), through webservices in
SOAP then you will need this element in your toolkit.

Since SOAP4R didn't cut it, we developed this client and of course it's
available for you too!

Why develop it yourself, when we've got it ready made for you.

To cover our development costs, it will be yours for a small fee. It's
just an email and a paypal transaction away. :)

If you need more details, just let me know

Too bad you did not chose to improve soap4r and send patches to Hiroshi instead of redeveloping your own client library.

As a matter of cusriosity, what was missing in soap4r that made you decide it "did not cut it"?

Hi Patrick,

That was the initial instict of the developer. To help patch these
issues in SOAP4R.

However, that would take more time than we could afford, so we decided
to simply correct the output of SOAP4R, so that it now works.

So budget restraints drove us to this way of handling the problem.

Since I'm not the technical guy, I can't formulate the exact problem,
but SOAP4R didn't provide the right code for connecting to this
particular system.

Since there might be more people out there doing the same, I though why
not offer the solution to them, so we can recover some of the costs.

We're in a ridiculously bootstrapped company you see.

Best,
Danny

It makes sense.

What would be great is if you could send to this list a lit of the requirements that you're implementing, issues you had with soap4r and how you would want it to work.
This will help the project make progress on the aspects that you found missing.
