Now I'll go do some homework on the Ruby SOAP library.
Thanks!

Dave,
The easiest way to get a Ruby API (as well as Python, PHP, Lisp, or
whatever) would be to augment your existing SOAP API with a full WSDL
(Web Services Description Language) document -- that way, any SOAP
toolkit which supports WSDL can pretty much automatically "wrap" your
service in a native API.
The WSDL file describes the XML schema used by your service, as well
as the methods it exposes. Since the Ruby SOAP library includes a WSDL
parser, you can simply point it at the WSDL file, and get back a proxy
object which supports all the methods of your web service.
(Of course, not all WSDL parsers and SOAP implementations support the
exact same dialect, so it's worth doing a bit of research -- Google
for "SOAP interop" to get started.)
