It got tricky when I had to deal with FedEx's <q0:RateAvailableServicesRequest />... that q0 part doesn't play well with Builder. Thankfully, though FedEx's v3 web services work well enough without the q0, so xml.RateAvailableServicesRequest :xmlns => " http://fedex.com/ws/rate/v3"; is acceptable. I do, however, have to return "<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV=\" http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\"; xmlns:SOAP-ENC=\" http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/\"; xmlns:xsi=\" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\"; xmlns:xsd=\" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\ "><SOAP-ENV:Body>#{xml.target!}</SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>". -- Tim _______________________________________________ Radiant mailing list Post: [email protected] Search: http://radiantcms.org/mailing-list/search/ Site: http://lists.radiantcms.org/mailman/listinfo/radiant
