I'm sorry, I don't quite understand this question. What do you mean by, "other web services methods?" Do you mean other protocols besides SOAP and REST? Or do you mean other SOAP frameworks? If you meant the former then there are some other protocols, like CORBA for example. However, it's very rare to see that outside of really old legacy systems. Another option would be to develop your own custom web service protocol. If you meant the latter then there's soap4r (http://rubygems.org/gems/soap4r) and maybe some others. However, AFAIK Savon is likely much better and easier to use. What do you mean by, "I didn't get this concept fully." If you found understanding the SOAP protocol difficult then join the rest of us. SOAP is complicated and not easily understood. There's no way I can even begin to help you understand it. I've interfaced with a number of SOAP services myself. Most of them took some real effort to get working correctly. You might be fine if you are using the exact same SOAP tools on both the server and client side (this is almost certainly not the case if you're working with Ruby). But, this actually defeats the purpose of having web services protocol standards. The problem with SOAP is that the standard is broken. Not everyone implements SOAP the same way, so clients built in one tool won't work correctly with servers built with a different tool. This is the primary reason why Rails is opinionated, and biased, toward the REST protocol for web services. Rails is REST by design. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
