actionwebservice is pretty much still the way to do SOAP web services as far as I know. However, you won't find much support of doing web services from the Rails core. Rails has a pretty clear opinion on how to provide web services and that is though REST services not SOAP. This opinion happens to coincide with my own. I'm ready for the rest of the world to wake up to REST and let SOAP die a quiet death. Even though the Rails core isn't supporting actionwebservice anymore, support is available in the latest Rails 2.3.2 in this project: http://github.com/datanoise/actionwebservice/tree/master I'd only recommend this if you are stuck having to either implement an existing SOAP service you have no control over. Or you must provide a web service to clients that won't accept REST. There is a lot of information online regarding REST services in Rails. All you have to do is look. You practically get REST services for free just by building in Rails anyway (assuming you're using the latest techniques). -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
