I starting to work with Ruby and Soap and had some questions:

How do I generate a WSDL file for the service I created? Will it be compatible with an .NET client ?

begin    class MyServer < SOAP::RPC::StandaloneServer          # Handler methods       def add(a, b)          return a + b       end       def div(a, b)          return a / b       end        # Expose our services       def initialize(*args)          add_method(self, 'add', 'a', 'b')          add_method(self, 'div', 'a', 'b')       end     end   server = MyServer.new('MyServer',             'urn:ruby:calculation', 'localhost', 8080)   trap('INT'){      server.shutdown   }   server.start rescue => err   puts err.message end

  1. ActionWebService (previously in Rails core, now a gem) has tools to generate WSDL files. You can use the tools even if you’re not running your service within Rails.

    As for whether it will work with a .NET client, the answer is maybe. Many .NET clients seem to expect Microsoft’s "extended" SOAP info, which .NET webservices provide by default. If the client is also able to consume a service without that extra stuff, then sure.

    UPDATE #1

    The above link no longer appears to work. There are however forks of ActionWebService that have popped up over on github. You can see a pretty good list of them here. Here are a couple of links to some key versions:
