Integrating with Ruby on Rails

[philsmy]

I am trying to integrate Kashflow into our Ruby on Rails app and have immediately begun to have problems. I am using soap4r and have generated the driver, etc using wsdl2ruby.

The first thing I wanted to do was create a customer.

The stream dump says I am sending this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
   xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
 <env:Body>
   <n1:InsertCustomer xmlns:n1="KashFlow">
     <n1:UserName>xxxx</n1:UserName>
     <n1:Password>xxxx</n1:Password>
     <n1:custr>
       <n1:CustomerID>1</n1:CustomerID>
       <n1:Name>Phil Xxx</n1:Name>
       <n1:Email>phil@xxx.com</n1:Email>
       <n1:EC xsi:nil="true"></n1:EC>
       <n1:Source xsi:nil="true"></n1:Source>
       <n1:Discount xsi:nil="true"></n1:Discount>
       <n1:ShowDiscount xsi:nil="true"></n1:ShowDiscount>
       <n1:PaymentTerms xsi:nil="true"></n1:PaymentTerms>
       <n1:CheckBox1 xsi:nil="true"></n1:CheckBox1>
       <n1:CheckBox2 xsi:nil="true"></n1:CheckBox2>
       <n1:Created xsi:nil="true"></n1:Created>
       <n1:Updated xsi:nil="true"></n1:Updated>
     </n1:custr>
   </n1:InsertCustomer>
 </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>

I get back:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body><soap:Fault><faultcode>soap:Client</faultcode><faultstring>Server was unable to read request. ---&gt; There is an error in XML document (13, 39). ---&gt; Input string was not in a correct format.</faultstring><detail /></soap:Fault></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

I do not thinnk that this is related to the PHP multidimensional array thread, as there are no anytype elements in this.

Has anyone integrated with Ruby and if so, do you have any tips for me?
