Hello,

I'm trying to access a SOAP webservice written in C# .NET from Ruby
(running on Ubuntu). The server has two classes within its namespace:

AddressSearch
ServiceAuthentication

The namespace is

http://local/blah/AddressSearch.asmx

The problem is that the client only knows about one method,
findAddress - a method of the AddressSearch class. I cannot get it to
see the ServiceAuthentication class. Apparently I need to pass an
instance of the Service Authentication class to a method of the
Address search class. I'm basing this on some sampel C# .NET client
code. I have been told that the response I am getting from the server
is because I am not authenticated.

My problem is that in all the examples of SOAP I have seen, looking
through the ruby mailing list archives, there is only one class dealt
with at a time. Basically, I need to know if my understanding of what
I am trying to do is wrong, if one SOAP namespace can contain multiple
classes, and if so, how I can use these two different classes in the
same ruby code.

My client code is:

def soap_me(postcode, streetname, town)

@postcode = postcode
@streetname = streetname
@town = town

wsdl_url = "http://10.0.0.35/iedirectimage/AddressSearch.asmx?...

soap = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(wsdl_url).create_rpc_driver

auth = soap.ServiceAuthentication(:login => "addresstest",
:password => "password")
#The above line gives a undefined method `ServiceAuthentication' error

res = soap.findAddress(:postcode => @postcode, :streetName =>
@streetname, :town => @town)
puts res.inspect

end

soap_me("SW15 6JH", "Upper Richmond Road", "London")

The WSDL is posted here:

Thanks for the help - I know my post is slightly confused - it
reflects my state of mind!
