Adding attributes to the first element of the Body

[jlecour]

Hi,

I'm trying to make something like this
env:Body/env:Body

With a soap.body = {:attributes! => ...} I can add some attributes on elements inside the first element of the Body, but on the first element itself.

Am I missing something or it is impossible ?

After reading the source, I guess it's impossible because in Savon::SOAP#xml_body I can see that there is an enclosing tag with the wsdl namespace.

Thanks for any help

When you define the body you can actually put any xml in the body, just use Builder and define any markup you want.

[jlecour]

That's right, but there is still an enclosing tag I can't remove.
Let's say my SOAP action is Hello, it will be
<env:Body><wsdl:Hello><MyCustomXML /></wsdl:Hello></env:Body>

[elcuervo]

So you want to add attributes on the Body?

[jlecour]

No ;-)

In the previous example, it would be on <wsdl:Hello>

[elcuervo]

I'm pretty confused, can you paste the final xml you want? :S

[jlecour]

Pardon me if I'm not clear.

<env:Body><wsdl:Hello attr1='value1' attr2='value2'></wsdl:Hello></env:Body>

[elcuervo]

In a block doing the call, you can do something like this:

webservice = Savon::Client.new 'http://url...'
webservice.hello do |soap|
    soap.input = [soap.input, { :attr1 => 'value1', :attr2 => 'value2' }]
    soap.body = 'whatever xml'
end

great, I'll try that, thanks.

[jlecour]

Yes it is working as I expected . Thanks.

Could I produce something like this -

<env:Body>
<wsdl:hello>
<subtag attr1='value1'></subtag>
</wsdl:hello>
</env:Body>
