How to make a SOAP call including namespace with Savon - ruby

Question

I am trying to connect to this SOAP API. Specifically, I am trying to login via this login call.
The documentation states that I should make the following request:
POST /service/replicatorV4.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: demo12231.srv106.webshopdemo.net
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
SOAPAction: "http://tempuri.org/Login"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<Login xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
<username>string</username>
<password>string</password>
</Login>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
When I in e.g. SoapUI makes the following request:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<tem:Login>
<tem:username>Administrator</tem:username>
<tem:password>passw0rd12</tem:password>
</tem:Login>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
then I get this satisfying response:
<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>
<LoginResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
<LoginResult>48594fe6-41fd-45f9-9f84-89ef8c247b85</LoginResult>
</LoginResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
However, when I with Savon make a request like this:
require 'savon'
client = Savon.client( :wsdl => "http://demo12231.srv106.webshopdemo.net/service/replicatorV4.asmx?WSDL",
:open_timeout => 100,
:read_timeout => 100,
:ssl_verify_mode => :none,
:log_level => :debug,
:log => false,
:logger => Rails.logger,
:convert_request_keys_to => :camelcase)
response = client.call(:login, :message => {:username => "Administrator", :password => "passw0rd12"})
then I get this dissatisfying response:
#<Savon::Response:0x007ff78cfcc368

:response_parser=>:nokogiri,
:multipart=>false,
:message=>{:username=>"Administrator", :password=>"passw0rd12"},
:soap_action=>"http://tempuri.org/Login"}>>
The body part of the response is:
{:login_response=>{:login_result=>nil, :#xmlns=>"http://tempuri.org/"}}
and this tells me that maybe the service did receive the overall request, but did not get the variables. The response looks a lot like the response when I in SoapUI make this request with wrong username and password:
<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>
<LoginResponse xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
<LoginResult xsi:nil="true"/>
</LoginResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
I have noticed that the namespace tem is expected in variables. Could this have something to do with my issue? Or is there another explanation?

Answer 1

Create a pure Ruby script without Rails.
then check the output against what you've created with SoapUI. Post the differences and someone will be able to help.
when I run this script:
require 'savon'
c = Savon.client(wsdl:
"http://demo12231.srv106.webshopdemo.net/service/replicatorV4.asmx?WSDL",
log_level: :debug,
log: true,
pretty_print_xml: true)
response = c.call(:login,
:message => {:username => "Administrator", :password => "passw0rd12"})
it works for me. It might be something in your Rails part which interferes. I don't do Rails therefore I'll be of little help there (I prefer Sinatra :-)).
