Definitely not a Watir question, more of related to Savon or general ruby lists. That being said, I've done soap service testing with Soap4R, which isn't a great library and had considered moving to Savon. It's been a long time since I looked at it, but hacked together a quick example given the Savon docs and found this as well: http://blog.nofail.de/2010/01/savon-handsoap-shootout/
Seems pretty trivial to do, here's my quick example from a free soap webservice: require 'rubygems' require 'savon' require 'pp' client = Savon::Client.new " http://geocoder.us/dist/eg/clients/GeoCoderPHP.wsdl"; response = client.geocode_address do |soapy| soapy.body = {:location => '1600 Pennsylvania Av, Washington, DC'} end pp response.to_hash I don't know if that helps, but should give you some start. Savon docs are pretty good, took 10 minutes from installing the gem to finding a free web service to writing this. If you see the response back, it's hash within hash within hash, etc. I'm assuming the same is for input so in your example something like setting the body to (pseudocode): {:from_date => 'whatever', :to_date => 'sometime later', :service_address => {:address1 => '123'}} etc etc should theoretically work. Once again, this is unsupported hacky code, you're much better off asking elsewhere. :) Might make for a good blog post though, hrrrm... :) Charley Baker Lead Developer, Watir, http://watir.com On Fri, Aug 13, 2010 at 9:57 AM, jtk <jeff.kr...@gmail.com> wrote: > For a project at work I need the ability to submit transactions using > soap calls.
