I'm testing SOAP interoperability between a command line ruby script and a Ruby on Rails based web service.
I can't seem to figure out how to get the service to raise an exception that gets propagated back to the client as a SOAP::FaultError, complete with fault code and fault string.
Running my client ruby script against an Apache AXIS based Java SOAP Server or NUSOAP based PHP correctly gives me back an error of the form:
#<SOAP::FaultError: authentication failed>
from which I can then extract
fault code: 1001 fault string: authentication failed
Running against a Rails based Web service no matter what I raise on the server, it always seems to end up on the client as a #<RuntimeError: authentication failed>.
Any suggestions?
Here's the code for my service:
def authenticate(login, password, version) if (login == 'khans') return [1, 'Shehryar', 'Khan'] elsif raise 'authentication failed' end end
Here's the code for my client:
require 'soap/wsdlDriver'
# Ruby on Rails URL factory = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new("http://localhost:3000/service/wsdl"\)
soap = factory.create_rpc_driver begin soap_response = soap.authenticate("khans","bollox","1.0")
puts ">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>" puts "Service.authenticate() succeeded:" puts " id: "+soap_response[0].to_s puts " firstname: "+soap_response[1].to_s puts " lastname: "+soap_response[2].to_s puts ">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>"
rescue => e
puts ">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>" puts "Service.authenticate() failed:" puts " fault code: "+e.faultcode.to_s puts " fault string: "+e.faultstring.to_s puts ">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>"
end soap.reset_stream
