Using ActionWebService from PHP

rubyonrails-talk
1

I have an existing Rails API using ActionWebService that is used for billing. I have been given a site written in PHP that accepts billing information and now needs to submit this information to the ActionWebService API. I need to know how I can submit billing information from the PHP site to the Rails ActionWebService. Any insights on how to make this work (links to other places, other suggestions, etc.) would be appreciated.

This is the basic wiring of the API:

class CustomerChangeAPI < ActionWebService::API::Base

  class ServerResponse < ActionWebService::Struct     member :successful, :bool     member :error_message, :string   end

  class NewCustomerResponse < ServerResponse     member :uid, :int   end

  class NewCreditCardResponse < ServerResponse     member :cardid, :int   end ... end

  api_method :new_customer, :expects => [{'company_name'=>:string}, {'lead_sourceid'=>:int}], :returns => [NewCustomerResponse]

  api_method :new_credit_card, :expects => [{'uid'=>:int}, {'name_on_card'=>:string}, {'card_number'=>:string}, {'exp_date'=>:date}, {'billing_address'=>:string}, {'billing_zip'=>:string}, {'accountid'=>:int}], :returns => [NewCreditCardResponse]

end

Read up on php's SOAP clients. ActionWebService will generate a wsdl

Excuse my ignorance but how do I get ActionWebService to generate the WSDL? Any simple examples that I can see somewhere? Thanks.

go to localhost:3000/customer_change/wsdl (assuming the corresponding controller is customer_change)
