Ruby Forum Ruby on Rails > Using ActionWebService from PHP

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

for you

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)
