savon integration to talk to SOAP API

[Daniel Kerwin]

Hi,

i'm working on the integration of a new cloud provider that offers a SOAP
API. What would be the best approach to integrate a lib like savon? Parsing
and creating the XML manually would be pretty painful. Any suggestions are
highly appreciated.

Thanks and regards,
Daniel

Not sure, I have mostly avoided SOAP whenever I could (personally). Perhaps
some others can comment and be a bit more helpful though.

I would avoid it as well but that's the only available choice :-)

Would it be okay from your perspective to add savon as a gem depency and
use it only inside the request methods? Not sure if that's ok for you from
a design standpoint.

I think in other cases for something like this we require it only in a
deferred way (ie when you initialize a connection to the provider) and then
we do not include it as a dependency in the gemspec. That way not everyone
has to install in, but you can install it yourself to be able to use the
provider (then we just rescue load errors to print a helpful message
telling you to add it). Does that make sense as an approach?

It surly does. I will implement it as proposed.

Thanks for your support!
