I'm looking at using Ruby savon for SOAP. For purely masochistic reasons I have to deal with SOAP elements having attributes.
So, no problem, there is an example on the savon docs site which highlights this ability:
{ :person => "Eve", :attributes! => { :person => { :id => 666 } } }.to_soap_xml
"<person id=\"666\">Eve</person>"
My problem is how do I set attributes on child elements, for example, say I add an address child element to person:
{ :person => {:address => ""}, :attributes! => { :person => { :id => 666 } } }.to_soap_xml
Now I want to add an id attribute to the address element:
It's no go if I nest address in the attributes hash:
{ :person => {:address => ""}, :attributes! => { :person => { :id => 666, :address => {:id => 44 }} }}.to_soap_xml
So my question is, how can I get this?
<person id=666><address id=44></address></person>
I ran across the issue of the previous answer no longer working. Eventually I found https://github.com/savonrb/savon/issues/518 which lead me to the correct syntax to add attributes now.
So the previous example would now be done as
{
:person => {
:@id => 666,
:address => {
:@id => 44
}
}
}
Which would generate the following xml
<person id="666">
<address id="44"/>
</person>
You were close - just needed to put the :attributes!
key in the same hash that contains the value.
{
:person => {
:address => "",
:attributes! => { :address => { :id => 44 } }
},
:attributes! => { :person => { :id => 666 } }
}.to_soap_xml
# => "<person id=\"666\"><address id=\"44\"></address></person>"
