Savon should understand and support elementFormDefault="qualified"

[rubiii]

summited by khoenshel (September 27, 2010):

I am connecting to a service where the WSDL sets elementFormDefault="qualified". From what I understand, this value can be set to 'qualified' or 'unqualified'. An over-simplified description: when set to 'qualified', all of the elements in the SOAP request need to be fully qualified, as in eimermusic's example above. This behavior is specified here: http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-0/#QualLocals. An explicit setting for this style of output in the SOAP body would be nice, but if the WSDL file specifies that the elements should all be fully namespace qualified, then the elements in the SOAP body should be fully qualified. For now, I have to place the namespace in the hash keys...

added to the wishlist for future versions under "improve the WSDL parser".

+1. We're connecting to a .NET service that doesn't work unless the local elements include the namespace. Thanks!

Would love to see this implemented too. Also connecting to a .NET service!

added support for elementFormDefault="qualified"

closed by 5c8ec13. the attribute is read from wsdl documents and can also be set
manually via:

client.request :authenticate do
  soap.element_form_default = :qualified
end

should be fixed with v0.8.4. please take a look at the CHANGELOG and let me know if this works for you!
