The empty arguments problem.

[esycheva]

Hi!

I have the following code

in my api controller

soap_action "BlockAccount",
:args => {:ils => :string, :asr_id => :string},
:return => {:asr_id => :string, :ils => :string},
:to => :block_account

def block_account
render :soap => {:ils => params[:ils], :asr_id => params[:asr_id]}
end

The request to the my service,

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:WashOut">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <urn:BlockAccount soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
         <ils xsi:type="xsd:string">test</ils>
         <asr_id xsi:type="xsd:string">test</asr_id>
      </urn:BlockAccount>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

response

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:tns="urn:WashOut">
   <soap:Body>
      <tns:BlockAccount_response>
         <tns:asr_id xsi:type="xsd:string">test</tns:asr_id>
         <tns:ils xsi:type="xsd:string">test</tns:ils>
      </tns:BlockAccount_response>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

it works fine, but

the request with empty arguments

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:WashOut">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <urn:BlockAccount soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
         <ils xsi:type="xsd:string"></ils>
         <asr_id xsi:type="xsd:string"></asr_id>
      </urn:BlockAccount>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

response

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:tns="urn:WashOut">
   <soap:Body>
      <tns:BlockAccount_response>
         <tns:asr_id xsi:type="xsd:string">{:"@xsi:type"=>"xsd:string"}</tns:asr_id>
         <tns:ils xsi:type="xsd:string">{:"@xsi:type"=>"xsd:string"}</tns:ils>
      </tns:BlockAccount_response>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

The value '{:"@xsi:type"=>"xsd:string"}' is unexpected for me.

When I get the request with empty argument, params[:argument] returns "{:"@xsi:type"=>"xsd:string"}'.

Right. That's a bug in Nori rubiii/nori#12. I'll try to produce workaround for now.

Okay. Look what we got. I did the workaround and that solved the problem for all non-ruby SOAP clients. However Savon uses Nori too. And therefore it's a subject for the same bug on the client. If you don't use Savon you are good to go. Please check master and tell me if it works.

Fixed in 0.3.2

Thank you.

I'm currently having the same problem as described in this issue again:

"SND_CITY"=>"{:\"@xsi:type\"=>\"xsd:string\"}"

My environment:

wash_out in version 0.9.0, nori in 2.4.0, ruby 2.1.2 / rails 4.1.4, soap ui as client in version 4.6.4-m-SNAPSHOT
