Allow Nested Body Attributes To Be Set

[davidahopp]

Feature request

Motivation for this feature:

Working on pulling data from a providers system: https://ot.dms.dealertrack.com/partsapi.asmx?WSDL, I am unable to added a nested field object as they are directing me to and they are not defining it correctly in their WSDL so that it automatically is set.

Proposed implementation:

I would like to be able to make a call like this:

Savon.client("https://ot.dms.dealertrack.com/partsapi.asmx?WSDL", nil).call(operation_name, {attributes: {PartsSalesHistory: {SalesHistoryParms: {xmlns:"opentrack.dealertrack.com/transitional"}}}, message: payload})

and then have it generate the following XML (this is just the body as a note):

 <soap:Body>
   <PartsSalesHistory>
     <Dealer>
       <EnterpriseCode>val</EnterpriseCode>
       <CompanyNumber>val2</CompanyNumber>
       <ServerName>val3</ServerName>
     </Dealer>
     <SalesHistoryParms xmlns="opentrack.dealertrack.com/transitional">
       <DateStart>20200101</DateStart>
       <DateEnd>20200102</DateEnd>
     </SalesHistoryParms>
   </PartsSalesHistory>
 </soap:Body>

If this is something I need to tell the provider to fix their WSDL, could you provide recommendations on what I need to tell them as I do not have much experience in XML and WSDL.

Would this introduce a breaking change? I hope not

Are you willing to work on this yourself?
I do not currently have a lot of free time but maybe.
