Ruby for Java Programmers, Part VI
(Indexed 2006-05-06):
In the previous episode from this series, I showed you how to use XML-RPC to call Java code from Ruby over the network. In this article, we will do the same, but using SOAP instead of XML-RPC. One advantage of SOAP over XML-RPC is the fact that SOAP endpoints can be described using WSDL and, [...]
