Is there a way to set the default namespace with Savon::Model? - ruby-on-rails

Question

Savon is stubborn in generating SOAP envelopes from WSDL's. It does it improperly and I see no way to fix it. It also takes the liberty of inserting the wsdl: namespace on everything for whatever reason.
The request I am building uses the tns: namespace. I'd love to be able to use Savon::Model, but right now I have to do:
client.request :tns, :function_name do
soap.body = { params }
end
Instead of something like:
super(params)
Making the request block in every function is tedious, and I have to define the function name every time instead of Savon automatically calling the correct function like what would happen in the ideal case. Right now my functions are looking like
def foo
client.request :tns, :foo do
...
end
Having to say "foo" twice seems ridiculous. Is there a way to set the default namespace for every request in a class that extends Savon::Model?

Answer 1

client = Savon.client do
wsdl "blah blah"
element_form_default :qualified
namespace_identifier :tem
env_namespace :soapenv
end

Answer 2

I am not sure if I understand your questions. I assume you are asking how to set the default namespace and wrap the request body in a function, so you don't need to write the request body every time. This code works for me, but I removed some irrelevant parts
class ExampleWS
EXAMPLE_WS_DEFAULT_NAMESPACE = "urn:example:request:1.0.0"
......
def getStockPrice( locale, stockId )
response = $client.request :get_stock_price do
soap.input = [
"ns1:getStockPrice",
{
"xmlns:ns1" => EXAMPLE_WS_DEFAULT_NAMESPACE #set default namespace here
}
]
soap.body = {
"locale" => locale,
"stockId" => stockId
}
end
end
......
end
......
# call the function
getStockPrice("en_US", 123 )

This works for me. It uses Savon 2, though:
class Soapservice
extend Savon::Model
client wsdl: "http://example.com?wsdl", env_namespace: :tns,
operations :get_resource, :put_resource
def :get_resource(id)
super(message: { id: id })
end
end
service = Soapservice.new
response = service.get_resource(1) #overwriting get_resource
# or
response = service.put_resource(message: { username: "luke", secret: "secret" })
(My example builds on the one from the official savon homepage)
