savon soap attributes - soap

Question

Am trying to query netsuite api for currencies. The following soap request works for me in SOAP UI client. But i am having a hard time trying to get the same working with ruby's savon gem version 0.9.7.
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:messages_2012_2.platform.webservices.netsuite.com" xmlns:urn1="urn:core_2012_2.platform.webservices.netsuite.com">
<soapenv:Header>
<urn:passport>
<urn1:email>xxx#abc.com</urn1:email>
<urn1:password>xxx</urn1:password>
<urn1:account>xxx</urn1:account>
</urn:passport>
</soapenv:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<urn:getAll>
<urn:record recordType="currency"/>
</urn:getAll>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Basically i am not able to set the attribute on the urn:record element. The following is not working:
response = client.request :urn, :get_all do
soap.body = { "urn:record" => { :attributes! => { "recordType" => "currency" } } }
end
Please advise.

Answer 1

As explained on http://savonrb.com the key in the attributes! hash has to match the XML tag. You want to write something like this:
response = client.request :urn, :get_all do
soap.body = {'urn:record'=>'',
:attributes!=>{'urn:record'=>{'recordType'=>'currency'}}
}
end
Please let us know whether this solves it for you.

Answer 2

Double-check the raw soap request. :get_all may need to be "getAll" to have savon take you literally; it may be changing it to GetAll

Answer 3

In new versioin of savon you can place :attributes in the local context for the operation tag:
#interaction_client.call(:retrieve_interaction, message: message_hash, :attributes => { 'attachmentInfo' => include_attachments.to_s })
In this case, the attachmentInfo attribute will be placed into the main operation tag linked with operation, in this example this would be the ns:RetrieveInteractionRequest tag.
Please note that the syntax does not contains the exclamation mark.
