Soap action named 'load' conflicts with private 'load' method

[kalebwalton]

I wanted to encapsulate some common logic into a helper method and use the 'send' method to actually make the call to the Savon client (as below). It works for a soap action called 'search' but it does not work for one called 'load'. It turns out 'load' is a private method and 'send' is attempting to call it.

def soapcall(client, method_name, arg)
  response = client.send method_name, nil do |soap|
    soap.namespaces['xmlns:ns1'] = "http://services.foo.com/v1"
    soap.body = {
      'arg0' => arg
    }
  end
  response.to_hash[(method_name.to_s+"_response").to_sym][:return]
end

load is a Kernel method: http://ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Kernel.html#M005940
Savon uses method_missing to process soap requests. what i could do to workaround this issue, is add a public method that simply calls method_missing.

That'd be fine, I don't mind passing in a soap action name to a method call rather than calling a method with the same name. It would be sweet if I could do:

response = client.call(:load) do |soap|

soap.namespaces['xmlns:ns1'] = "http://services.foo.com/v1"

soap.body = {

'arg0' => arg

}

end

OR
response = client.call(:load, {

:namespaces => { 'xmlns:ns1' => 'http://services.foo.com/v1'},

:body => { 'arg0' => arg}

});

seems like we chose the same method name: http://github.com/rubiii/savon/commit/d4c1902ba8401b0dcb3a9779468f097dddfb6b8d
