[Rails] AWS WSDL Client Consumption

[Chris Brinker]

Has anyone had any great success in consuming web services from within
ruby? I have had little to no problems publishing a WSDL based web
service to the outside world from within ruby, however now I am
attempting to consume the same ruby published web service with the AWS
client back into ruby, and I am having problem after problem.

Is there perhaps a help document or some manual that has a
straightforward consumption of a WS? I am fully aware that I may be
doing something painfully improperly but, unlike ColdfusionMX which
requires nothing more than the URL of the WSDL to run it, it appears
as though I have to copy in the model classes and API into the ruby
client in order to run the remote command... is this the case? is AWS
just too immature at this point to derive the
classes/functions/services from the WSDL?

Any input you have would be very beneficial, and example source code
would work wonders to demonstrate my failings.

Thank You All,
Chris Brinker
