Ruby: soap4r - fixing wsdl2ruby for 1.9.3 version

Some time before when I was trying to generate SOAP Ruby client for my project I encountered the problem with soap4r library. The key problem was with Ruby 1.8 and 1.9 versions compatibility. I've found several independent fixes for that:

and many others. But there were problems with getting them work properly. So, I had to dig into the installed gem code to find out what causes the errors. In particular, I'm getting error like:

Actually I was interested in wsdl2ruby utility which was needed for SOAP client generation. So, what should be done to make it working?

Sirius: Win32 - add Dialog handling and basic input

Recently I've added functionality working with main windows. Next step is to apply functionality to interact with dialog boxes and child controls. It's almost the same except these are child windows and we should carry out additional relationship to main window. Additionally, we should add basic ability to send mouse and keyboard input. Thus, we'll complete basic functionality for Win32. All other code to be written should cover some control specifics rather than common functionality.

Java: JBehave integration with JIRA

During BDD engines comparison I noticed that JBehave supports various data sources for the stories but not just text files. This is quite valuable feature as we can share the stories accross the teams. But what if we share that using existing infrastructure? I mean all the tests are typically stored under some tracking system where they can be easily queried from. Such tracking systems should be the place where the tests are written to and updated at. So, why shouldn't we integrate that with the engine so that tests are designed, stored and modified in the tracking system and the engine like JBehave picks them up from there? That would be the tight integration between tests and their automated implementation. In this post I'll show how to make such integration between JIRA and JBehave.

Sirius: Adding new component Demo

Here is the demo showing how to add new component to the Sirius platform. The example demonstrates how to create server module from the scratch and how to apply client for this.
