What is it?

Sinatra ruby server implementing QBWC callbacks in < 75 LOC

Introduction

I've blogged extensively on QuickBooks integration in Rails.

The short story is that working with ActionWebService sucks.

mini-qbwc is an experiment in simplicity and non-suckiness.

Prerequisites

  • Sinatra
  • Hpricot
  • fast_xs

Setup

1) Install prerequisites

$ sudo gem install sinatra hpricot fast_xs

2) Clone project

$ git clone git://github.com/zackchandler/qbwc-mini.git

3) Start server

$ ruby qbwc.rb

4) Install app.qwc in QBWC and run sync

    While wrestling with actionwebservice, soap4r, etc. it never occurred to me to just fake the soap responses using standard xml. This code seems to drop right into rails with minor tweaking too. Thanks!
