Rails / QuickBooks integration without ActionWebService

January 24th, 2009 • Quickbooks • Rails

I will try to do a full writeup later but for now know that ActionWebService is now neither required nor desired for QuickBooks integration.

    Excellent and very timely! We're currently integrating using the quickbooks_integration plugin so I'm interested to try out the new approach. I'm assuming we don't need the quickbooks_integration plugin and the qbwc_api.rb anymore?

    @jason - Yes. That is the beauty of the new approach. No ActionWebService BS :)

    Thank you so much for all your help - I was able to get integrated in an hour or so using your plugin. A question about this new approach - I like ditching ActionWebService, but I can't seem to get past the authenticate step. QBWC seems to receive the serverVersion and clientVersion responses ok, but in response to authenticate, I see: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. More info: StackTrace = at QBWebConnector.WebService.do_authenticate(String& ticket, String& companyFileName) Source = QBWebConnector any clues?

    @Tommy - make sure you are using the Document style in the QWC file... see http://gist.github.com/59661 as an example

    Hey - thanks! That worked perfectly. I'm just getting my feet wet with this stuff, and it's such a big help what you've done here.
