A little OT, but has anyone got any experience or examples that use
Apache2::SOAP or some other means to create a mod_perl SOAP server?
I'm rushing headlong into SOAP development and (as one does) tackled
something nice and big for my first project - a Perl SOAP server that
receives and sends MS .NET DataSet objects as parameters!
Hi John,
I recently got a SOAP::Lite client running and had some problems when
communicating with a .NET server. The .NET server did not take too
kindly to the XML SOAP::Lite was producing. Not sure if there was some
standard being violated -- though I'd bet the violator is in Redmond, WA
if there is one --, but I found the following article helpful:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsoap/html/soapliteperl.asp
The issue was with two things. One, I had to do something to "on_action"
as noted below. The article has a different solution. Two, the Windows
server did not like the XML that SOAP::Lite produced. Specifically, it
was the data that the Windows server could not read. SOAP::Lite produced
XML that added a namespX: at the front of the data tag, e.g.
<namesp2:SOMENAME DATANAME xsi:type="xsd:string">data</DATANAME>
while the Windows server expected:
<DATANAME xsi:type="xsd:string">data</DATANAME>
Strangely enough, I can't re-create what was going wrong right now so
what you see above is partially from memory.
I implemented the suggestions in the above article and it started working.
Take care,
Kurt Hansen
