Hello all, I have a very small piece of code I have been struggling with and I am wondering if anyone has any insight. I have a WSDL definition from a .NET service of

http://www.thedialogcenter.com/EncryptionService.wsdl
[download]

The service is out of my control. I am using SOAP::Lite. I am not very familiar with SOAPs architecture and I have really never used it before. I have had success with every test service I used (from the SOAP documentation I was using - plus a java one we created ourselves), but not with this one. I do not get anything back. The code I used is as follows:

  print SOAP::Lite
    -> uri('http://www.arkbluecross.com/WebServices/EncryptionService/
+Encrypt')
    -> service('http://thedialogcenter.com/EncryptionService.wsdl')
    -> Encrypt('43877AF844D640A189E5708F3BE9222E', 'Testing');
[download]

The code appears to run, but does not print anything. I have a tool called SOAPscope that I ran against this same .WSDL and it returned an encrypted string. I'm not sure if I am missing something simple. I know SOAP::Lite says it does not support complex return types, but this just comes back as a string (according to SOAPscope). I will take any advice you have to offer. Maybe I am getting failure return codes, but I don't know how to check them or maybe the data is coming back and Perl does not know how to handle it. Also, so there is no confusion, every other test I ran I used

->proxy() instead of ->service()
[download]

and in that proxy I put the name and location of the service. In this case the service is putting out a bogus .wsdl so I modified it to better reflect the service. I used SOAPscope to test with the .WSDL I created and it works as hoped. Thanks.

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
