(jeffa) Re: SOAP autodispatch question

Use of inherited AUTOLOAD for non-method main::HellowWorld() is ...

Could this be a typo? Did you accidentally call method HellowWorld instead of HelloWorld? If you notice carefully, the message from GoodByeWorld was delivered. All of those warnings disturb me however ... ~~but then again, i use mod_soap instead of autodispatch.~~

UPDATE:
Well, that didn't come out right ;). mod_soap is not a replacement for autodispatch, in fact, they can be used together. The problem is that autodispatch does some nasty UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD stuff. So, the solution to get rid of the warnings is to either not specify -w or use dispatch_from() instead:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use SOAP::Lite dispatch_from => 'World',
   uri   => 'World',
   proxy => 'http://soapserver.mycompany.com/soap/soapserver.cgi'
;

print World->HelloWorld();
print World->GoodByeWorld("sweet");

I really prefer this style over autodispatch, but then again, i like my objects to have their own namespace. ;)

This is indeed what I would consider the "best" approach under a "`use strict`" environment. I'm working on a book right now that uses SOAP::Lite a lot, and my approach has essentially been to document `+autodispatch`, then explain why it shouldn't be used for anything longer than 5-10 lines. I much prefer the clarity that `dispatch_from` maintains, particularly in that a person taking an initial glance at the source code is less likely to expect to find "`HelloWorld`" later in the script. And this is all before any issues of explicit data-encoding, namespace-association, or methods with characters not legal in Perl subroutine names, comes up :-). `--rjray`	[reply]
