I am attempting to interface a Java based SOAP server with a SOAP::Lite client. The two can communicate but sadly there seems to be an XML processing problem at the Java end:

javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Unable to create envelope from given sou
+rce: Error on line 1 of document  : Undeclared prefix: "SOAP-ENV:enco
+dingStyle"

The server, in this case, simply returns a default response back to the Perl client which is being decoded properly so thats not a problem.

From what I can tell, the processor does not like all the namespaces (and such) that get added to the Envelope by the SOAP::Lite call. Though this is valid XML is there anyway I can either:

1. remove these by hand before transmitting to the server
2. dynamically build the envelope as a string (or something similar) and transmit that?

I've been scouring the groups I could find but haven't found anything that comes close to this problem.

Source code for the client follows (I call as perl soap.pl). Note that I am not using RPC at this time but just whacking a mini XML document into the Body of the message.

If I'm committing any other sins then please let me know as I've only been using SOAP::Lite for a very short time.

use SOAP::Lite;

my $fragment = SOAP::Data->type(xml => $data);

my $serializer = $service->serializer();
my $env = $serializer->envelope(freeform => $fragment);
my $response = $service->call($env);
