Dear Monks:
I have a client that passes an ArrayOfEventModel object to a web service. Please refer to the following:

    my $data;
    
    #...... accumilate information in $data ......

    my $events = ArrayOfEventModel->new($data);

    my $soap;
    my $som;

    eval {
        $soap = SOAP::Lite
            -> uri(WS_URI())
            -> proxy(WS_PROXY())
            -> on_action( sub { sprintf '""', @_ } )
            -> on_debug( sub { print @_ } )
            -> on_fault( sub { } )
            ;
        $som = $soap->processEvent(SOAP::Data->name('arrayOfEventModel
+_1')->type(ArrayOfEventModel=>$events));
    };

    # examines fault and dies if it finds one
    get_error( $som, $@ );

that throws the following error:

(faultcode) env:Client: 
(faultdetail) JAXRPC.TIE.01: caught exception while handling request: 
+deserialization error: unexpected XML reader state. expected: END but
+ found: START: boroughID

So, $events is an array of EventModel objects, which (like most objects in perl) are hashes. When my request object is created (viewed by printing the debug information):

            ..............
            <arrayOfEventModel_1 xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:ArrayOfEventModel"
+ SOAP-ENC:arrayType="namesp1:EventModel[1]">
                <item xsi:type="namesp1:EventModel">
                    <name xsi:type="xsd:string">Name</name>
                    <boroughID xsi:type="xsd:int">3</boroughID>
                    <agencyDept xsi:type="xsd:string">Department* </ag
+encyDept>
                    <status xsi:type="xsd:string">p</status>
                    <eventImage xsi:type="xsd:string">http://image</ev
+entImage>
                    .............

the attributes do not appear in the same order as they are in my WSDL:

      .......................
      <complexType name="ArrayOfEventModel">
        <complexContent>
          <restriction base="soap11-enc:Array">
            <attribute ref="soap11-enc:arrayType" wsdl:arrayType="tns:
+EventModel[]"/></restriction></complexContent></complexType>
      <complexType name="EventModel">
        <sequence>
          <element name="ID" type="string"/>
          <element name="address1" type="string"/>
          <element name="address2" type="string"/>
          <element name="address3" type="string"/>
          <element name="agencyAcronym" type="string"/>
          <element name="agencyDept" type="string"/>
          <element name="boroughID" type="int"/>
          .............................

Is this the reason the error is being thrown?
If so, how do I force a certain order of xml tags in my request?
If not, what else could be causing the problem?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rob
