Dear Monks, I am completely new to SOAP and trying to write a client for a web service our company intend to use.



My problem is that i am not able to figure out why this code does not fill up $response. I am pasting my code..

 my $webService = SOAP::Lite-> uri($self->{NAMESPACE})          
          -> on_action(sub{sprintf '%s/%s', @_ })
          -> outputxml("1")  
          -> proxy($self->{ENDPOINT});

   eval{
 my $response = $webService
      ->call(SOAP::Data->name("SubmitXml")->attr({xmlns => $self->{NAM
+ESPACE}}),
             SOAP::Data->name(Profile => $self->{HAP})->type('string')
+,
             SOAP::Data->name(Request => $xmlRequest)->type('xml'),
             SOAP::Data->name(Filter => $xmlFilter)->type('xml'));
     };
    if($@){print $@}


 open RES,">>Responce.log";
 if (defined $response) {
 print RES $response."\n";
 }else {print RES "========No Response======== \n";}
 
 close RES;

but i can see the proper response if i enable +trace on it shows me the right result but does not return it . please help me as I always end up with undefined $response.
i tried this $response=$webService->result; but the wsdl raised error saying that it does not expect this method,which was recorded in the log


This is server response seen in trace output as displayed on screen.

now according to me the $response should have this string as i have enabled the outputxml(1) .
