I am having a hard time with sending SOAP / .NET "complex" structures. If I send the following response, my .NET (well, .NET WebServiceStudio) does not recognize the response -- it comes back with a "null" as the value of the string. 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" x
+mlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsd="h
+ttp://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.x
+mlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soa
+p/envelope/">
  <soap:Body>
    <Test1Response xmlns="urn:TESTServices">
      <OutData xsi:type="typens:MyStringType" xmlns:typens="urn:TESTSe
+rvices">
        <MyStringType xsi:type="xsd:string">Hi There</MyStringType>
      </OutData>
    </Test1Response>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

If I hardcode the return string to the above, I get the same response. However, if I change the attributes on the "Test1Response" tag above to be <namesp1:Test1Response xmlns:namesp1="urn:TESTServices">, all works fine. 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" x
+mlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsd="h
+ttp://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.x
+mlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soa
+p/envelope/">
  <soap:Body>
    <namesp1:Test1Response xmlns:namesp1="urn:TESTServices">
      <OutData xsi:type="typens:MyStringType" xmlns:typens="urn:TESTSe
+rvices">
        <MyStringType xsi:type="xsd:string">Hi There</MyStringType>
      </OutData>
    </namesp1:Test1Response>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

My function in my handler is:

sub Test1 {
    my $self = shift;
    my $envelope = pop;
    my $indata = $envelope->valueof('/Envelope/Body/*/InData');
    my $d= (
        SOAP::Data
        ->name(
           'OutData' => \SOAP::Data
           ->value(
               SOAP::Data->name('MyStringType' => 'Hi There')
              )
          )
        ->attr({
            'xmlns:typens' => 'urn:TESTServices',
            'xsi:type'     => 'typens:MyStringType',
           },
          )
       );
    return $d;
}

Does anyone have a good example of how to add the explicit namespace tag to the service name (the first child of the Body tag) using SOAP::Lite? I am not specifying the tag, I think it is supplied by SOAP::Lite.

Thanks,

update: Missed name space on closing tag.
