Hi all,

I would like to develop a Perl Web CLient consuming Web Service made in Java (apache CFX).

THe Web Server produces WSDL in localhost.

I have two questions:
1. Are there ways other than SOAP that I can use to develop this Web Client?
2. I have tried using SOAP::Lite.
The Web Service (WSDL) has operation called Hello which accept input(input:Hello) and output the input(output:HelloResponse).

Here is my Perl code:

Expected: Input: Jimmy Output: Jimmy

$svc = SOAP::Lite 
-> service('http://localhost:8000/Hello.wsdl') 
-> proxy('http://localhost:8000/Hello') 
-> on_action(sub {sprintf '%s/%s', @_}); 

$resp = $svc->Hello("Jimmy");
[download]

However, this code will produce empty result.
Executing "print $resp" produces empty result.

I have tried using SOAP::Data as below:

<readmore title ="See the code">
$resp = $svc->call(SOAP::Data->name('Hello') 
->attr ({'xmlns'=>'sth'}) 
=> SOAP::Data->name('')->value("Jimmy"));
[download]

But this results in extra tags
<Hello xmlns="sth"><c-gensym3>Jimmy</c-gensym3></Hello>
which again resulted in empty final result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:xsi=htt
+p://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance xmlns:SOAP-ENC=http://schemas.
+xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/ xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org
+/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema" SOAP-EN
+V:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"><SOAP-ENV
+:Body><Hello xmlns="sth"><c-gensym3>Jimmy</c-gensym3></Hello></SOAP-E
+NV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
[download]

What i would like to have is:
<Hello xmlns="sth">Jimmy</Hello>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:xsi=htt
+p://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance xmlns:SOAP-ENC=http://schemas.
+xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/ xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org
+/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema" SOAP-EN
+V:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"><SOAP-ENV
+:Body><Hello xmlns="sth">Jimmy</Hello></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Enve
+lope>

Do you know how to remove the tags <c-gensym3> entirely?

Could you please help me in solving this issue?

Thank you very much
