Hi There,

I using SOAP::Lite to access Web Service method call, the method call is basically a query that returns the data in XML or complexType. However, when I make the method call and using SOAP::Lite trace, partial data returned do not seem to be deserialized. This causes me not to be able to use $som->valueof() function to retrieve the return values. Does anyone know why this is so? Or any ideas on how to debug this?

Here is trace code that illustrates the incorrect return values where the <, > and return are replaced with <,> and  entities, respectively.

The odd thing is when I print the result SOAP::Lite method call, results print correctly.

    my $result = $service->call($method => @params);
    print $result->result;

Printed output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<UDSObjectList>

<UDSObject>

<Handle>pcat:400004</Handle>

<Attributes>

<Attribute DataType="2002">

<AttrName>sym</AttrName>

<AttrValue>Hosted Solutions Support</AttrValue>

</Attribute>

<Attribute DataType="2002">

<AttrName>description</AttrName>

<AttrValue/>

</Attribute>

</Attributes>

</UDSObject>

</UDSObjectList>
