Dear Monks,

Y have read as much as can about this problem and can't find a solution to it. Hope I can explain it clearly. I'm consuming a web service on .Net server. And they have the following request format for there service.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soap:Envelope ...>
<soap:Body>
<getStamp xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
...XML FILE...
</getStamp>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

When I execute my code to consume the service SOAP::Lite generates the following request XML.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soap:Envelope ...>
<soap:Body>
<getStamp xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
<c-gensym2>
...XML FILE...
</c-gensym2>
</getStamp>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

[download]

The section of code that produces the above XML is:

$client = SOAP::Lite
  -> proxy($endpoint);
$client->soapversion('1.1');
$client->on_action(sub {"http://tempuri.org/getStamp"});
$client->autotype(0);
$client->default_ns($namespace);

$res = $client->getStamp($xml_file);

If I rewrite the call to

$method = SOAP::Data->name('getStamp')->attr({xmlns => $namespace});
$res = $client->call('getStamp',
SOAP::Data->name('getStamp')->attr({xmnls => $namespace})->value($xml_
+file)
);

[download]

Then the the request XML becomes this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soap:Envelope ...>
<soap:Body>
<getStamp xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
<getStamp xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
...XML FILE...
</getStamp>
</getStamp>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

So. If I add a Data name, the gensym tag is removed but now I have an extra getStamp tag.

If I understand this, apparently SOAP::Lite enforces the use of a variable name after the Method name tag (if I interpret the XML correctly). If I do not explicitly set one it adds the gensym tag. In any case I end up with an extra tag all the time (generic or named)

The options I'm seeking help for are:

1) If there is a way to tell SOAP::Lite that I have a method call with no parameter name? or

2) A way to parse the soap envelope before sending it to the web service and remove those tags my self.
