SOAP Client Issue

Hammy has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Good Evening, I am new to the SOAP world and I am having a little bit of difficulty. I am trying to generate a stub (using stubmaker.pl) from a given service (actually I have tried many different services). I continually get an error in Parser.pm on the following line: $result = $expat->parse($arg);

I have read in the Q&A something about building it into Apache. I am not extremely Administrator savy and I do not believe I have access to changing the version or build because I am in a hosted environment. I do have access to configuration files though.

I would think making a call to the given service would be pretty straight forward according to the documentation, but I continually get nothing back. When I run the service with ?wsdl, the results look proper so I think it is me. Any thoughts or was my question too vague? Thanks for any help you can offer.

That is pretty vague. What is the exact error message you receive? My guess is that you're receiving poorly-formed XML, but that's just a guess. Can you narrow down the problem to a small call and response and post that XML as well?	[reply]

Thank you for your reply. I am not sure I fully understand what I am doing yet, but I do understand what I did wrong to begin with. I was trying to run stubmaker.pl off the .wsdl file. The problem is - I created the .wsdl by grabbing the contents of the browser and not grabbing the contents of the view source. Once I grabbed the view source to build the .wsdl, the examples worked so I am almost there. I may have clarification questions, but for now I am off. Again, thanks for responding to me.	[reply]
