SOAP::Lite (agghhh)

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

Hi

Any SOAP Liters out there ?

The example below should generate the following XML packet for SOAP. How can I actually check exactly what is being sent ????

print SOAP::Lite
  ->uri("urn:vgx-horoscope")
  ->proxy("http://thor.velocigen.com:80/vx_engine/soap-trigger.pperl")
  ->getHoroscope(SOAP::Data->name("astrology" => 
                                  \SOAP::Data->name("sign" => 'aries')
+))
  ->result;

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope 
   xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" 
   SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" 
   xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" 
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance" 
   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema">
   <SOAP-ENV:Body>
      <namesp1:getHoroscope xmlns:namesp1="urn:vgx-horoscope">
         <astrology>
        <sign xsi:type="xsd:string">aries</sign>
     </astrology>
      </namesp1:getHoroscope>
   </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

As jeffa suggests using the trace facility in SOAP::Lite is quite easy, you just need: `use SOAP::Lite +trace => 'all';` [download] at the start of the program (rather than the plain 'use' ). For your code you will get gobs of information including the whole request: POST http://thor.velocigen.com:80/vx_engine/soap-trigger.pperl Accept: text/xml Accept: multipart/* Content-Length: 534 Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 SOAPAction: "urn:vgx-horoscope#getHoroscope" <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-EN +V="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w +3.org/1999/XMLSchema" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap +/encoding/" SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/e +ncoding/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance"><SOAP +-ENV:Body><namesp1:getHoroscope xmlns:namesp1="urn:vgx-horoscope"><as +trology><sign xsi:type="xsd:string">aries</sign></astrology></namesp1 +:getHoroscope></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope> [download] /J\	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hi all thanks for replies.. just finished going thru gellyfish's answer from related topic !!! many thanks will take me a bit of time to try all but at first glance the SOAP::Trace gives some useful answers... I find a lot of the SOAP::Lite on-line documentation a bit confusing, but I am getting there (i hope)	[reply]

I'm not a big fan of the SOAP::Lite tracing tools (which are documented in SOAP::Lite). I recommend you set up a logging proxy using HTTP::Proxy. Have it write each request and response to a file and you should be able to follow the transaction exactly as it occurs. -sam	[reply]

Sorry, it's been a while since i touched this stuff, but did you try SOAP::Trace? http://search.cpan.org/~byrne/SOAP-Lite/lib/SOAP/Lite.pm#SOAP::Trace Have a look at it and maybe you will have some better answers when you return. :) jeffa L-LL-L--L-LL-L--L-LL-L-- -R--R-RR-R--R-RR-R--R-RR B--B--B--B--B--B--B--B-- H---H---H---H---H---H--- (the triplet paradiddle with high-hat)	[reply]
