Re^2: SOAP - Returning response from Server to Client request based on the <Action>

jhorcule, first of all thanks for insisting on "use strict" pragma. In every program, I make it a point to use "strict" and "warning" pragmas, Here I left it go somehow.

The modified "byName sub" in your server code, gave what I was looking for.
"Warn" also helped me to check the structure of the document passed to the server.

Regarding the custom serializer,I've implemented the serializer and deserializer on both client/server ends which looks as below:

#Client
my $uri = 'Delivery';
my $serializer = DataSerializer->new;

print $res->fault ? $res->faultstring. "\n" : $res->result;

BEGIN{

package DataSerializer;

 @DataSerializer::ISA = 'SOAP::Serializer';

    sub xmlize {
        my $self = shift;
        my($name, $attrs, $values, $id) = @{+shift};
        $attrs ||= {};

        # keep only namespace attributes for all elements
        my $a = $attrs->{xmlns} ? {xmlns => $attrs->{xmlns}} : {};

        return $self->SUPER::xmlize([$name, $a, $values, $id]);
    }

    sub envelope {
        $_[2] = (UNIVERSAL::isa($_[2] => 'SOAP::Data') ? $_[2] :
                 SOAP::Data->name($_[2])->attr({xmlns => $uri}))
            if $_[1] =~ /^(?:method|response)$/;
        shift->SUPER::envelope(@_);
    }

} #End BEGIN block


#SERVER
SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI
  -> dispatch_to($uri)
  -> serializer(DataSerializer->new)
  -> handle;

package DataSerializer;

  @DataSerializer::ISA = 'SOAP::Serializer';

  sub xmlize {
    my $self = shift;
    my($name, $attrs, $values, $id) = @{+shift};
    $attrs ||= {};

    # keep only namespace attributes for all elements
    my $a = $attrs->{xmlns} ? {xmlns => $attrs->{xmlns}} : {};

    return $self->SUPER::xmlize([$name, $a, $values, $id]);
  }
  sub envelope {
    $_[2] = (UNIVERSAL::isa($_[2] => 'SOAP::Data') ? $_[2] :
             SOAP::Data->name($_[2])->attr({xmlns => $uri}))
      if $_[1] =~ /^(?:method|response)$/;
    shift->SUPER::envelope(@_);
  }

} #End BEGIN block

Do you think that the above serializer/deserializer is sufficient or any changes need to be made..

I also wanted to ask one question regarding the XMLschema . I'd like to change the schema definition to '2001', currently the generated SOAP envelope returns xmlns as '1999'.
Thanks once again for your suggestions.

From the looks of things, you're serializing in the document/literal style, as opposed to RPC/encoded. The only thing that I can think of is that you might get some oddities from multiple references to the same object. (but you'd know the data you're sending out better than others, and you may not ever pass that sort of thing) As for the XML Schema 2001, I think all that you need to do is to inherit from `SOAP::XMLSchema2001::Serializer` rather than `SOAP::Serializer` in your serializer. (but I've never tried doing that).	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The differing namespaces determine the SOAP version, the '1999' versions specify SOAP 1.1, you can set the version to 1.2 using the `soapversion()` method of SOAP::Lite /J\	[reply] [d/l]
