Soap Formatting

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

I'm trying to pass a username and a password in a soap transmission so that it looks like

  <soap:Body>
    <GetInfo xmlns="http://server/">
      <username>string</username>
      <password>string</password>
    </GetNursingHomeInfo>
  </soap:Body>
[download]

I can't figure out how I can format the transmission so that it matches the username and password xml fields. I'm making a good call, but don't know how to match what the server (.net implementation of soap) is expecting.
I've tried things like:

    $service -> GetInfo('<username>aimsws</username><password>aimsWS!6
+0</password>');
And it gives me:
<parameters><username>user</username><password>pass</password></parame
+ters>

but it's not getting accepted by the server. Is there a way to make that that I'm just not seeing in the soap lite documentation?
Thanks!

I found some code for setting 'names' in the soap call, and tried: `import SOAP::Data 'name' \|\| print "\n!Couldn't import!\n"; eval { $service = SOAP::Lite ->name('username' => 'user') ->name('password' => 'pass') ->service('http://server/file.asmx?WSDL'); }; #\|\| ($_); # $@ will have the error message, perldoc -f eval` [download] But I get an error: Can't locate class method "name" via package "SOAP::Lite" at script.pl line 98 This closer?

Try co correct your code... use "call" ->name isn´t a method of SOAP::Lite ... Read more... (557 Bytes) -- Marco Antonio Rio-PM	[reply] [d/l]
