I've also found it frustrating getting SOAP::Lite to work with services not made with SOAP::Lite. If you're really interested in getting it to work from Perl, you should read the 'INTEROPERABILITY' section in SOAP::Lite's documentation. My problem with getting it to work with .Net (I know you're using Java, not .Net) was more in terms of getting the developer writing the service to give a clear example of how the service is actually called with XML, rather than code examples in VB. Given some actual XML sent to the server, it's pretty easy to get SOAP::Lite to work right.

Just for your information, your articles do seem a bit trollish. If that's your intention, then carry on, but otherwise you might want to sign up for an account. Some people ignore Anonymous Monk (I often do).
