How to go from WSDL to SOAP::Lite client code

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

Anyone know of a good tutorial on how to get the info one needs to write SOAP::Lite client code for a service from it's WSDL, preferably straight SOAP and .Net. I have been unable to find much. There are a lot of examples on what options to specify when calling a SOAP or .Net service, but nothing much that says "here is a WSDL, and here are the items in the WSDL that map to the calls you need to make".

Or is there some better way to do this I am missing?

Hi suaveant, You might want to read some articles from IBM developerWorks. In particular, you might be interested in: Ask the magic eight ball: “In this article, Doug Tidwell takes a simple piece of code, deploys it as a Web service, and writes a few clients for it. Next, he discusses how to create a description of the Web service and how to store that description in a registry and on a Web server.” Deploying Web services with WSDL: Part 1: “In the Deploying Web services with WSDL series, Bilal will explore all major technical aspects of creating, deploying, and publishing Web services -- from Web Services Markup Language (WSDL), to Simple Object access Protocol (SOAP), and Universal Description Discovery and Integration (UDDI) registries. Part 1 focuses on WSDL authoring” Deploying Web services with WSDL, Part 2: Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP): “Learn SOAP syntax and deploy WSDL applications using SOAP” Developing Web services, Part 3: SOAP interoperability Web services insider, Part 1: Reflections on SOAP I hope this helps Cheers, lin0	[reply]

If the WSDL is decent it should be pretty straight forward. I don't know of any tutorials, but I'm not going to google for you either. You might check out SOAP::WSDL, it will do a lot of the heavy lifting for you.	[reply]
