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

The following script segment
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
use SOAP::Lite +trace => [qw(method fault headers result debug)];

 $uri  = "http://webservice.proc.req.lbg.com/";
 $proxy  = "http://10.161.3.159/LBGRequestProcessorWEB/LBGOIMRequestPr
+ocessorService"; 
                  
 @params  =  (SOAP::Data->name("arg0" =>
     \SOAP::Data->value 
         (SOAP::Data->name(actionType => ""),
         SOAP::Data->name(additionalOperationType =>""),
         SOAP::Data->name(originatingSystem => ""),
         SOAP::Data->name(recipientId => ""),
         SOAP::Data->name(requestId => ""),
         SOAP::Data->name(requestType => ""),
         SOAP::Data->name(resourceType => "")
       ),
      ),
    );

 $method  = SOAP::Data->name('processRequest')
       ->attr({xmlns => $uri})  ;

 $soap = SOAP::Lite
  -> uri($uri)  -> on_action( sub { '' } )  -> proxy($proxy)  ;
          
  $result = $soap->call($method => @params);

gives me this output

After playing about in SoapUI with this I've worked out that I need the output to be as below, specifically, the extra xmlns:web line and the subsequent web: prefix of the <processRequest> tags all in bold

Any help much appreciated

    I don't know much about SOAP, but the ->default_ns, ->ns and ->use_prefix methods of SOAP::Lite seem promising, at least if you do not need the explicit web: prefix but can do with any prefix.

      I'm not to up on it either, any idea how I would incorporate that into my code?
[reply]

        I would call the methods with the appropriate parameter, as documented.

    I've been saying this over and over, so here it goes again.

    SOAP::Lite should only be seen as an archeological module. It doesn't implement any of SOAP current uses. SOAP-Encoding should be considered deprecated (it's even removed from newer SOAP spec). XML::Compile::SOAP implements correct SOAP semantics. You can use SOAP::Simple to reduce the code overhead.

      Maybe you should post links and code examples? The OPs code is only 25 lines :)
