Re^2: SOAP::Lite and custom envelopes

I agree with the observation, but that just not defeats the usage of a webservice? I mean, if I need to talk with the third party person the implementation details of their webservice, why use SOAP at all? Should the differences in the envelopes have any importance?

I'm saying that because sometime ago I tried to make a SOAP::Lite SOAP service work with a .Net client and it was a real pain to do it.

Yes, it is a .Net webservice. They offer as well a SOAP client written in Java which can be used somehow with Java.pm but we don't want to use Java in our production system. After unsuccessfully trying to install SOAP::Simple I used the lowlevel way: LWP::UserAgent for the request and pattern matching for the response parsing. Maybe not the classical way but in this case it was the fastest. Anyway, thanks for your help, everybody.	[reply]

why use SOAP at all? Because you're brain damaged :D See REST-vs-SOAP a parable and The REST Dialogs FWIW, yes, SOAP::Lite is limited, but there are alternatives like SOAP::WSDL and XML::Compile::SOAP::Client/SOAP::Simple	[reply]

When I tried to use SOAP::Lite with a .Net class, I spent a lot of time trying to make the .Net understand the service's WSDL (that I had to do basically manually). It didn't work. Then I tried to reverse the order, making a Perl SOAP client for the .Net service. Again SOAP::Lite didn't help because I couldn't read the WSDL and create a stub. That might have changed by now, but SOAP::Lite cannot work with SOAP document style, which is the defaul option for .Net (it uses RPC style). XML::Compile::SOAP::Client worked much better in this case. Alceu Rodrigues de Freitas Junior --------------------------------- "You have enemies? Good.

Solved: verify end server is functioning and connectivity before trying to learn perl's adaption for it.	[reply]
