SOAP reply with correct namespace

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

Hi,

We have a SOAP server created with "SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Server->new();", however for some reason it doesn't reply with the same namespace as the SOAP request.

For example if we get request:
<q1:get_my_person xmlns:q1="http://127.0.0.1/Our/API">...</q1:get_my_person>

Then I think we should reply with:
<q1:get_my_personResponse xmlns:q1="http://127.0.0.1/Our/API">...</q1:get_my_personResponse>

But we actually reply:
<get_my_personResponse xmlns="http://127.0.0.1/Our/API">...</get_my_personResponse>

Am I right in what I think? Anyone know how to make SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Server reply with the namespace provided by the client?
BTW, the namespace seems to be an issue because Visual Studio client won't recognise the result without the namespace it provided. Any advice on Visual Studio specific issues also welcome.
Thanks!

Specify a namespace, use one the client gives you, basic SOAP::Data.... make some xml BTW, the namespace seems to be an issue because Visual Studio client won't recognise the result without the namespace it provided. That sounds backwards, but it probably isn't the case. The likely issue is your WSDL specification is wrong, in addition to SOAP::Lite not handling it correctly. PS. I hate soap.	[reply]

Ok, to be more specific, anyone know how to get the namespace passed from the client using SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Server? And what is the best way to set the namespace on the reply? I know about the `$server->serializer( MySerializer->new );` method, but it seems a bit long winded. Not a fan of SOAP either, but having to make do! Thanks.	[reply] [d/l]

Interrogate the appropriate object, like the envelope, there is an example in this treasure trove of SOAP examples and SOAP::Server/SOAP::SOM And what is the best way to set the namespace on the reply? I know about the $server->serializer( MySerializer->new ); method, but it seems a bit long winded. I don't know of a different way to do it, do you?	[reply]
