Hi

I wrote my first web service in Java a week ago. The application server is glassfish and the web service package is JAX-WS.

Servlet client worked, meaning connected to the client and run the method.
I'm trying to implement a Perl client, I used the very helpful instructions here: http://guide.soaplite.com/#access%20with%20service%20description%20(wsdl) My client is based on example 6.b, meaning something like: 
my $service = SOAP::Lite
    -> service('http://www.xmethods.net/sd/StockQuoteService.wsdl');
$result = $service->getQuote('MSFT');
print $result;

[download]

The wsdl file was created with the JAX-WS utility wsgen (as I said it was good enough for the Servlet), and imoprts the xsd file.

I am able to connect to the service, because if I try to activate a method which does not exist I get a message that the method does not exist, but when I try to run an existing method I get a warning that $result is not initialized.

Any ideas or suggestions? Is this a problem with the wsdl file? Can this be connected to the importing of the xsd file (seems not likely to me, but that's the noly difference I could see from the examples I saw)?

Many thanks

Sigal
