Greetings,

I am using SOAP::Lite as client on linux and connecting to a Windows SOAP
server.

I was having trouble accessing data within a tag like this:

<attribute name="LastName" value="JONES" />

I cannot access the value "JONES" for a LastName".

I am able to access data between two tags like this:

<ticket>reallylongticketnumber</ticket>

using this code:

my $result = $soap->call($method => @params);
print $result->valueof('//VerifySessionResponse/iwsResponse/sessionInfo/
ticket');

I would greatly appreciate any help. My perl code and the server's xml
response are listed below.

Thanks,

Paul Yuergens

BEGIN PERL CODE

#!/usr/bin/perl

use SOAP::Lite ( +trace => all, maptype => {} );

my $soap = SOAP::Lite
-> uri('http://authenticate.university.edu/iws')
-> on_action( sub{ join '/', 'http://authenticate.university.edu/iws', $_[1]
})
-> proxy('http://authenticate.university.edu/iws');

my $header = SOAP::Header->name(wsStudentCreds => {
password => "xxxx",
id => "dept.university.edu"
})->uri('http://authenticate.university.edu/iws/')->prefix('');
my @params = (
$header,
SOAP::Data->name(ticket => $ARGV[1]),
SOAP::Data->name(userIpAddr => $ARGV[0]),
SOAP::Data->name(returnExtendedAttributes => 1)
);

my $method = SOAP::Data->name('TrueCookie')
->attr({xmlns => 'http://authenticate.university.edu/ws/'});

my $result = $soap->call($method => @params);


if ($result->fault)
{
print $result->faultstring;
}
else
{

print $result->valueof('//VerifySessionResponse/iwsResponse/sessionInfo/
ticket');
}
