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

   -> 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/
