I got this working. I created a module I am calling DataSet.pm which
makes this possible. DataSet.pm contains the template for constucting
the XML for a .NET DataSet. It constructs the XML from hashes passed in
as parameters. These hashes were returned from the requested DBI
queries. SOAPLite returns it as a SOAP message. A .NET client displays
each DataSet table in a web page as a DataGrid (for example, using VB
code similar to below).

Anyone interested in this module (and the related WSDL file)?

Subject: [soaplite] Returning a .NET DataSet to a .NET Client


Has anyone tried to return a .NET Dataset to a .NET client from a
SOAPLite server?

I want to be able to pass a list of queries from a .NET client and
receive a DataSet of tables for each query which I want to display as a
DataGrid on a web page.

For example, I want the code to look something like the following:

Dim mySOAPLiteServer as SOAPLiteServer = New SOAPLiteServer()
Dim myQueries as New HashTable()
myQueries("Authors") = "select * from Authors"
myQueries("Publishers") = "select * from Publishers"
Dim myDataSet as Dataset = mySOAPLiteServer.GetDataSet(myQueries)
myWebPageAuthorsDataGrid.DataSource =
myDataSet.Tables("Authors").DefaultView
myWebPageAuthorsDataGrid.DataBind()

Any ideas/suggestions?

I'm writing a SOAP::Lite client trying to process the following response
"signature". Hopefully the names/types show what is going on:

  <SOAP-ENV:Body>
   <gv:getMultiNodeFieldsFromIDsResponse>
    <nodeInfo xsi:type="gv:VectorMapStringString">
     <item xsi:type="gv:MapStringString">
      <item xsi:type="gv:StringPair">
       <name></name>
       <value></value>
      </item>
     </item>
    </nodeInfo>
   </gv:getMultiNodeFieldsFromIDsResponse>
  </SOAP-ENV:Body>

Essentially what this is trying to model on perh terms is an array of
hashes: the "StringPair item" is a single hash entry, the "MapStringString
item" is a single hash, ans the "VectorMapStringString nodeInfo" represents
the array.

Having successfully used the xpath-based parser before, I thught I'd try it
again:

     my %storyFields;
     my $i=0;
     foreach my $a ($res->dataof("//nodeInfo/*"))
     {
         my ($name, $value);
         $i++;
         my $j=0;
         my %fields;
         foreach my $b ($res->dataof("//nodeInfo/[$i]/*"))
         {
             $j++;
             foreach my $c ($res->dataof("//nodeInfo/[$i]/[$j]/*"))
             {
                 $name=$c->value if($c->name eq "name");
                 $value=$c->value if($c->name eq "value");
             }
             $fields{$name}=$value if(defined($name) && defined($value));
         }
         my $id=$fields{id};
         foreach my $f (keys %fields)
         {
             print "->\t\t$id: $f\n";
             next if($f eq "id");
             $storyFields{$id}{$f}=$fields{$f};
         }
     }

...which works, but is *chronically* slow. Sticking "print" statements in
the above, I watch it taking about 2 seconds per item in the array... The
array contains approx 300 items, each hash contains 6 entries, one of which
can be a name-value pair where the value is 2k of text. Net result: one
rather large XML file that takes eons to parse.

I was wondering what optimisations on the above I can bring to bare. Using
trace() seems to show that $res->result is available very quickly, it's
simply going round these XPATH loops that's painfully slow.

Is there anything useful I can do with the $a and $b references that means I
can avoid the inner loops' XPATH expressions: i.e. can I not do something
like:

	 foreach my $a ($res->dataof("//nodeInfo/*"))
		 foreach my $b ($a->children)
			 foreach my $c ($b->children)
				 # add to my own hash here

Thanks for your help,

I keep getting the error in the subject as a warning. I do not
understand why.  I am returning other hashes within hashes in the
record return.

  '_cgi' => {   '.charset' => 'ISO-8859-1',
                '.parameters' => [],
                '.fieldnames' => ''
             },


Is this because of my .parameters => []?

The message keeps comming up - about 9 times.

Any ideas?  Thanks.

Hi All,

I am trying to do a very simple thing... please help me, I really
don't know how to move forward (I have read all SOAP Lite docs,
guides, and books...with no answers)..

I am building a SOAP client. The client needs to send the following
data:

applicationID -> string
sessionID -> string
event ->
     eventID -> string
     description -> string

I do not know how to specify the "event" data element.. Please help
me!!


what I have now is:

#!perl -w

use SOAP::Lite;

use SOAP::Lite +trace => qw(result);

my $soap = SOAP::Lite
   -> uri('http://somewhere/wsdl/service/1.0')
   -> proxy('https:///somewhere/soap/1.0/');

my $result = $soap->authoriseApplicationEvent(
                      SOAP::Data->name(sessionID => 'rwr4rewr'),
                      SOAP::Data->name(applicationID => '650238'),
               ???       SOAP::Data->name('event')->value(???)
                  );

unless ($result->fault)
{
   print $result->result();
}
else
{
   print join ', ',
   $result->faultcode,
   $result->faultstring;
}


It seems to crap out on the line identified with ????

Luc,

Try using ->call instead:

<example>
import SOAP::Data 'name';

print SOAP::Lite
     ->uri($endpoint)
     ->proxy($proxy)
     ->call(
            name('authoriseApplicationEvent')
            ->attr({'xmlns' => 'some namespace'}) # Optional
            =>(
               name('sessionID')->value($sessionID),
               name('applicationID')->value($applicationID),
	      '''
              )
           )
     ->result;
</example>

Also, if you're running against a .NET server, you'll almost certainly
have to set ->on_action.

Hope that helps,
Best,
Todd

When encoding a field SOAP::Lite uses the field name as the element
name. XML restricts the characters that can comprise an element name and
one rule is that a name
cannot begin with a dot (the initial character must be alphanumeric, _
or :).

Hi Luc,

You're welcome.  Should be exactly like the previous example:

<example>
print SOAP::Lite
      ->uri($endpoint)
      ->proxy($proxy)
      ->call(
	    name('sessionID')->value(somevalue),
	    name('applicationID')->value(somevalue),
             name('event')
             =>(
                name('sessionID')->value(somevalue),
                name('description')->value(somevalue),
             '''
               )
            )
      ->result;
</example>

Turn +trace on to see exactly what you're sending, but I thing that will
do the job.

Best,
Todd

Hi all!

Using SOAP::Lite on the client side, I have data which is being passed
to me as:

xsi:type = http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/base64

and these are decoded automatically by SOAP::Lite.  Wonderful!  However,
when data is passed to me as:

xsi:type = http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema/base64Binary

SOAP::Lite does not automatically decode it.  This is surprising,
because the definition of SOAP-ENC:base64 is:

<xs:simpleType name="base64">
<xs:restriction base="xs:base64Binary"/>
</xs:simpleType>

So the two really should be handled identically (or??).

The same does *not* hold true for strings; data (in particular, escaped
XML) with SOAP-ENC:string are de-escaped by SOAP::Lite on the receiving
end, as are those encoded as xs:string - there is no (visible)
difference in behaviour in these two cases.

Am I missing something, or is this a bug in the way SOAP::Lite handles
base64 data?

Any advice appreciated!

Hi,

I've been trying to get customized fault codes for XML-RPC using SOAP:
:Lite.  I see from http://groups.yahoo.com/group/soaplite/message/1326
that the XML-RPC fault codes SOAP::Lite returns are a string.  I want
the XML-RPC server to be compatible with as many clients as possible.
Which make_fault method am I supposed to override?  If possible, I'd
appreciate it if someone could post some sample codes.  Thanks ;)

Hi,

how can I make the output of the debug and trace functions, which goes to
the console, available inside my perl client. In the first instance I want
to write it to a log file. At the moment I can see the output if I run the
client from a shell, but I don't know how to access it inside the client
(e.g. if the client is started by a web forms submit button). I want to
write the output to a log file and send it to a web page in addition.

best wishes,
Stefan

Hi,

Quite new to SOAP::Lite, I encouter problems with encoding.

I need to access a soap object with one method. This method takes a XML
message as argument (which contains request) and returns another XML
message (the response). I access the server by using WSDL. The problem
is that characters in the response XML message are encoded in utf-8 but
the XML declaration of the response doesn't contain an encoding
declaration. The raw HTTP communication tells me that.

And yes, it is XML wrapped in SOAP. Very nice HTTP communication :)


My primary solution is to add that encoding declaration to the response.
However, the Soap server is developed and hosted by a third party and
they are not willing to do that (or it takes some time).

So is there any way to convince SOAP::Lite (or Perl?) to apply correct
decoding?

Maybe this is just a perl problem but I hope more SOAP developer are
dealing with these issues.

Hi,

It turns out that there are a lot of encoding issues in the application.

Valfréjus is the example.
the é was encoded as C3 83 C2 A9. This turned out to be twice encoded
utf8. so in perl, I need to decode it twice. This seems to work but not
in all cases. Unfortunately. It is a very confusing situation anyway.

Since this application works in a client / server environment, we need
to see where the problems start.

At the server, we have a database, an XML interface, a webserver. I
don't have access to that part, because it third party software.

At the client, we have Perl, SOAP::Lite.

Now I am wondering, does SOAP::Lite any character conversion? Or just
pass it through without touching the data?

I believe it works that way, because in the HTTP layer, I can see the
wrongly coded parts.

regards,
rutger

Bruno,

Have you had any luck with this yet?  If not, could you send me the
+trace output, and I'll have a look to see if I can help?

Cheers,
Todd

Use IO::Capture::Stderr to wrap your call and then output the captured
results into your logfile.

Hi,

I noticed that the XMLRPC daemon does not fork on an incoming request,
it seems to handle anything only serial (where do i find _any_
documentation about the XMLRPC implementation that comes with
SOAP::Lite , and its behaviour? ). We don't want to have a webserver
running for XMLRPC, but we need to handle lots of parallel requests. I
don't know how to get this working. Would be nice to have a transport
module that could be used with inetd, i don't really want to write a
wrapper for that.

Thanks,

Sven

Hi Pierre,

There is nothing obvious.  What should the return value be?
'teststring'?  Hope you don't mind, but I'm posting this back to the
mailing list as well.  I would like to keep it public in case anyone
else has any sudden insights.

Also, I see the version at the bottom of the mesage, but is that the
version you are using? If not, could you attach a sanitized copy of the
code you are using to generate the query?

Here's a quick thought--have you tried setting an explicit type when
building the soap data (try turning +autotyping on).  Also, I assume
you've gone through everything in the manpage regarding .NET
interoperability, right?

Also, what version of perl are you using?

Best,
Todd

The XMLRPC::Lite package is not designed to be a complete daemon/server
solution. Nor is SOAP::Lite. Both are object frameworks around which you can
build a server and/or daemon.

There are examples of doing this, using the XMLRPC::Lite::Transport high-level
driver-class. Look in the "examples/XMLRPC" directory, specifically at the file
"xmlrpc.daemon". This does not fork, either, but it illustrates how one would
write a daemon for XMLRPC::Lite (it uses HTTP::Daemon as the listener). You
will have to provide the forking, either by sub-classing an existing transport
class, or by using something like Net::Server.

I'm trying to override the default namespace tag and I could use some
help. My code:

<snip>
$self->{som} = $self->{soap}->SetConfig(

		 # Generate body

		 SOAP::Data->type( 'tns:ConfigData' )->name(
			 'CfgData' => \SOAP::Header->value(

			 SOAP::Data->type( 'string' )->name( 'SessionID' )->value(
$session_id ),

			 SOAP::Data->type( 'long' )->name( 'ConfigID' )->value( $config_id ),

More data stuffs...
);

</snip>

The problem is that it generates this tag:

<namesp3:SetConfig xmlns:namesp3="http://url/to/file.wsdl">

but I want it get ride of the namesp3 and have it as:

<tns:SetConfig>

(ditching the xmlns tag would be nice too)

Any help is greatly appericiated!
TIA! :)

Hi,

Is it possible?  Does anyone have some sample code of an attachment
being passed via SOAP over SMTP?

I've done quite a lot of googling... all googled out :-)

Thanks

Hi

This is not a question specific to SOAP::Lite, so please direct me to
an appropriate forum if necessary.

I have an ASP.NET Web Application which uses authenticated access.
The application folder has Directory security set to Basic
authentication (windows authentication). Now is it true that I can
access any page in this application after being authenticated _just
once per session_ by IIS? My limited experience indicates that this
is the case. I am guessing that IIS uses session ids to decide
whether it should request authentication or not.

Now, the same does not seem true with a Web Service which has its
root folder Directory security set to Basic authentication. I am
required to provide credentials along with _every_ web method call.
How can I make the web service request authentication just once per
session? If this is not possible, why not?

Thanks
Raj

All,

Is there any low-impact method for getting SOAP::Lite to accept an RPC
response with rpc/literal serialization?  I found that I can override the
default encodingStyle by doing this after instantiating a SOAP object:

$SOAP::Constants::SOAP_VERSIONS{'1.1'}->{NS_ENC} =
     "http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/literalxml";

But this seems quite brute-force and causes breakage if, e.g. the
conventional "soap/encoded" namespace is declared anywhere else in the
envelope (should be allowable in the header and/or higher-level elements).

This code is tripping it up:

   die "Unrecognized/unsupported value of encodingStyle attribute
'$encodingStyle'\n"
     if defined $encodingStyle &&
        length($encodingStyle) != 0 && # encodingStyle=""
        $encodingStyle !~ /(?:^|\b)$SOAP::Constants::NS_ENC/;
                         # ^^^^^^^^ \b causing problems (!?) on some systems
                         # as reported by David Dyck <dcd@...>
                         # so use (?:^|\b) instead

For reasons I cannot get into, modification of the module is not a viable
option.

(Speaking on his own behalf - not my employers)

*SOAP::Serializer::as_string = \&SOAP::Serializer::as_base64;

Doesn't work for me, I get this error:

  Type 'base64' can't be found in a schema class 'SOAP::Serializer'

Not sure what the problem is.... any ideas anyone?

Hallo,

Is there a way to make use of the HTTP/1.1 keep-alive feature when
calling several methods of a web service within a few seconds? I'd
like to get rid of the SSL handshake delay, but could not find anything
in the manual page.

I am using SOAP::Lite 0.60a from CPAN.

Regards,
Harald

Has anyone successfully written a SOAP::Lite client with ActiveState
5.6 for Win32 that uses HTTPS?

Trying to convert working client to HTTPS but getting numerous "not
found" Perl modules.

Hi,

In looking at the SOAP::Lite CPAN package, it is named 'SOAP-Lite-0.60a',
but when it's unpacked, it creates a directory named 'SOAP-Lite-0.60'.
According to the standard CPAN.pm documentation, these names are supposed to
be identical.  I realize this is a bit nit-picking, but it causes problems
for some automated installation tools that I use.

Can you publish either a SOAP-Lite-0.61 or change the directory name to
match the package name?

thanks
dave

I've been reading 'Programming Web Services w/ Perl', which is a great
book BTW. However, I'm not clear on something: Is XML-RPC limted to
using HTTP as the transport mechanism, or can it also use HTTPS like
SOAP?  If so, I think XML-RPC is all I need.

I'm trying to create a utility that will read log data, parse it into
XML, then send it to a logging server where the data gets stored in a
database.  I've got the read/parse thing working fine, but the
transport/store thing is an issue. <g>  Since I will be sending the log
data from remote servers over the Internet, I assumed I would eventually
want to use the more secure HTTPS protocol.

Thanks,

Jim

Hi, how can I create the following request with SOAP::Lite?

...
   <SOAP-ENV:Body>
     <m:getAvailableFieldNames xmlns:m="v2"
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
       <reportOptions xsi:type="m0:ReportOptions">
         <dataSource xsi:type="xsd:string">MyDataSourceString</dataSource>
       </reportOptions>
     </m:getAvailableFieldNames>
   </SOAP-ENV:Body>
...

My attempt (that fails) is:
my $fields = SOAP::Lite
-> service ("http://$server/services/v2/$wsdl")
-> getAvailableFieldNames( SOAP::Data->name(dataSource => "$ds") ) ;

which produces:
...
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<namesp1:getAvailableFieldNames xmlns:namesp1="v2">
<dataSource xsi:type="xsd:string">MyDataSourceString</dataSource>
</namesp1:getAvailableFieldNames>
</SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client::send_receive:
HTTP::Response=HASH(0x2b0f574)
SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client::send_receive: HTTP/1.1 500 Internal
Server Error

I've read lots of SOAP::Lite documentation etc, but can't seem to
figure out how to use more complex objects...

Any help appreciated,
Bjorn
