Robin,

I believe that there is something in the SOAP::Lite man page to this effect, or at least for working with .Net in general. for my web service, which was written solely for working with .Net clients, i dicovered that .Net didn't like the prefix stuff tha SOAP::Lite includes, an example of one of my responses is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<LogoutResponse xmlns="http://blahblahblah/ClientLogin/">
<LogoutResult>0</LogoutResult>
<errorMessage>SUCCESS</errorMessage>
</LogoutResponse>
</soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

 I had to remove the gensym and namesp tags.

There *should* be a way to do this when you initialize SOAP::Lite, but i could never get it quite right, so i always end up hacking the .pm to correct it, if someone can show me an example of setting up the prefixes for .Net without hacking the module, that would be cool.

In any case robin, i hope this helps.

Hi all,

I have written a SOAP server using SOAP::Lite. It has a wsdl file at http://dpg.dialogue.net/WAP_Soap.wsdl

I have tested the service with both perl and php clients. We have a new customer that is coding in .Net and having trouble integrating the method calls. The server logs show a method request and a result being sent back, but the client can't seem to get at the results. Initially they only received a string with "status", so I changed the wsdl to include a complex type as the return parameter. The actual perl server code just returns a hash.

The client has said that "the .Net framework cannot parse the XML being returned from the createSession SOAP call as one of the namespaces is declared within the node using the namespace.  .NET needs it to be declared before it is used or it throws an error."

Firstly, is this conclusion correct? Has anyone experienced a problem like this with .Net? And if it is, can anyone help with suggestions on suppressing/removing the namespace part.

So the SOAP body looks like:
 <SOAP-ENV:Body>
 <namesp35:createSessionResponse xmlns:namesp35=" http://dpg.dialogue.net/WAP_Soap">
       <s-gensym283 xsi:type="xsd:string">status</s-gensym283>
       <s-gensym285 xsi:type="xsd:int">00</s-gensym285>
       <s-gensym287 xsi:type="xsd:string">sessionID</s-gensym287>
       <s-gensym289 xsi:type="xsd:string">42053C6A714211DA909B8DCE9602641D</s-gensym289>
       <s-gensym291 xsi:type="xsd:string">redirectURL</s-gensym291>
       <s-gensym293 xsi:type="xsd:string">http://myurl.com?s=42053C6A714211DA909B8DCE9602641D</s-gensym293>
 </namesp35:createSessionResponse>
 </SOAP-ENV:Body>
 </SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
 
But this won't work unless the namesp35 namespace is declared before it is used.  Taking out the section in bold should work, according to the customer.

The other thing I though it might be was not encoding the result hash as a correct SOAPata type object that matches the wsdl description. Or maybe I should be looking at overriding the serialiser.

As you can probably tell, I have no idea what to do to get this working. I don't have access to any .Net technology to play with. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Robin
