Re: Connection to SOAP WSDL service using perl

Hello Monks,

I have some troubles connecting to SOAP WSDL service using perl and module XML::Compile::SOAP.

Service to which I am trying to connect doesn't provide any documentation for perl they well documented php connection:

PHP call for status method:

require_once('nusoap.php');
$soapClient = new nusoap_client('https://myservice.com/service.php +?w
+sdl', true);
$result = $soapClient->call( 'doQueryAllSysStatus', array( array( 'cou
+ntryId' => 1, 'webapiKey' => 'WEBAPI_KEY' ) ) );

In perl I wrote:

use XML::Compile::WSDL11; # use WSDL version 1.1
use XML::Compile::SOAP11; # use SOAP version 1.1
use XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP
my $wsdl = XML::Compile::WSDL11->new("https://myservice.com/service.ph
+ +p?wsdl"); 
$wsdl->importDefinitions('doQueryAllSysStatus');
my $call = $wsdl->compileClient('doQueryAllSysStatus');

[runrig]

And the problem was ... ?

my $wsdl = XML::Compile::WSDL11->new("https://myservice.com/service.ph
+p?wsdl");

I'm pretty sure XML::Compile will not download the wsdl from a URL. You'll have to do that yourself, and then pass the file name to new().

$wsdl->importDefinitions('doQueryAllSysStatus');
my $call = $wsdl->compileClient('doQueryAllSysStatus');

I'm also pretty sure you do not need to call importDefinitions. At least not with the method you want to compile. importDefinitions is, e.g., for supplying additional xsd files that define the service. Which you will have to download if there are any.
