SOAP::WSDL isn't generating interfaces

[ptomblin]

I'm trying to connect to a WSDL service at the company I'm consulting to. I should state that I'm a complete newbie with SOAP and WSDL, although I've done plenty of other things with XML. The people in charge of the WSDL services don't speak Perl or anything other than Java, so they haven't been very helpful. My first step was to try to generate some classes, using the URL they gave me:

~$ wsdl2perl.pl -b wsdl_test/ -s http://sv-websvc-t1:9080/UAASCIAMWebS
+ervices/services/UAASPort
Use of uninitialized value $namespace in hash element at /opt/perl/lib
+/site_perl/5.12.2/SOAP/WSDL/TypeLookup.pm line 235.
Use of uninitialized value $namespace in hash element at /opt/perl/lib

junk after document element at line 2, column 0, byte 64 at /opt/perl/

I tried the trick I saw on a couple of posts here and tried appending '?wsdl' to their URL to get the WSDL, but that gave me another error. So they said "no, the WSDL is at another url", so I tried that:

~$ wsdl2perl.pl -b wsdl_test/ http://sv-websvc-t1:9080/UAASCIAMWebServ
+ices/services/UAASPort/wsdl/ciam_uaas.wsdl
[snip lots of "Creating complexType class" messages]
Creating element class MyElements/createADAccountOutput.pm
unsupported global type <faults:BaseFault> found in part <baseFault>
Looks like a rpc/literal WSDL, which is not supported by SOAP::WSDL

I can't see anything in faults::BaseFault that looks any different from any other fault. wsdl_test/MyTypes/ has PM files for all of the types in faults.xsd including BaseFault, so I'm not sure what the error is telling me.

But more important (I think) is that I don't see the promised interface classes. How can I connect to this service?

I don't know anything about SOAP::WSDL, but I've great luck with XML::Compile, XML::Compile::SOAP and friends. Sorry if it's just another blind alley, or too late to change at this point.

I'm actually getting somewhere with SOAP::Lite, but it's a slog. I might try your suggestion instead.

[ptomblin]

If anybody cares, here's how I got it to work:

use strict;

use Data::Dumper;
use SOAP::Lite ;

my $s = SOAP::Lite->new(
        proxy => "http://sv-websvc-t1:9080/UAASCIAMWebServices/service
+s/UAASPort",
        uri => undef,
);
$s->autotype(0)->readable(1);
$s->ns("http://associate.insidecarefirst.com/ciamservices/service/uaas
+_types", "uaas_types");
$s->ns("http://www.carefirst.com/ciam/services/uaas", "uaas");
$s->ns("http://associate.insidecarefirst.com/ciamservices/service/ciam
+_types", "ciam_types");
$s->default_ns('');

my $r = $s->call("uaas:getContractorProfileInput",
                SOAP::Data->name('uaas_types:userName')->value('aaa364
+4')
);

#print "dump: ", Dumper($r), "\n";
die "faultstring:", $r->fault->{faultstring} if ($r->fault);
print "result:",  Dumper($r->result), "\n";
