SOAP::Serializer::envelope: Client Application failed during request deserialization

david2008 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all, I worked with the newest version of soap::lite 0.712 and with perl 5.10.1 on solaris SunOS 5.9 Generic_122300-29 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V240 I sent an xml that begins with begins with

<?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:apachens="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap"
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><fin
+d_services
xmlns="Menu/SOAP">
and ends with
</find_services></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
[download]

In tracing we have

SOAP::Transport::new: ()
SOAP::Serializer::new: ()
SOAP::Deserializer::new: ()
SOAP::Parser::new: ()
SOAP::Server::new: ()
SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Server::new: ()

With version soap::lite of 7.10.08 we have the lines
SOAP::SOM::new: ()

SOAP::Data::new: ()

SOAP::Data::DESTROY: ()

(eval): ARRAY(0xaa8b9f8) 0 tst4

SOAP::Server::handle: ARRAY(0xa9de3e0)

which are missing from the new version I opened a bug at https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=58538 . I wanted to know if anyone experienced the same problem. Maybe the api or something changed from 0.710.8 and 0.710.12 ?
Thanks, David

I sent an xml that begins with begins with Sent where from where? I'm afraid you don't provide enough information to help you as the error is akin to 500 server error, it just means the response is not xml (doesn't begin with `<`)	[reply] [d/l]

I sent it through post from one web service to the apache server of another instance which executes the script. Just to see what happens, i intercepted with CGI->new and then printed the input, and it gets a valid xml. I agree that it looks like the xml is broken. But the downgrade of the version of soap::lite from 0.712 to 0.708 solves the problem. If it would be a broken xml, why would the downgrade help?	[reply]

I know i still don't have a self contained program but i think i solved the problem In the function SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI::handle when changing `sysread( STDIN, $buffer, $length )` [download] to `read( STDIN, $buffer, $length )` [download] everything works perfect. I don't know why, but it works now.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I can confirm I had exactly the same problem and fixed successfully just by editing the file as you suggested: sysread( STDIN, $buffer, $length ) to read( STDIN, $buffer, $length ) Centos 5.5 + DAG repositories Before this, I tried reinstalling everything several times from different sources: cpan and rpms using yum+rpmforge. I can't believe it! how disappointing from CPAN.	[reply]
