Re^2: SOAP::Lite server - returning non-SOAP values in sub

[DreamT]

Hi, What I want is that the caller to wrap the return values in soap tags, so that i don't have to add logic in the subs themselves. In this way I can call existing subs without altering them. Of course I need some way to "name" the return values, but I thought that this maybe is possible?

I guess I could wrap the subs up manually, using a "mysub_soap", whose only mission is to call mysub, wrap the return from mysub in tags, and return it.

Its called a subclass, also, a serializer

one way with Autoloading

->dispatch_to('MyModule::SOAPIFY');
...
package MyModule::SOAPIFY;
@ISA = qw[ MyModule ];
sub thisMethodNeedsSpecificWrapping {
    ...
}
sub AUTOLOAD {
   ...
   GenericWrapper...
}
