SOAP Lite WSDL Question

[casey0999]

Good morning--

I'm a reasonably experienced Perl programmer, but new to accessing SOAP methods. Specifically, I'm trying to pull out the proper parameters from a customer-supplied WSDL file, and determine the arguments to supply to a SOAP::Lite call, as follows:

In my subroutine to execute a SOAP method, supplying the method name (StartTransaction) and arguments, I use something like: (see below for WSDL source)

my $func = shift @_;

$soap = SOAP::Lite
-> uri('urn:company-com:gateway:v1/ITokenServiceContract/')
-> proxy('http://xxxxx.test.hatchlab.fr/201303')
-> $func(@_);


------------------------------------------
The above executes, but produces an error in the SOAP-Lite debug log:
"IIS 7.5 Detailed Error - 405.0 - Method Not Allowed"

...probably because the uri and proxy fields above are not correct, therefore I'm probably not getting to the SOAP dispatcher. Am I interpreting the WSDL correctly to set URI and PROXY? (WSDL port and binding excerpt below)

THANKS!

SOAP uses HTTP with an XML payload. "405.0 - Method Not Allowed" usually indicates a URL + method combo that the web server doesn't like. You should be able to test this by going to said URL (proxy) yourself (your browser would use the GET method though, so in case the server treats GET and POST differently, you may want to use a command-line tool to test POST) and see if you have access. It doesn't look like this request gets past the HTTP access part, so the rest is probably not relevant yet.

Since you mention IIS you'll probably want to concentrate on the microsoft portions :)

Here is my copy/paste of my soap tips (I hate soap), SOAP::Lite is too much work, SOAP::Simple is less work (but its simple, when stuck go to XML::Compile::SOAP, more verbose, but you want verbose with SOAP ) ... its built on XML::Compile::SOAP/http://perl.overmeer.net/xml-compile/#doc , see my treasure trove of soap examples and lost knowledge,$soap->transport->add_handler("request_send", \&pp_dump );, http://cookbook.soaplite.com/, SOAP endpoint , Re^3: SOAP::Lite login setup, Re: I do not understand how to write a SOAP server., An XML Overview Towards Understanding SOAP, Re^3: SOAP::Lite and custom envelopes, The XML FIles: Understanding XML Namespaces, How to Call a .NET-based Web Service Using the SOAP::Lite Perl Library (2002 )

Thanks to both of you for your input. I wonder if SOAP::Lite is having trouble deconstructing this particular WSDL... The soapUI utility program has no problem.. hmmm... I think I will try a different approach. Will report back.
