I've continued to work on this, but have been unable to progress past
this point. mod_perl seems to work just fine on both systems, except
when it comes to SOAP, in which case I'm getting exactly the same errors
on both systems. I must be doing SOMETHING wrong, but danged if I can
spot it. While I'm familiar with Perl, I am less familiar with SOAP and
mod_perl. I've doublechecked the httpd.conf entries and I believe they
are correct. The Demo.pm file is too simple to have an error (famous
last words), so now I've concerntrating on the client code, which is the
part I understand the least.
In particular, I'm confused about the value passed to uri(). I'm using
http://my server/Demo, where Demo is the name of the module I want
to call, and Demo.pm is in the PATH. That, and http://localhost/Demo;
both work in my CGI-based SOAP experiments, but neither works with
mod_perl. Is this an area where mod_perl and CGI differ?
Thanks for any clues anyone can provide.

Hi,
Are you by chance communicating with a Windows server? I had problems
communicating using SOAP with a Windows server, though I was able to
communicate with other public services (see below for example code for
ones I could get to work). I was given the following article which
enabled me to finally get it to work:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsoap/html/soapliteperl.asp
The issue was with two things. One, I had to do something to on_action
as noted below. The article has a different solution. Two, the Windows
server did not like the XML that SOAP::Lite produced. Specifically, it
was the data that the Windows server could not read. SOAP::Lite produced
XML that added a namespX: at the front of the data tag, e.g.
namesp2:SOMENAME DATANAME xsi:type=xsd:stringdata/DATANAME
while the Windows server expected:
DATANAME xsi:type=xsd:stringdata/DATANAME
Strangely enough, I can't re-create what was going wrong right now so
what you see above is partially from memory.
I implemented the suggestions in the above article and it started working.
Example of other services that I got to work, no problem:
use SOAP::Lite +trace =
[qw(transport debug)],
on_action = sub {sprintf '%s/%s', @_};
my $response;
my $s = SOAP::Lite
- uri('/examples')
- on_action(sub { sprintf '%s', shift })
- proxy('http://superhonker.userland.com/')
;
print '\n\n State '.$s-getStateName(SOAP::Data-name(statenum =
25))-result ;
$s = SOAP::Lite
- uri('urn:xmethods-CurrencyExchange')
- proxy('http://services.xmethods.net/soap');
$response = $s-getRate(SOAP::Data-name(country1 = 'England'),
SOAP::Data-name(country2 = 'Japan'))
-result;
print 'Currency rate for England/Japan is ', $response;
Take care,
Kurt
