Guy, Where is the code that encodes the method call into an xml document and decodes the xml document into a method call?

Perl's SOAP::Lite can deserialize beans. Example: A very simple bean class: // Temperature.java package test; public class Temperature { private double temp; public Temperature() { temp = 0d; } public double getTemperature() { return temp; } public void setTemperature(double temp) { this.temp = temp; } } And a class containing a method to return an instance: // TempServer.java package test; public class TempServer { public Temperature getTemp() { return new Temperature(); } } Deployed as "urn:Temp". Perl client: # demo.pl use SOAP::Lite; use Data::Dumper; # Connect to the service my $soap = SOAP::Lite -> uri('urn:Temp') -> proxy('http://myserver.com/soap/servlet/rpcrouter'); # Call the method my $result = $soap->getTemp(); # Check for error unless ($result->fault) { # Fetch the JavaBean data my $object = $result->result(); # Print the data contained in it print $$object{temperature}, "\n"; print Dumper($object); } else { die $result->faultstring; } If you use Data::Dumper to look at the $object you can see that it is an instance of test.Temperature, and it's a hash (all objects in Perl are) mapping the instance variable to a value. The output is: 0.0 $VAR1 = bless( { 'temperature' => '0.0' }, 'test.Temperature' ); So, really a trivial demo. --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
