∟Perl SOAP::Lite for NumberToWords SOAP 1.1 Web Service

This chapter provides tutorial examples and notes on calling NumberToWords SOAP 1.1 Web service using SOAP::Lite. Topics include creating SOAP::Lite client object; calling SOAP Web service as a function; using SOAP::Data to control request parameter name; setting namespace; turning on trace for debugging output.

NumberToWords Failed - Unexpected Parameter "c-gensym3"

NumberToWords Failed - Invalid namespace ""

NumberToWords Worked - Setting Namespace and Parameter

Takeaways:

By default, SOAP::Lite names parameter elements as c-gensym* in the remote method call. This is not good for some Web service providers, because they expect specific parameter names. You need to use the SOAP::Data class to build parameters in your own way.
By default, SOAP::Lite is not specifying any namespace for the Web service function name and parameter. If the Web service server is requiring a specific namespace, you need to use the $client->default_ns() and $parameter->uri() functions to set the required namespace.
Thanks to dataaccess.com for providing the NumberToWords Web service.
By default, SOAP::Lite is using SOAP 1.1 standard. See next chapter for SOAP 1.2 tutorials.
