Making SOAP call using Perl's SOAP::Lite and a WSDL file

I want to make a SOAP call to a local web service. The web service is defined via a WSDL file (see below). I want to use Perl and SOAP::Lite. I tried this:

use strict ;
use warnings ;

use SOAP::Lite ;

my $endpoint = qq{http://example.com:2222/orawsv/PS_API/ACCOUNT_WS} ;
my $tns = 'http://xmlns.oracle.com/orawsv/PS_API/ACCOUNT_WS' ;

my $method_urn = $tns ;
my $soapaction = $tns ;
my $method = 'GET_BY_ACCOUNT_NUMBER' ;

my $sObj = SOAP::Lite->new(uri => $soapaction, proxy => $endpoint) ;

my $response = $sObj->call(SOAP::Data->name($method)->attr({ 'xmlns' => $method_urn})
            => SOAP::Data->name('ACCOUNT_NUMBER-VARCHAR2-IN' => '274724')) ;

print $response->faultstring() . "\n";

However, this results in an XML parsing failed error message. What would be the correct SOAP::Lite code to make this method call?

The HTTP request generated by the above is

Accept: text/xml
Accept: multipart/*
Accept: application/soap
Content-Length: 553
Content-Type: t开发者_JAVA技巧ext/xml; charset=utf-8
SOAPAction: "http://xmlns.oracle.com/orawsv/PS_API/ACCOUNT_WS#GET_BY_ACCOUNT_NUMBER"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Body>
    <GET_BY_ACCOUNT_NUMBER xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/orawsv/PS_API/ACCOUNT_WS">
      <ACCOUNT_NUMBER-VARCHAR2-IN xsi:type="xsd:int">274724</ACCOUNT_NUMBER-VARCHAR2-IN>
    </GET_BY_ACCOUNT_NUMBER>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Here is the WSDL file defining the web service:

Since you have the WSDL, you shouldn't have to construct SOAP::Data objects at all. Simply load the WSDL into your client object and call the method directly:

my $client = SOAP::WSDL->new(wsdl => $url_of_wsdl);
my $result = $client->$method(@arguments);

Yes, it's that easy!

Looks like this is about a year old, so this might not be relevant any longer. Anyway, based on the soap::lite documentation on CPAN it looks like you want to do this:

my $response = $sObj->call(SOAP::Data->name($method)->attr({ 'xmlns' => $method_urn}),
    SOAP::Data->name('parameters')->value(SOAP::Data->value([
        SOAP::Data->name('ACCOUNT_NUMBER-VARCHAR2-IN' => '274724'),
    ]))
);

die $response->fault->{ faultstring } if ($response->fault);
print $response->result, "\n";
