Thanks for your idea.
I use SOAP::Deserializer only because it is a natural part of processing SOAP responses.
Trying again with another deserializer like this:
my $soap = SOAP::Lite
->uri($uri)->proxy( $proxyUrl, timeout => 5 )
->deserializer(XMLRPC::Lite->new());
I end up with the error message from XMLRPC::Lite
"A service address has not been specified either by using SOAP::Lite->proxy() or a service description)" although there is a proxy. I can watch the request and the response on the wire.
So my last chance seems to be overloading deserialize() with a custom deserializer
my $soap = SOAP::Lite
->uri($uri)->proxy( $proxyUrl, timeout => 5 )
->deserializer(Deserialize->new());
package Deserialize;
use warnings;
use strict;
use SOAP::Lite;
use vars qw(@ISA);
@ISA = ('SOAP::Deserializer');
sub deserialize { return $_[1] }
1;
Cheers, Axel.
