Hi Jason, Im using Perl with Apach2-SOAP under mod_perl.
If you are sending objects back and forth then I dont see why I should be having problems. It must be a problem with my WSDL or Perl SOAP Response. Since flash decodes the response according to the WSDL file then it seems likely there is a problem with this bit. I have included the WSDL file and a copy of the request and response. Does the response look vastly different for an array of objects that you might expect to see on your working Flash/SOAP project? This is an example and triggers my problem and is as short as I could make it. ----- snip 8< ------ Request <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";> <SOAP-ENV:Body xmlns:ns1="http://ice.zerofiveone.com/Objecttest";> <ns1:getPeople SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";> <author xsi:type="xsd:int"></author> </ns1:getPeople> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> Response <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:namesp2="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <namesp6:getPeopleResponse xmlns:namesp6="http://ice.zerofiveone.com/Objecttest";> <SOAP-ENC:Array xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="namesp2:SOAPStruct[3]"> <item xsi:type="namesp2:SOAPStruct"> <name xsi:type="xsd:string">Tom</name> <age xsi:type="xsd:int">24</age> </item> <item xsi:type="namesp2:SOAPStruct"> <name xsi:type="xsd:string">Chris</name> <age xsi:type="xsd:int">26</age> </item> <item xsi:type="namesp2:SOAPStruct"> <name xsi:type="xsd:string">Andrew</name> <age xsi:type="xsd:int">56</age> </item> </SOAP-ENC:Array> </namesp6:getPeopleResponse> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> And finally the WSDL - I tried to keep this as short as possible for this example. <?xml version="1.0"?> <definitions xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; xmlns:si="http://soapinterop.org/xsd"; xmlns:tns="http://ice.zerofiveone.com/Objecttest"; xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"; xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"; xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"; targetNamespace="http://ice.zerofiveone.com/Objecttest";> <types> <xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://ice.zerofiveone.com/Objecttest";> <xsd:import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; /> <xsd:import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"; /> <xsd:complexType name="Person"> <xsd:all> <xsd:element name="name" type="xsd:string" /> <xsd:element name="age" type="xsd:string" /> </xsd:all> </xsd:complexType> <xsd:complexType name="PersonArray"> <xsd:complexContent> <xsd:restriction base="SOAP-ENC:Array"> <xsd:attribute ref="SOAP-ENC:arrayType" wsdl:arrayType="tns:Person[]" /> </xsd:restriction> </xsd:complexContent> </xsd:complexType> </xsd:schema> </types> <message name="getPeopleRequest"> <part name="author" type="xsd:int" /> </message> <message name="getPeopleResponse"> <part name="return" type="tns:PersonArray" /> </message> <portType name="ObjecttestPortType"> <operation name="getPeople"> <input message="tns:getPeopleRequest" /> <output message="tns:getPeopleResponse" /> </operation> </portType> <binding name="ObjecttestBinding" type="tns:ObjecttestPortType"> <soap:binding style="rpc" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"; /> <operation name="getPeople"> <soap:operation soapAction="http://ice.zerofiveone.com/Objecttest/getPeople"; style="rpc" /> <input> <soap:body use="encoded" namespace="http://ice.zerofiveone.com/Objecttest"; encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; /> </input> <output> <soap:body use="encoded" namespace="http://ice.zerofiveone.com/Objecttest"; encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; /> </output> </operation> </binding> <service name="Objecttest"> <port name="ObjecttestPort" binding="tns:ObjecttestBinding"> <soap:address location="http://ice.zerofiveone.com/Objecttest/soap"; /> </port> </service> </definitions> Id really apprecaite any help with this one.
