webservice error

Posts: 4 · Posted: Mon Mar 16, 2009 2:01 pm

I'm using Perl code to query the SOAP webservice, which works fine for the functions that don't require arguments, but fails on the ones that do. Example code

Code:

#!perl -w

use SOAP::Lite;

my $service = SOAP::Lite
-> service('http://www.theworldsfastestserver.com/webservice/bikedata.cfc?wsdl');
$service->outputxml(1);

print $service->GetAccelForTripXML(114);

The error returned is:

org.xml.sax.SAXException: Deserializing parameter 'TripID': could not find deserializer for type {http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}anyType

Is this an error on your end or is there some sort of serialization requirement for sending the parameter(doesn't seem like there should be). A REST webservice would be a lot easier to use

Try this:

Code:

print $service->GetAccelForTripXML(SOAP::Data->name( 'TripID' => 114 ));

Hope that helps,

Doug

Did you add it as a webreference, or a regular one? Looking at the error, I suspect you just chose "Add Reference".

Use "Add Web Reference" and, assuming you set up your web service to be a script service (see quick starts at "learn" link above") you'll be able to access the methods there.
