SOAP::Lite XML hash

[daChf]

I'm attempting to write an application using SOAP::Lite that receives XML code from a WebService. The XML code should look like the following:

<Message MessageID="12345" PageNumber="1" PageCount="1" MinRecord="1" MaxRecord="123">
  <Deliveries>
    <Delivery Attempts="1" CallCreditsUsed="1.00">
      <DeliveryStatus>Delivered to person</DeliveryStatus>
      <PhoneNumber>123-456-7890</PhoneNumber>
      <Name>John Smith</Name>
      <Delivered>02/06-2008 4:19 PM</Delivered>
      <TimeZone>CT</TimeZone>
    </Delivery>
  </Deliveries>
</Message>

What I'm getting is something similar to HASH(0x31a2484) . How can I access this data or even convert this into a string?

Thanks in advance.

Well, for us to better help you, we are going to have to see your code. Can you please share it here and someone will hopefully have some fairly useful input for you.

my $returned = $server
  ->call(SOAP::Data->name('RetrieveMessageReportDetails')->attr({xmlns => 'https://www.onecallnow.com/WebService/'}) =>
   SOAP::Data->name('LoginToken')->value($loginToken)->type('s:string'),
   SOAP::Data->name('MessageID')->value($messageID)->type('s:int'),
   SOAP::Data->name('PageNumber')->value($pageNumber)->type('s:int')
  );

my $xml = $returned->result;

print "$xml\n";

This displays the HASH.

print "$xml\n";

This displays the HASH.

You could use something like the following code to get at the data:

...
@items = $xml->valueof('//Message/Deliveries/Delivery');

foreach my $item (@items) {
  print "Delivery to: $item->{'DeliveryName']";
  print "Delivery Status is: $item->{'DeliveryStatus']";
};
...

I might be a little off in the 'valueof' statement, based on your XML. But, it worked for me using SOAP::LIte. If you would like to exchange some scripts, let me know. I've got a few that use SOAP::Lite with Perl. I can also give you the result XML, so you know what the script is getting at.

Good luck!

Thanks for the reply.

However, when I tried it it said that it couldn't call method "valueof" on an unblessed reference. Does this mean that I have to create some sort of object class?
