I've written a very simple Delphi 2006 SOAP server, and I can consume it
with a Delphi client.

However I am having great difficulty getting a perl SOAP::Lite client to
consume the service.

My investigation so far:
Perl is generating a SOAP call where the <soap:Envelope> tag has an
attribute of:
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"
Delphi is recieving the call, but at line 262 of OPToSOAPDomConv.pas, it
raises an invalid request exception, because of the condition:
EnvNode.NamespaceURI <> SSoapNameSpace
where:
SSoapNameSpace = 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/';

If anyone has a sample, or a summary of the tricks required, I would be most
grateful

Hello Trevor,

These two namespaces serve different purposes. I've ran test with SOAP::Lite
WebServices in the past (via the SOAPBuilders setup) and the packets
generated between Delphi and SOAP::Lite were as per the specification.
Delphi and may other vendors dropped out of SOAPBuilders as interoperability
moved to WS-I but you can still see SOAP::Lite results on my sites - such
as:

http://ksoap.objectweb.org/software/documentation/round-2-base/err_soap_lite.html#echostring_xsd-2001
http://easysoap.sourceforge.net/interop/interop2a.html
http://www.whitemesa.com/interop/results/b/results.htm
and
http://www.mssoapinterop.org/stk/ClientResults.asp

Most of these sites will also show what the XML packet of a request/response
should look like - with the proper namespace/etc.

I can't find the client results of SOAP::Lite. I suspect that maybe, like
Delphi, they no longer run the SOAPBuilders interoperability tests. In
2001/2002 SOAP::Lite was definitely part of the test matrix. I still have
HTML logs of tests ran back then against SOAP::Lite and other SOAP vendors.

I'd be happy to take a peek at the XML packet generated by the client and
assess if there's something we're not processing correctly. But based on
your post it seems that there's a mixup between the service's endpoint and
WSDL.

Cheers,

Bruneau.
