How to use SOAP :: Lite with WCF?

I'm just trying to get started with WCF. It seems like it's super simple, but using a simple API like SOAP :: Lite, I'm having trouble working. There are many dated examples in googlesphere, and I tried many of them to no avail. So now I am trying to break the problem to the lowest level. I created a WCF application created by the Visual Web Developer 2008 Express template. This is his service contract:

[ServiceContract] public interface IService1 { [OperationContract] string GetData(int value); [OperationContract] CompositeType GetDataUsingDataContract(CompositeType composite); // TODO: Add your service operations here } // Use a data contract as illustrated in the sample below to add composite types to service operations. [DataContract] public class CompositeType { bool boolValue = true; string stringValue = "Hello "; [DataMember] public bool BoolValue { get { return boolValue; } set { boolValue = value; } } [DataMember] public string StringValue { get { return stringValue; } set { stringValue = value; } } }

I started it in debug mode and tried to establish contact. Doing this using a browser using the debug url http://localhost:59315/Service1.svc gives me a page that says the following:

You have created a service.
To test this service, you need to create a client and use it to call the service. You can do this using the svcutil.exe tool from the command line with the following syntax:
svcutil.exe http://localhost:59315/Service1.svc?wsdl

So then I go to this wsdl and get the following:

Nothing too crazy (except for SOAP itself) ... Anyway, now I will try a simple SOAP :: Lite application:

 #!/cygdrive/C/Perl64/bin/perl.exe -w use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; use SOAP::Lite +trace => [ transport => sub { my ($in) = @_; if ( ref($in) eq "HTTP::Request") { print( "REQUEST\n" . $in->content() . "\nEND REQUEST\n" ); } elsif ( ref($in) eq "HTTP::Response") { print( "RESPONSE\n" . $in->content() . "\nEND RESPONSE\n" ); } } ]; my $server = 'http://localhost:59315/Service1.svc'; my $url = "$server?wsdl"; my $xmlns = 'http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/RossDominosService'; # Setup Network Connection my $service = SOAP::Lite ->ns( $url ) ->proxy( $server ) ->on_fault( sub { my ($soap, $res) = @_; die ref $res ? $res->faultstring() : $soap->transport()->status(), "\n"; } ); ; print( Dumper( $service ) ); eval { print( "making request\n" ); my $response = $service->GetData( SOAP::Data->new( name => 'value', value => 5 ) ); print( "got response:\n$response\n" ); }; if ( $@ ) { print( "failed:\n**************************\ n$@ \n*****************************\n" ); }

Which of the debugging issues this SOAP request:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <soap:Envelope xmlns:namesp1="http://localhost:59315/Service1.svc?wsdl" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <soap:Body> <namesp1:GetData> <value xsi:type="xsd:int">5</value> </namesp1:GetData> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope>

But the answer is returned with:

 failed: ************************** 415 Unsupported Media Type *****************************

What's happening? This is "Hello world!" SOAP applications, and I can't figure it out.

----------------------- UPDATE -------------------- ------ -----

I found that I need to change the default wsHttpBinding to:

  <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="RossDominosService.IService1">

Now it connects, but I get this new error:

 <s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <s:Body> <s:Fault> <faultcode xmlns:a="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ws/2005/05/addressing/none">a:ActionNotSupported</faultcode> <faultstring xml:lang="en-US">The message with Action 'http://tempuri.org/GetData' cannot be processed at the receiver, due to a ContractFilter mismatch at the EndpointDispatcher. This may be because of either a contract mismatch (mismatched Actions between sender and receiver) or a binding/security mismatch between the sender and the receiver. Check that sender and receiver have the same contract and the same binding (including security requirements, eg Message, Transport, None).</faultstring> </s:Fault> </s:Body> </s:Envelope>

It doesn't seem like it was that hard ...

----------------------- UPDATE -------------------- ------ -----

Got! After some additional intervention and some help from soapUI, I found out that the action needs to be changed so that it:

 <namespace>/<serviceContract>/<method>

in this case:

 http://tempuri.org/IService1/GetData

When using SOAP :: Lite SOAPAction by default

 <namespace>#<method>

So you should change your soap object like this:

 $soap->on_action( sub { sprintf( '%sIService1/%s', @_ ) } );

I will write the answer below so that we can close this question ...

This is how I ended up working with the WCF web service and working with the perl SOAP :: Lite client. Please note that I am using Visual Web Developer Express 2008 and perl 5.14 with SOAP :: Lite 0.715.

Open Visual Web Developer
File → New Project ...
- Visual C # -> Web
- WCF Service Application
- Name: WcfService1
- Location:
- Solution: New Solution
- Solution Name:
Open Web.config
- change <compilation debug="false"> to <compilation debug="true">
- change <endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="WcfService1.IService1"> to <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="WcfService1.IService1">
Open Service1.svc.cs
- press f5 (to start debugging)

Now a browser window opens, open on your service page. Pay attention to the port in the URL, you will need it for the client. Then create this script:

 #!/cygdrive/C/Perl64/bin/perl.exe -w use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; use SOAP::Lite +trace => [ transport => sub { my ($in) = @_; if ( ref($in) eq "HTTP::Request") { print( "**** REQUEST ****\n" . $in->content() . "\n**** END REQUEST ****\n" ); } elsif ( ref($in) eq "HTTP::Response") { print( "**** RESPONSE ****\n" . $in->content() . "\n**** END RESPONSE ****\n" ); } } ]; my $port = 63181; my $server = "http://localhost:$port/Service1.svc"; my $namespace = 'http://tempuri.org/'; # Setup Network Connection my $service = SOAP::Lite ->ns( $namespace, 'my' ) ->proxy( $server ) ->on_action( sub { my $action = sprintf( '%sIService1/%s', @_ ); print( "action: '$action'\n" ); return $action; } ); print( Dumper( $service ) ); eval { print( "making request\n" ); my $response = $service->GetData( SOAP::Data->new( prefix => 'my', name => 'value', value => 5 ) ); print( "got response:\n$response\n" ); }; if ( $@ ) { print( "failed:\n**************************\ n$@ \n*****************************\n" ); }

You will need to change the port number according to your port number. In addition, I left a bunch of debugging code so you can see what is happening.

I hope this helps someone else.
