Hi All, I have a web service developed in perl-cgi using apache as web server. this web service is consumed with a manually generated wsdl file. the soap envelope that i receive when i tested it with one of the functions from web service contains c-gensym symbol in client request and s-gensym symbol in server response. i am stuck at this point and dont know what this symbol means and how to get over it. I tried with some things but no success yet.i am a new bee to perl as well as wsdl concept. one more thing if i modify the wsdl type element i.e the parameter of the method with s-gensym{\d} received in soap envelope the web service executed fine.but this wont be a solution i guess. can anyone help me out what i moght be doing wrong in wsdl file or in web service? your quick response would be highly appreciated as i already have consumed a lot of time on this. thanks in advance.
