Re: [Soaplite-devel] Why does value slot of SOM object not include attribute data?

[Jason S. <jas...@gm...>]

Hey,

I dug a bit deeper...

Maybe what I need to understand here is why the SOAP::SOM object that
is generated by the deserializer has the construct that is the
sub-elements without attributes as the value slot.

The struct has 7 slots:
0) qname
1) attr
2) child
3) chars
4) value
5) lname
6) lattr

The child slot is an accurate representation of the sub-tree with
attributes, but the value slot only has element data (names of
elements as keys, and the text of the elements as values).

So the whole issue is that the value slot does not include attribute
data. So this is not a bug as a design limitation.

I'm back at simply wanting to get at the XML payload of the Body tag.
And I'm wanting to set the xml payload of the body response tag
without a gross hack to keep it from being wrapped in a method tag by
the serializer.

Cheers, jas.
