Web Service URI

Question

Greetings:
I wrote my first web service, and deployed it to OAS 10.1.3, it seems to be working. I can access the web service via the sample page. My question is, how do i call it from perl (which is the point of the whole exersize). I installed SOAP::Lite and followed the directions but it doesn't seem to make contact. What I think i am screwing up is the URI part. How can i find out what the correct URI is for my web service?
Here is the code I tried using:
use SOAP::Lite;
my $proxy = 'http://addison.its-is.uni.edu/SampleWebService-SWS-context-root/GetDateWSSoapHttpPort';
print "\n\nCalling the SOAP Server to say hello\n\n";
print "The SOAP Server says: ";
print SOAP::Lite
-> uri('http://sws/')
-> proxy($proxy)
-> getDate()
-> result . "\n\n";
I just guessed on what the URI should be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
not sure how Perl accesses Web Services. In Java you would build a proxy pointing to the WSDL file. To get the URI, open Enterprise Manager and look up the deployed web service. Click on the Web Service and select Testing WebService. From here you get to the URI. Make sure that you append "?WSDL" (at least this is what you do to generate a Java proxy in JDeveloper)
