Hello,
 
I've been working with the CUCM Admin XML using Perl with SOAP::Lite and have gotten fairly familiar with the it but recently received a request to gather registration status for the devices in the cluster and now I'm looking toward hopefully gathering the data from RIS.  I have a basic script to request the registration but it's failing with "SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize."  While I'm still searching the net to decode what this could mean in my situation (and checking traces), I thought I'd post here to see if anyone has some suggestions for a noob.  The CUCM version is 8.5.1.  Here's a look at the message and response from the CUCM:
 
Message:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

 
Response:
soapenv:Server.userException, org.xml.sax.SAXException: SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize.
 
Thanks,

David,

Thanks for the info, much appreciated! I ended up giving LWP a shot instead of SOAP Lite and was able to get it working. Sometimes SOAP Lite can be a little too abstract for me and so I wasn't able to mold the request just right.

Thanks again,

Marty
