[ome-devel] shoola login woes (again)

[kristian kvilekval]

Hoping to get shoola working with the new release,
I invested some time this morning looking over the
issues.

I am using the current CVS with shoola-2.4.0
and am seeing pretty much the same issues that I had
seen before.   Here is a summary of the actions
and I hope somebody can point me to a solution.

The basic problem is shoola starts, but reject every attempt
at logging in to the system with the message.  

"The username and/or password was incorrect. Please try again."

The web client is working.

System: debian unstable amd64 with java 1.5

perl SOAP::Lite 0.60

Problems:

1.   Missing HTTP::Request in src/perl2/OME/Remote/Apache/Transport.pm

[Fri Mar 11 16:10:00 2005] [error] Can't locate object method "new" via
package "HTTP::Request" (perhaps you forgot to load "HTTP::Request"?)
at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4/OME/Remote/Apache/Transport.pm line 45.\n

I added two statements 
	use HTTP::Request;
	use HTTP::Response;

After adding these statement however, I still get the error
which 

2.  option not set /usr/share/perl5/SOAP/Transport/HTTP.pm

In Apache logfile one finds:

[Fri Mar 11 16:33:11 2005] [error] Can't use an undefined value as a
HASH reference at /usr/share/perl5/SOAP/Transport/HTTP.pm line 268.\n

This error is occurring on the perl 
object SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Server;

>From the source I see (line 267,268)
  my $compressed = ($self->request->content_encoding || '') =~ /\b$COMPRESS\b/;
  $self->options->{is_compress} ||= $compressed && eval { require Compress::Zlib };

However, this is not much help in deciphering the root problem.

 ** Could someone verify that they are using 
    SOAP::Lite 0.60 with Shoola  and it works correctly?  ***

Thanks,
kris
