NAME

XML::Compile::Operation - base-class for possible interactions

INHERITANCE

XML::Compile::Operation is extended by
  XML::Compile::SOAP11::Operation
  XML::Compile::SOAP12::Operation

SYNOPSIS

# created by XML::Compile::WSDL11
my $op = $wsdl->operation('GetStockPrices');

DESCRIPTION

These objects are created by XML::Compile::WSDL11, grouping information about a certain specific message interchange between a client and a server.

METHODS

Constructors

XML::Compile::Operation->new(OPTIONS)

    Option   --Default
action     undef
endpoints  []
kin        <required>
nam        <required>
schemas    <required>
transport  'HTTP'

    . action => STRING

      Some string which is refering to the action which is taken. For SOAP protocols, this defines the soapAction header.

    . endpoints => ADDRESS|ARRAY

      Where to contact the server.

    . kin => d

      This returns the type of operation this is. There are four kinds, which are returned as strings one-way, request-response, sollicit-response, and notification. The latter two are initiated by a server, the former two by a client.

    . nam => e

    . schemas => XML::Compile::Cache

    . transport => URI|'HTTP'

      HTTP is short for http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http/, which is a constant to indicate that transport should use the HyperText Transfer Protocol.

Accessors

$obj->action

$obj->bindingName

$obj->clientClass

    Returns the class name which implements the Client side for this protocol.

$obj->endPoints

    Returns the list of alternative URLs for the end-point, which should be defined within the service's port declaration.

$obj->kind

$obj->name

$obj->portName

$obj->schemas

$obj->serverClass

    Returns the class name which implements the Server side for this protocol.

$obj->serviceName

$obj->version

Handlers

$obj->compileClient(OPTIONS)

    Returns one CODE reference which handles the conversion from a perl data-structure into a request message, the transmission of the request, the receipt of the answer, and the decoding of that answer into a Perl data-structure.

$obj->compileHandler(OPTIONS)

    Returns a code reference which translates in incoming XML message into Perl a data-structure, then calls the callback. The result of the callback is encoded from Perl into XML and returned.

    Option  --Default
callback  <required>

    . callback => CODE

$obj->compileTransporter(OPTIONS)

    Create the transporter code for a certain specific target.

    Option        --Default
endpoint        <from WSDL>
server          undef
transport_hook  undef
transporter     <created>

    . endpoint => URI|ARRAY-of-URI

      Overrule the destination address(es).

    . server => URI-HOST

      Overrule only the server part in the endpoint, not the whole endpoint. This could be a string like username:password@myhost:4711. Only used when no explicit endpoint is provided.

    . transport_hook => CODE

    . transporter => CODE

      The routine which will be used to exchange the data with the server. This code is created by an XML::Compile::Transport::compileClient() extension. By default, a transporter compatible to the protocol is created. However, in most cases you want to reuse one (HTTP1.1) connection to a server.

Helpers

$obj->explain(WSDL, FORMAT, DIRECTION, OPTIONS)

    Dump an annotated structure showing how the operation works, helping developers to understand the schema. FORMAT is PERL or XML.

    The DIRECTION is INPUT, it will return the message which the client sends to the server (input for the server). The OUTPUT message is sent as response by the server.

XML::Compile::Operation->register(URI, ENVNS)

    Declare an operation type, but WSDL specific URI and envelope namespace.
