DESCRIPTION

This module understands WSDL version 1.1. An WSDL file defines a set of messages to be send and received over (SOAP) connections. This involves encoding of the message to be send into XML, sending the message to the server, collect the answer, and finally decoding the XML to Perl.

As end-user, you do not have to worry about the complex details of the messages and the way to exchange them: it's all simple Perl for you. Also, faults are handled automatically. The only complication you have to worry about is to shape a nested HASH structure to the sending message structure. XML::Compile::Schema::template() may help you.

When the definitions are spread over multiple files you will need to use addWSDL() (wsdl) or importDefinitions() (additional schema's) explicitly. Usually, interreferences between those files are broken. Often they reference over networks (you should never trust). So, on purpose you must explicitly load the files you need from local disk! (of course, it is simple to find one-liners as work-arounds, but I will to tell you how!)

Compilers

See documentation in base class.

$obj->addCompileOptions(['READERS'|'WRITERS'|'RW'], OPTIONS)

See "Compilers" in XML::Compile::Cache

$obj->call(OPNAME, DATA)

[2.20] Call the OPNAME (operation name) with DATA (HASH or LIST of parameters). This only works when you have called compileCalls() beforehand, always during the initiation phase of the program.

example:

# at initiation time (compile once)
$wsdl->compileCalls;

# at runtime (run often)
my $answer = $wsdl->call($operation, $request);

$obj->compile(('READER'|'WRITER'), TYPE, OPTIONS)

See "Compilers" in XML::Compile::Schema

$obj->compileAll(['READERS'|'WRITERS'|'RW'|'CALLS', [NAMESPACE]])

[2.20] With explicit CALLS or without any parameter, it will call compileCalls(). Otherwise, see XML::Compile::Cache::compileAll().

$obj->compileCall(OPERATION, OPTIONS)

[2.37] The call to the OPERATION object (which extends XML::Compile::SOAP::Operation) gets compiled and cached so it can be used with call().

example:

my $op = $wsdl->operation(name => 'getInfo');
$wsdl->compileCall($op);

# as often as you need it
my ($answer, $trace) = $wsdl->call('getInfo')->(%request);

$obj->compileCalls(OPTIONS)

[2.20] Compile a handler for each of the available operations. The OPTIONS are passed to each call of compileClient(), but will be overruled by more specific declared options.

Additionally, OPTIONS can contain service, port, and binding to limit the set of involved calls. See operations() for details on these options.

You may declare additional specific compilation options with the declare() method.

example:

my $trans = XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP
  ->new(timeout => 500, address => $wsdl->endPoint);
$wsdl->compileCalls(transport => $trans);

# alternatives for simple cases
$wsdl->compileAll('CALLS');
$wsdl->compileAll;

my $answer = $wsdl->call($myop, $request);

$obj->reader(TYPE|NAME, OPTIONS)

See "Compilers" in XML::Compile::Cache

$obj->template('XML'|'PERL'|'TREE', ELEMENT, OPTIONS)

See "Compilers" in XML::Compile::Schema

$obj->writer(TYPE|NAME)

See "Compilers" in XML::Compile::Cache

Extension

$obj->addWSDL(XMLDATA)

The XMLDATA must be acceptable to XML::Compile::dataToXML() and should represent the top-level of a (partial) WSDL document. The specification can be spread over multiple files, each of which must have a definition root element.

$obj->compileClient([NAME], OPTIONS)

Creates an XML::Compile::SOAP::Operation temporary object using operation(), and then calls compileClient() on that. This results in a code reference which will handle all client-server SOAP exchange.

The OPTIONS available include all of the options for:

• operation() (i.e. service and port), and all of

• XML::Compile::SOAP::Operation::compileClient() (there are many of these, for instance transport_hook and server)

You cannot pass options for XML::Compile::Schema::compile(), like <sloppy_integers = 0>>, hooks or typemaps this way. Use new(opts_rw) and friends to declare those.

When you use compileCall(), the compiled code references get cached for you. In that case, you can use call() to use them.

example:

my $call = $wsdl->compileClient
  ( operation => 'HelloWorld'
  , port      => 'PrefillSoap' # only required when multiple ports
  );
my ($answer, $trace) = $call->($request);

# 'operation' keyword optional
my $call = $wsdl->compileClient('HelloWorld');

$obj->namesFor(CLASS)

Returns the list of names available for a certain definition CLASS in the WSDL. See index() for a way to determine the available CLASS information.

$obj->operation([NAME], OPTIONS)

Collect all information for a certain operation. Returned is an XML::Compile::SOAP::Operation object.

An operation is defined by a service name, a port, some bindings, and an operation name, which can be specified explicitly and is often left-out: in the many configurations where there are no alternative choices. In case there are alternatives, you will be requested to pick an option.

-Option   --Default
 action     <undef>
 operation  <required>
 port       <only when just one port in WSDL>
 service    <only when just one service in WSDL>

action => STRING

Overrule the soapAction from the WSDL.

operation => NAME

Ignored when the parameter list starts with a NAME (which is an alternative for this option). Optional when there is only one operation defined within the portType.

port => NAME

Required when more than one port is defined.

service => QNAME|PREFIXED

Required when more than one service is defined.

Administration

See documentation in base class.

$obj->declare(GROUP, COMPONENT|ARRAY, OPTIONS)

Register specific compile OPTIONS for the specific COMPONENT. See also XML::Compile::Cache::declare(). The GROUP is either READER, WRITER, RW (both reader and writer), or OPERATION. As COMPONENT, you specify the element name (for readers and writers) or operation name (for operations). OPTIONS are specified as LIST, ARRAY or HASH.

example:

$wsdl->declare(OPERATION => 'GetStockPrice', @extra_opts);
$wsdl->compileCalls;
my $answer = $wsdl->call(GetStockPrice => %request);

Introspection

All of the following methods are usually NOT meant for end-users. End-users should stick to the operation() and compileClient() methods.

$obj->endPoint(OPTIONS)

[2.20] Returns the address of the server, as specified by the WSDL. When there are no alternatives for service or port, you not not need to specify those parameters.

-Option --Default
 port     <undef>
 service  <undef>

port => NAME

service => QNAME|PREFIXED

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

[2.13] Produce templates (see XML::Compile::Schema::template() which detail the use of the OPERATION. Currently, only the PERL template FORMAT is available.

The DIRECTION of operation is either INPUT (input for the server, hence to be produced by the client), or OUTPUT (from the server, received by the client).

The actual work is done by XML::Compile::SOAP::Operation::explain(). The OPTIONS passed to that method include recurse and skip_header.

example:

print $wsdl->explain('CheckStatus', PERL => 'INPUT');

print $wsdl->explain('CheckStatus', PERL => 'OUTPUT'
   , recurse => 1                 # explain options
   , port    => 'Soap12PortName'  # operation options
   );

$obj->findDef(CLASS, [QNAME|PREFIXED|NAME])

With a QNAME, the HASH which contains the parsed XML information from the WSDL template for that CLASS-NAME combination is returned. You may also have a PREFIXED name, using one of the predefined namespace abbreviations. Otherwise, NAME is considered to be the localName in that class. When the NAME is not found, an error is produced.

Without QNAME in SCALAR context, there may only be one such name defined otherwise an error is produced. In LIST context, all definitions in CLASS are returned.

example:

$service  = $obj->findDef(service => 'http://xyz');
@services = $obj->findDef('service');

$obj->index([CLASS, [QNAME]])

With a CLASS and QNAME, it returns one WSDL definition HASH or undef. Returns the index for the CLASS group of names as HASH. When no CLASS is specified, a HASH of HASHes is returned with the CLASSes on the top-level.

CLASS includes service, binding, portType, and message.

$obj->operations(OPTIONS)

Return a list with all operations defined in the WSDL.

-Option --Default
 binding  <undef>
 port     <undef>
 service  <undef>

binding => NAME

Only return operations which use the binding with the specified NAME. By default, all bindings are accepted.

port => NAME

Return only operations related to the specified port NAME. By default operations from all ports.

service => NAME

Only return operations related to the NAMEd service, by default all services.

$obj->printIndex([FILEHANDLE], OPTIONS)

For available OPTIONS, see operations(). This method is useful to understand the structure of your WSDL: it shows a nested list of services, bindings, ports and portTypes.

-Option       --Defined in         --Default
 show_declared  XML::Compile::Cache  <true>

show_declared => BOOLEAN

Initializing SOAP operations via WSDL

When you have a WSDL file, then SOAP is simple. If there is no such file at hand, then it is still possible to use SOAP. See the DETAILS chapter in XML::Compile::SOAP.

The WSDL file contains operations which can be addressed by name. In the WSDL file you need to find the name of the port to be used. In most cases, the WSDL has only one service, one port, one binding, and one portType and those names can therefore be omitted. If there is a choice, then you must explicitly select one.

use XML::Compile::WSDL11 ();

# once in your program
my $wsdl   = XML::Compile::WSDL11->new('def.wsdl');

# XML::Compile::Schema refuses to follow "include" and
# "import" commands, so you need to invoke them explicitly.
# $wsdl->addWSDL('file2.wsdl');            # optional
# $wsdl->importDefinitions('schema1.xsd'); # optional

# once for each of the defined operations
my $call   = $wsdl->compileClient('GetStockPrice');

# see XML::Compile::SOAP chapter DETAILS about call params
my $answer = $call->(%request);
