NAME

XML::Compile::SOAP::HTTPDaemon - create SOAP over HTTP daemon

INHERITANCE

XML::Compile::SOAP::HTTPDaemon
  is a XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon

SYNOPSIS

# See XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon for an example, but even better:
# have a look at the example enclosed in the distribution package.

DESCRIPTION

This module handles the exchange of (XML) messages over HTTP, according to the rules of SOAP (any version).

This abstraction level of the object (code in this pm file) is not concerned with parsing or composing XML, but only worries about the HTTP transport specifics of SOAP messages. The creation and decoding of the messages is handled by various XML::Compile::SOAP components, based on XML::Compile::Cache and XML::Compile. The processing of the message is handled by the XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon base-class.

The server is as flexible as possible: accept M-POST (HTTP Extension Framework) and POST (standard HTTP) for any message. It can be used for any SOAP1.1 and SOAP1.2 mixture. Although SOAP1.2 itself is not implemented yet.

METHODS

Constructors

XML::Compile::SOAP::HTTPDaemon->new(OPTIONS)

Attributes

$obj->outputCharset

Running the server

$obj->process(CLIENT, XMLIN, REQUEST, ACTION)

$obj->run(OPTIONS)

Preparations

$obj->addHandler(NAME, SOAP, CODE)

$obj->operationsFromWSDL(WSDL, OPTIONS)

Handlers

$obj->makeResponse(REQUEST, RC, MSG, BODY)

$obj->runRequest(REQUEST, CONNECTION)

    Handle one REQUEST (HTTP::Request object), which was received from the CLIENT (string).

Helpers

$obj->actionFromHeader(REQUEST)

    Collect the soap action URI from the request, with undef on failure. Officially, the "SOAPAction" has no other purpose than the ability to route messages over HTTP: it should not be linked to the portname of the message (although it often can).

$obj->faultInvalidXML(ERROR)

$obj->faultNotSoapMessage(NODETYPE)

$obj->faultUnsupportedSoapVersion(ENV_NS)

$obj->handlers(('SOAP11'|'SOAP12'|SOAP))

$obj->printIndex([FILEHANDLE])

$obj->soapVersions

DETAILS

Configuration options

It depends on the type of Net::Server which you extend, which options are available to you on the command-line or in a configuration file. XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon adds and changes some parameters as well.

Any XML::Compile::SOAP::HTTPDaemon object will have the following additional configuration options:

Key             Value                            Default
client_timeout  integer seconds                  30
client_maxreq   integer                          100
client_reqbonus integer seconds                  0
name            string                           "soap daemon"

For each client, we like to have a reset of the connection after some time, for two reasons: perl processes are usually leaking memory a bit so should not live for ever, and you can experience denial of service attacks. The client_timeout value details the number of seconds a connection may live, but that will be increase by client_reqbonus for every received message. In any case, after client_maxreq messages were handled, the connection will be terminated.

The name is included in the reply messages.
