NAME

XML::Compile::SOAP11 - base class for SOAP1.1 implementation

INHERITANCE

XML::Compile::SOAP11
  is a XML::Compile::SOAP

XML::Compile::SOAP11 is extended by
  XML::Compile::SOAP11::Client
  XML::Compile::SOAP11::Server

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

This module handles the SOAP protocol version 1.1. See http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/NOTE-SOAP-20000508/). The implementation tries to behave like described in http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/BasicProfile-1.0.html

Two extensions are made: the SOAP11 client XML::Compile::SOAP11::Client. and server in XML::Compile::SOAP11::Server.

METHODS

Constructors

$obj->new(OPTIONS)

    To simplify the URIs of the actors, as specified with the destination option, you may use the STRING NEXT. It will be replaced by the right URI.

    envelope_ns  XML::Compile::SOAP  http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/
    media_type   XML::Compile::SOAP  application/soap+xml
    schemas      XML::Compile::SOAP  created internally

Receiving faults in SOAP1.1

When faults are received, they will be returned with the Faults key in the data structure. So:

my $answer = $call->($question);
if($answer->{Faults}) { ... }

As extra service, for each of the fault types, as defined with compileMessage(faults), a decoded structure is included. The name of that structure can be found like this:

if(my $faults = $answer->{Faults})
{   my $name    = $faults->{_NAME};
    my $decoded = $answer->{$name};
    ...
}

The untranslated $faults HASH looks like this:

Fault =>
  { faultcode => '{http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.first'
  , faultstring => 'my mistake'
  , faultactor => 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/actor/next'
  , detail => { '{http://test-types}fault_one' => [ XMLNODES ] }
  , _NAME => 'fault1'
  }

The _NAME originates from the compileMessage(faults) option:

$soap->compileMessage('RECEIVER', ...
  , faults => [ fault1 => '{http://test-types}fault_one' ] );

Now, automatically the answer will contain the decoded fault structure as well:

fault1 =>
  { code => '{http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.first'
  , class  => [ 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'
       , 'Receiver', 'first' ]
  , reason => 'my mistake',
  , role   => 'NEXT'
  , detail => { help => 'please ignore' }
  }

The detail is the decoding of the XMLNODES, which are defined to be of type {http://test-types}fault_one.

The class is an unpacked version of the code. SOAP1.2 is using the (better) terms Sender and Receiver.

role is constructed by decoding the faultactor using roleAbbreviation(). The names are closer to the SOAP1.2 specification.

If the received fault is of an unpredicted type, then key unknown is used, and the detail will list the unparsed XMLNODEs. When there are no details, (according to the specs) the error must be caused by a header problem, so the header key is used.
