NAME

XML::Compile::WSDL11::Operation - defines a possible SOAP interaction

INHERITANCE

SYNOPSIS

# created by XML::Compile::WSDL11

DESCRIPTION

These objects are created by XML::Compile::WSDL11, grouping information about a certain specific message interchange between a client and a server. You can better (try to) create a WSDL file itself, then attempt to instantiate these objects yourself... or even better: use XML::Compile::SOAP11 directly, and forget WSDL complexity.

There are three styles of SOAP: Document-style, RPC-literal and RPC-encoded. The first can be used directly, for the SOAP-RPC will require you to specify more information about the expected message types.

METHODS

Constructors

$obj->new(OPTIONS)

    The OPTIONS are all collected from the WSDL description by XML::Compile::WSDL subroutine operation. End-users should not attempt to initiate this object directly.

    Option  --Default
action    <from wsdl>
bind_op   undef
binding   <required>
name      <required>
port      <required>
portType  <required>
port_op   <required>
protocol  'HTTP'
service   <required>
style     <from wsdl operation style> | 'document'
wsdl      <required>

    . action => URI

    . bind_op => HASH

    . binding => HASH

    . name => STRING

    . port => HASH

    . portType => HASH

    . port_op => HASH

    . protocol => 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.

    . service => HASH

    . style => 'document'|'rpc'

    . wsdl => XML::Compile::WSDL11 object

Accessors

$obj->bindOperation

$obj->bindings

$obj->name

$obj->port

$obj->portOperation

$obj->portType

$obj->schemas

$obj->service

$obj->wsdl

Use

$obj->endPointAddresses

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

$obj->kind

    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.

$obj->soapAction

$obj->soapNameSpace

$obj->soapVersion

Handlers

$obj->compileClient(OPTIONS)

    Returns one CODE reference which handles the processing for this operation.

    You pass that CODE reference an input message of the correct type, as pure Perl HASH structure. An 'request-response' operation will return then answer, or undef in case of failure. An 'one-way' operation with return undef in case of failure, and a true value when successfull.

    Option        --Default
protocol        new(protocol)|<from soapAction>
rpcin           undef
rpcout          undef
style           new(style)|'document'
transport_hook  undef
transporter     <created>

    . protocol => URI|'HTTP'

      Only the HTTP protocol is supported on the moment. The URI is the WSDL URI representation of the HTTP protocol.

    . rpcin => TYPE|CODE

    . rpcout => TYPE|CODE

    . style => 'document'|'rpc'

    . transport_hook => CODE

    . transporter => XML::Compile::Transport object

      Usually an XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP object, which is used to exchange the data with the server. 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.

$obj->prepareServer(OPTIONS)

    Prepare the routines which will decode the request and encode the answer, as will be run on the server. The XML::Compile::SOAP::Server will connect these.

    Returned is a LIST of three: the soapAction string, the request decoder CODE reference, and the answer encoder CODE reference.

    Option--Default
soap    <required>

    . soap => XML::Compile::SOAP object

Helpers

$obj->canTransport(PROTOCOL, STYLE)

    Returns a true value when the pair with URI of the PROTOCOL and processing style (either document (default) or rpc) is provided as soap binding. If the style was not specified explicitly with new(style), it will be looked-up. The style is returned as trueth value.

$obj->collectFaultParts(ARGS, PORT-OP, BIND-OP)

$obj->collectMessageParts(ARGS, PORT-OP, BIND-OP)

    Collect the components of the message which are actually being used.

$obj->compileMessages(ARGS, 'CLIENT'|'SERVER', SOAP)

$obj->messageSelectParts(MESSAGE, [NAMES])

    Collect the named message parts. If no names are specified, then all are all returned.
