NAME

SOAPjr - SOAP without the bloat and JR (JSON-RPC) with proper error handling and file uploads

VERSION

Version 1.1.4

SYNOPSIS

Overview
--------
1. Receive request message
2. Validate request message
3. Process request message
4. Create response message
5. Configure response message
6. Send response message 

# The assumption is that this module will be used from within a perl script (or an apache request handler)
# - use in the module
use SOAPjr;

# - create the SOAPjr server object
# NOTE: This is the equivalent of jquery on the client side and may be created in the apache perl_startup.pl script so it's persistent
my $server = SOAPjr->new($options);

# 1. Receive request message
# - your perl script is called either directly or as a handler
# e.g. /SOAPjr.pl

# 2. Validate request message
# - create the inbound request object for this request
my $request = $server->create_request($query_params_hashref, \%ENV);

# - set any settings for this inbound request object
$request->set({ OPTIONS => { "..." => "..." } });

# 3. Process request message
# This is where your development implementation happens
# - process the request however you need to
# ...

# 4. Create response message
# - then when you're ready you create a response object
my $response = $self->create_response({ ENVELOPE => { "option1" => "XXX" } });

# 5. Configure response message
# - then set any of the response values
$response->set({ HEAD => { "option1" => "DDD" }, BODY => { "option1" => "LLL" } });

# 6. Add any errors you need to
# - if your processing of $request creates any errors then just add them with $response->add_error()
# e.g. 
# $s = $r->add_error({
#     context => "HEAD",
#     property => "sid",
#         error => {
#         code => 401,
#         message => "Invalid session ID"
#     }
# });
# NOTE: $s (e.g. the return of add_error()) is a serialised_string of the current object after the error is added

# 7. Send response message 
# - then when you're done you send back your response
my $send_result = $response->send({ HEAD => { "option1" => "DDD" }, BODY => { "option1" => "LLL" } });
# or you can just get a serialised string of the object at any time using $response->output();
