It's designed to be REALLY simple to use. =head1 SYNOPSIS See SOAP::XML::Client::DotNet or SOAP::XML::Client::Generic for usage example. If you are creating a child class you just need to impliment the actual _call() - see pod below. =head1 methods =head2 new() my $soap_client = SOAP::XML::Client::DotNet->new({ uri => 'http://www.yourdomain.com/services', proxy => 'http://www.yourproxy.com/services/services.asmx', xmlns => 'http://www.yourdomain.com/services', soapversion => '1.1', # defaults to 1.1 timeout => '30', # detauls to 30 seconds strip_default_xmlns => 1, # defaults to 1 }); This constructor requires uri, proxy and xmlns to be supplied, otherwise it will croak. strip_default_xmlns is used to remove xmlns="http://.../" from returned XML, it will NOT alter xmlns:FOO="http//.../" set to '0' if you do not wish for this to happen. If you pass an encoding option then the SOAP message will be flagged as that encoding (this defaults to UTF8): ... encoding => 'iso-8859-1', ... To stop SOAP::Lite being overly keen to encode values as Base64, pass in disable_base64: ... disable_base64 => 1, ... =head2 fetch() # Generate the required XML, this is the bit after the Method XML element # in the services.asmx descriptor for this method (see SOAP::XML::Client::DotNet SYNOPSIS). my $user_id = '900109'; my $xml = "$user_id"; if($soap_client->fetch({ method => 'GetActivity', xml => $xml }) { # Get result as a string my $xml_string = $soap_client->result(); # Get result as a XML::LibXML object my $xml_libxml_object = $soap_client->result_xml(); } else { # There was some sort of error print $soap_client->error() . "\n"; } This method actually calls the web service, it takes a method name and an xml string. If there is a problem with either the XML or the SOAP transport (e.g. web server error/could not connect etc) undef will be returned and the error() will be set. Each node in the XML supplied (either by string or from a filename) needs to have _value_type defined or the submitted format will default to 'string'. You can supply 'filename' rather than 'xml' and it will read in from the file. We check for Fault/faultstring in the returned XML, anything else you'll need to check for yourself. =head2 error() $soap_client->error(); If fetch returns undef then check this method, it will either be that the filename you supplied couldn't be read, the XML you supplied was not correctly formatted (XML::LibXML could not parse it), there was a transport error with the web service or Fault/faultstring was found in the XML returned. =head2 results(); my $results = $soap_client->results(); Can be called after fetch() to get the raw XML, if fetch was sucessful. =head2 results_xml(); my $results_as_xml = $soap_client->results_xml(); Can be called after fetch() to get the XML::LibXML Document element of the returned xml, as long as fetch was sucessful. =head1 HOW TO DEBUG At the top of your script, before 'use SOAP::XML::Client::' add: use SOAP::Lite ( +trace => 'all', readable => 1, outputxml => 1, ); It may or may not help, not all web services give you many helpful error messages! At least you can see what's being submitted and returned. It can be the smallest thing that causes a problem, mis-typed data (see _value_type in xml), or typo in xmlns line. If the type of module (e.g. SOAP::XML::Client::DotNet) doesn't work, switch to one of the other ones and see if that helps. =head2 _call() This should be implimented by the child class package SOAP::XML::Client::; use base qw(SOAP::XML::Client); sub _call { my ($self,$method) = @_; # Impliment it! - below is the code from SOAP::XML::Client::DotNet # This code is the .NET specific way of calling SOAP, # it might work for other stuff as well my $soap_action = sub {return $self->uri() . '/' . $method}; my $caller = $self->{soap} ->uri($self->uri()) ->proxy($self->proxy(), timeout => $self->timeout()) ->on_action( $soap_action ); $caller->soapversion($self->soapversion()); # Create a SOAP::Data node for the method name my $method_name = SOAP::Data->name($method)->attr({'xmlns' => $self->xmlns()}); # Execute the SOAP Request and get the resulting XML my $res = $caller->call( $method_name => $self->{sdb}->to_soap_data()); return $res; } 1; =head1 SEE ALSO =head1 AUTHOR Leo Lapworth =head1 COPYRIGHT (c) 2005 Leo Lapworth This library is free software, you can use it under the same terms as perl itself. =head1 THANKS Thanks to Foxtons for letting me develope this on their time and to Aaron for his help with understanding SOAP a bit more and the London.pm list for ideas. =cut
