=head1 NAME XML::Compile::WSDL11 - create SOAP messages defined by WSDL 1.1 =head1 INHERITANCE XML::Compile::WSDL11 is a XML::Compile =head1 SYNOPSIS # preparation my $wsdl = XML::Compile::WSDL11->new($wsdlfile); $wsdl->addWSDL(...additional WSDL file...); $wsdl->importDefinitions(...more schemas...); my $call = $wsdl->compileClient('GetStockPrice'); my $op = $wsdl->operation('GetStockPrice'); my $call = $op->compileClient; my $answer = $call->(%request); my ($answer, $trace) = $call->(%request); my @op_defs = $wsdl->operations; # Install XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon my $server = XML::Compile::SOAP::HTTPDaemon->new; $server->actionsFromWSDL($wsdl); # For debug info, start your script with: use Log::Report mode => 'DEBUG'; =head1 DESCRIPTION This module currently supports WSDL 1.1 on SOAP 1.1, with HTTP-SOAP. B pure HTTP GET/POST bindings, multipart-mime transport protocols, WSDL2 and SOAP 1.2. An WSDL file defines a set of messages to be send and received over SOAP connections. As end-user, you do not have to worry about the complex details of the messages and the exchange of them: it's all Perl to you. Also faults are handled automatically. The only complication you have to worry about, is to shape a nested HASH structure to the sending message structure. L may help you. When the definitions are spread over multiple files, you will need to use L (wsdl), or L (additional schema's) explicitly, because L does not wish dynamic internet download magic to happen. =head1 METHODS =head2 Constructors XML::Compile::WSDL11-EB(XML, OPTIONS) =over 4 The XML is the WSDL file, which is anything accepted by L. All options are also passed to create an internal L object. See L Option --Defined in --Default schema_dirs XML::Compile undef schemas wsdl_namespace undef . schema_dirs => DIRECTORY|ARRAY-OF-DIRECTORIES . schemas => XML::Compile::Schema object . wsdl_namespace => IRI =over 4 Force to accept only WSDL descriptions which are in this namespace. If not specified, the name-space which is found in the first WSDL document is used. =back =back =head2 Accessors $obj-EB(DIRECTORIES|FILENAME) XML::Compile::WSDL11-EB(DIRECTORIES|FILENAME) =over 4 See L =back $obj-EB =over 4 Returns the L object which collects all type information. =back $obj-EB([NAMESPACE]) =over 4 Returns (optionally after setting) the namespace used by the WSDL specification. This is the namespace in which the C document root element is defined. =back =head2 Compilers $obj-EB(NODE|REF-XML-STRING|XML-STRING|FILENAME|FILEHANDLE|KNOWN) =over 4 See L =back =head2 Administration $obj-EB(FILENAME) =over 4 See L =back $obj-EB(NAMESPACE|PAIRS) XML::Compile::WSDL11-EB(NAMESPACE|PAIRS) =over 4 See L =back $obj-EB(NODE, CODE) =over 4 See L =back =head2 Extension $obj-EB(XMLDATA) =over 4 Some XMLDATA, accepted by L is provided, which should represent the top-level of a (partial) WSDL document. The specification can be spread over multiple files, which each have a C root element. =back $obj-EB([NAME], OPTIONS) =over 4 Creates temporarily an L with L, and then calls C on that; an usual combination. As OPTIONS are available the combination of all possibilities for =over 4 =item . L (i.e. C and C), and all of =item . L (a whole lot, for instance C), plus =item . everything you can pass to L, for instance C<< check_values => 0 >>, hooks, and typemaps. =back example: $wsdl->compileClient ( operation => 'HelloWorld' , port => 'PrefillSoap' # only needed when multiple ports , sloppy_integers => 1 ); =back $obj-EB(XMLDATA, OPTIONS) =over 4 Add schema information to the WSDL interface knowledge. This should not be needed, because WSDL definitions must be self-contained. =back $obj-EB(CLASS) =over 4 Returns the list of names available for a certain definition CLASS in the WSDL. =back $obj-EB([NAME], OPTIONS) =over 4 Collect all information for a certain operation. Returned is an L object. An operation is defined by a service name, a port, some bindings, and an operation name, which can be specified explicitly or sometimes left-out. When not specified explicitly via OPTIONS, each of the CLASSes are only permitted to have exactly one definition. Otherwise, you must make a choice explicitly. There is a very good reason to be not too flexible in this area: developers need to be aware when there are choices, where some flexibility is required. Option --Default operation port service . operation => NAME =over 4 Ignored when the parameter list starts with a NAME (which is an alternative for this option). Optional when there is only one operation defined within the portType. =back . port => NAME =over 4 Required when more than one port is defined. =back . service => QNAME =over 4 Required when more than one service is defined. =back =back =head2 Inspection All of the following methods are usually NOT meant for end-users. End-users should stick to the L and L methods. $obj-EB(CLASS, [QNAME]) =over 4 With a QNAME, the HASH which contains the parsed XML information from the WSDL template for that CLASS-NAME combination is returned. When the NAME is not found, an error is produced. Without QNAME in SCALAR context, there may only be one such name defined otherwise an error is produced. In LIST context, all definitions in CLASS are returned. =back $obj-EB([CLASS, [QNAME]]) =over 4 With a CLASS and QNAME, it returns one WSDL definition HASH or undef. Returns the index for the CLASS group of names as HASH. When no CLASS is specified, a HASH of HASHes is returned with the CLASSes on the top-level. =back $obj-EB(OPTIONS) =over 4 Return a list with all operations defined in the WSDL. Option --Default produce 'HASHES' . produce => 'OBJECTS'|'HASHES' =over 4 By default, this function will return a list of HASHes, each representing one defined operation. When this option is set, those HASHes are immediately used to create L objects per operation. =back =back =head1 DETAILS =head2 Comparison =head2 Initializing SOAP operations via WSDL When you have a WSDL file, then SOAP is simple. If there is no such file at hand, then it is still possible to use SOAP. See the DETAILS chapter in L. The WSDL file contains operations, which can be addressed by name. In this WSDL file, you need to find the name of the port to be used. In most cases, the WSDL has only one service, one port, one binding, and one portType and those names can therefore be omitted. If there is a choice, then you are required to select one explicitly. use XML::Compile::WSDL11 (); # once in your program my $wsdl = XML::Compile::WSDL11->new('def.wsdl'); # XML::Compile::Schema does not want to follow "include" and # "import" commands, so you need to invoke them explicitly. # $wsdl->addWSDL('file2.wsdl'); # optional # $wsdl->importDefinitions('schema1.xsd'); # optional # once for each of the defined operations my $call = $wsdl->compileClient('GetStockPrice'); # see XML::Compile::SOAP chapter DETAILS about call params my $answer = $call->(%request); =head1 DIAGNOSTICS Error: cannot find pre-installed name-space files =over 4 Use C<$ENV{SCHEMA_LOCATION}> or L to express location of installed name-space files, which came with the L distribution package. =back Error: don't known how to interpret XML data =over 4 =back =head1 SEE ALSO This module is part of XML-Compile-SOAP distribution version 0.77, built on August 15, 2008.
