NAME

       SOAP::WSDL::Factory:Generator - Factory for retrieving generator objects

SYNOPSIS

        # from SOAP::WSDL::Client:
        $generator = SOAP::WSDL::Factory::Generator->get_generator({
            soap_version => $soap_version,
        });

        # in generator class:
        package MyWickedGenerator;
        use SOAP::WSDL::Factory::Generator;

        # register as generator for SOAP1.2 messages
        SOAP::WSDL::Factory::Generator->register( '1.2' , __PACKAGE__ );

DESCRIPTION

       SOAP::WSDL::Factory::Generator serves as factory for retrieving generator objects for
       SOAP::WSDL.

       The actual work is done by specific generator classes.

       SOAP::WSDL::Generator tries to load one of the following classes:

       •   the class registered for the scheme via register()

METHODS

   register
        SOAP::WSDL::Generator->register('Lite', 'MyWickedGenerator');

       Globally registers a class for use as generator class.

   get_generator
       Returns an object of the generator class for this endpoint.

WRITING YOUR OWN GENERATOR CLASS

   Registering a generator
       Generator classes may register with SOAP::WSDL::Factory::Generator.

       Registering a generator class with SOAP::WSDL::Factory::Generator is done by executing the
       following code where $version is the SOAP version the class should be used for, and $class
       is the class name.

        SOAP::WSDL::Factory::Generator->register( $version, $class);

       To auto-register your transport class on loading, execute register() in your generator
       class (see SYNOPSIS above).

   Generator package layout
       Generator modules must be named equal to the generator class they contain.  There can only
       be one generator class per generator module.

   Methods to implement
       Generator classes must implement the following methods:

       •   new

           Constructor.

       •   generate

           Generate SOAP interface

       Generators may implements one or more of the following configuration methods. All of them
       are tried via can() by wsdl2perl.

       •   set_wsdl

           Set the raw WSDL XML. Implement if you have your own WSDL parser.

       •   set_definitions

           Sets the (parsed) SOAP::WSDL::Definitions object.

       •   set_type_prefix

           Sets the prefix for XML Schema type classes

       •   set_element_prefix

           Sets the prefix for XML Schema element classes

       •   set_typemap_prefix

           Sets the prefix for typemap classes (class resolvers).

       •   set_interface_prefix

           Sets the prefix for interface classes

       •   set_typemap

           Set user-defined typemap snippet
