DESCRIPTION
This module understands WSDL version 1.1. An WSDL file defines a set of messages to be send and received
over (SOAP) connections. This involves encoding of the message to be send into XML, sending the message
to the server, collect the answer, and finally decoding the XML to Perl.
As end-user, you do not have to worry about the complex details of the messages and the way to exchange
them: it's all simple Perl for 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.
XML::Compile::Schema::template() may help you.
When the definitions are spread over multiple files you will need to use addWSDL() (wsdl) or
importDefinitions() (additional schema's) explicitly. Usually, interreferences between those files are
broken. Often they reference over networks (you should never trust). So, on purpose you must explicitly
load the files you need from local disk! (of course, it is simple to find one-liners as work-arounds,
but I will not tell you how! See XML::Compile::SOAP::FAQ)

Compilers
Extends "Compilers" in XML::Compile::Cache.
$obj->addCompileOptions( ['READERS'|'WRITERS'|'RW'], %options )
Inherited, see "Compilers" in XML::Compile::Cache
$obj->call($opname, $data)
[2.20] Call the $opname (operation name) with $data (HASH or LIST of parameters). This only works
when you have called compileCalls() beforehand, always during the initiation phase of the program.
example:
# at initiation time (compile once)
$wsdl->compileCalls;
# at runtime (run often)
my $answer = $wsdl->call($operation, $request);
$obj->compile( <'READER'|'WRITER'>, $type, %options )
Inherited, see "Compilers" in XML::Compile::Schema
$obj->compileAll( [ <'READERS'|'WRITERS'|'RW'|'CALLS'>, [$ns] ] )
[2.20] With explicit "CALLS" or without any parameter, it will call compileCalls(). Otherwise, see
XML::Compile::Cache::compileAll().
$obj->compileCall($operation|$opname, %options)
[2.37] The call to the $operation object (which extends XML::Compile::SOAP::Operation) gets compiled
and cached so it can be used with call().
[2.38] Alteratively to an $operation object, you may also specify an operation by name.
-Option--Default
alias undef
alias => NAME
[3.03] When defined, the compiled operation will be stored with the alias name in stead of the
operation name. This may make your code more readible or solve naming conflicts.
example:
my $op = $wsdl->operation(name => 'getInfo');
$wsdl->compileCall($op);
# as often as you need it
my ($answer, $trace) = $wsdl->call('getInfo')->(%request);
$obj->compileCalls(%options)
[2.20] Compile a handler for each of the available operations. The %options are passed to each call
of compileClient(), but will be overruled by more specific declared options.
Additionally, %options can contain "service", "port", and "binding" to limit the set of involved
calls. See operations() for details on these options.
You may declare additional specific compilation options with the declare() method.
-Option --Default
long_names false
long_names => BOOLEAN
[3.03] Prepend the service name to the operation name to produce an alias (see compileCall(alias))
for the compiled call. If the service name is 'X' and the operation name is 'Y', then the alias
becomes 'X#Y'.
You will need this if you have multiple operations with the same name in your WSDL (-collection).
example:
my $trans = XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP
->new(timeout => 500, address => $wsdl->endPoint);
$wsdl->compileCalls(transport => $trans);
# alternatives for simple cases
$wsdl->compileAll('CALLS');
$wsdl->compileAll;
my $answer = $wsdl->call($myop, $request);

Extension
$obj->addWSDL($xmldata|\@xmldata, %options)
The $xmldata must be acceptable to XML::Compile::dataToXML() and should represent the top-level of a
(partial) WSDL document. The specification can be spread over multiple files, each of which must
have a "definition" root element.
$obj->compileClient( [$name], %options )
Creates an XML::Compile::SOAP::Operation temporary object using operation(), and then calls
"compileClient()" on that. This results in a code reference which will handle all client-server SOAP
exchange.
The %options available include all of the options for:
• operation() (i.e. "service" and "port"), and all of
• XML::Compile::SOAP::Operation::compileClient() (there are many of these, for instance
"transport_hook" and "server")
You cannot pass options for XML::Compile::Schema::compile(), like "<sloppy_integers =" 0>>, hooks or
typemaps this way. Use new(opts_rw) and friends to declare those.
When you use compileCall(), the compiled code references get cached for you. In that case, you can
use call() to use them.
example:
my $call = $wsdl->compileClient
( operation => 'HelloWorld'
, port => 'PrefillSoap' # only required when multiple ports
);
my ($answer, $trace) = $call->($request);
# 'operation' keyword optional
my $call = $wsdl->compileClient('HelloWorld');
$obj->namesFor($class)
Returns the list of names available for a certain definition $class in the WSDL. See index() for a
way to determine the available $class information.
$obj->operation( [$name], %options )
Collect all information for a certain operation. Returned is an XML::Compile::SOAP::Operation
object.
An operation is defined by a service name, a port, some bindings, and an operation name, which can be
specified explicitly and is often left-out: in the many configurations where there are no alternative
choices. In case there are alternatives, you will be requested to pick an option.
-Option --Default
action <undef>
operation <required>
port <only when just one port in WSDL>
server_type undef
service <only when just one service in WSDL>
action => STRING
Overrule the soapAction from the WSDL.
operation => NAME
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.
port => NAME
Required when more than one port is defined.
server_type => NAME
Overrules new(server_type).
service => QNAME|PREFIXED
Required when more than one service is defined.
Administration
Extends "Administration" in XML::Compile::Cache.
$obj->declare($group, $component|ARRAY, %options)
Register specific compile %options for the specific $component. See also
XML::Compile::Cache::declare(). The $group is either "READER", "WRITER", "RW" (both reader and
writer), or "OPERATION". As $component, you specify the element name (for readers and writers) or
operation name (for operations). %options are specified as LIST, ARRAY or HASH.
example:
$wsdl->declare(OPERATION => 'GetStockPrice', @extra_opts);
$wsdl->compileCalls;
my $answer = $wsdl->call(GetStockPrice => %request);

Introspection
All of the following methods are usually NOT meant for end-users. End-users should stick to the
operation() and compileClient() methods.
$obj->endPoint(%options)
[2.20] Returns the address of the server, as specified by the WSDL. When there are no alternatives
for service or port, you not not need to specify those parameters.
The endpoint in the WSDL is often wrong. All compile functions accept the "server" and "endpoint"
parameters to overrule the value. With "server", only the hostname:port is being replaced. With
"endpoint", everything is replaced.
-Option --Default
port <undef>
service <undef>
port => NAME
service => QNAME|PREFIXED
example:
my $devel = URI->new($wsdl->endPoint);
$devel->path('/sdk');
my $call = $wsdl->compileCall($opname, endpoint => $devel);
$obj->explain($operation, $format, $direction, %options)
[2.13] Produce templates (see XML::Compile::Schema::template() which detail the use of the
$operation. Currently, only the "PERL" template $format is available.
The $direction of operation is either "INPUT" (input for the server, hence to be produced by the
client), or "OUTPUT" (from the server, received by the client).
The actual work is done by XML::Compile::SOAP::Operation::explain(). The %options passed to that
method include "recurse" and "skip_header".
example:
print $wsdl->explain('CheckStatus', PERL => 'INPUT');
print $wsdl->explain('CheckStatus', PERL => 'OUTPUT'
, recurse => 1 # explain options
, port => 'Soap12PortName' # operation options
);
foreach my $op ($wsdl->operations)
{ print $op->explain($wsdl, PERL => 'INPUT');
}
$obj->findDef( $class, <$qname|$prefixed|$name> )
With a $qname, the HASH which contains the parsed XML information from the WSDL template for that
$class-$name combination is returned. You may also have a $prefixed name, using one of the
predefined namespace abbreviations. Otherwise, $name is considered to be the localName in that
class. 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.
example:
$service = $obj->findDef(service => 'http://xyz');
@services = $obj->findDef('service');
$obj->index( [$class, [$qname]] )
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.
$class includes "service", "binding", "portType", and "message".
$obj->operations(%options)
Return a list with all operations defined in the WSDL.
-Option --Default
binding <undef>
port <undef>
server_type undef
service <undef>
binding => NAME
Only return operations which use the binding with the specified NAME. By default, all bindings are
accepted.
port => NAME
Return only operations related to the specified port NAME. By default operations from all ports.
server_type => STRING
[3.06]
service => NAME
Only return operations related to the NAMEd service, by default all services.
$obj->printIndex( [$fh], %options )
For available %options, see operations(). This method is useful to understand the structure of your
WSDL: it shows a nested list of services, bindings, ports and portTypes.
-Option --Defined in --Default
show_declared XML::Compile::Cache <true>
show_declared => BOOLEAN

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 XML::Compile::SOAP.
The WSDL file contains operations which can be addressed by name. In the 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 must explicitly
select one.
use XML::Compile::WSDL11 ();
# once in your program
my $wsdl = XML::Compile::WSDL11->new('def.wsdl');
# XML::Compile::Schema refuses 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);
