NAME
SOAP::Schema - provides an umbrella for the way in which SOAP::Lite manages service
description schemas
DESCRIPTION
This class provides an umbrella for the way in which SOAP::Lite manages service
description schemas. Currently, the only support present is for the Web Services
Description Language (WSDL). This is another of the classes not generally designed to be
directly instantiated by an application, though it can be if so desired.
METHODS
new(optional key/value pairs)
$schema = SOAP::Schema->new(parse => $schema_uri);
This is the class constructor. With no arguments, it creates a blank object of the
class. Any arguments that are passed are treated as key/value pairs in which the key
represents one of the methods described here, and the value is what gets passed when
the method itself gets invoked.
parse(service description URI)
$schema->parse('http://schemas.w3.org/soap.wsdl');
Parses the internal representation of the service description prior to the generation
of stub routines to provide method-like access to the remote services.
access(service description URI)
$schema->access('http://soap.org/service.wsdl');
Loads the specified service description from the given URL, using the current value of
the schema accessor if none is provided. The full content of the URL is returned on
success, or an exception is thrown (via "die") on error.
load
$schema->load;
Takes the internal representation of the service and generates code stubs for the
remote methods, allowing them to be called as local object methods. Stubs are
generated for all the functions declared in the WSDL description with this call
because it's enough of a class framework to allow for basic object creation for use as
handles.
schema
$current_schema = $schema->schema;
Gets (or sets) the current schema representation to be used by this object. The value
to be passed when setting this is just the URI of the schema. This gets passed to
other methods such as access for loading the actual content.
services
$hashref = $schema->services;
Gets or sets the services currently stored on the object. The services are kept as a
hash reference, whose keys and values are the list of returned values from the WSDL
parser. Keys represent the names of the services themselves (names have been
normalized into Perl-compatible identifiers), with values that are also hash
references to the internal representation of the service itself.
stub
Returns the autogenerated Perl code as a string. This code is generated from the WSDL
provided by the "service" method call. The code contains a package definition for the
service being called.
my $client = SOAP::Lite->new;
my $code = $client->service($WSDL_URL)->stub;
open FILE,">ServicePackage.pm";
print FILE $code;
close FILE;
cache_dir
Sets/retrieves the value of the directory where generated stubs will be cached. If
"cache_dir" is null, then no caching will be performed.
my $client = SOAP::Lite->new;
my $code = $client->cache_dir("/tmp")->service($WSDL_URL)->stub;
If "cache_dir" is undefined, no caching will take place.
cache_ttl
Sets/retrieves the value of the time to live (in seconds) for cached files. This is
only relevant when used in conjunction with "cache_dir".
If "cache_ttl" is set to 0, the cache will never expire. Files will have to be removed
manually in order for the cache to be refreshed.
my $client = SOAP::Lite->new;
my $code = $client->cache_ttl(3600)->cache_dir("/tmp")->service($WSDL_URL)->stub;
The default time to live is 0.
useragent(LWP::UserAgent)
my $client = SOAP::Lite->new;
$ua = $client->schema->useragent;
$ua->agent("Fubar! 0.1");
my $response = $client->service("http://localhost/some.wsdl")
->someMethod("Foo");
Gets or sets the classes UserAgent used for retrieving schemas over the web. This
allows users to have direct access to the UserAgent so that they may control the
credentials passed to a remote server, or the specific configuration of their HTTP
agent.
SOAP::Schema::WSDL
At present, the SOAP::Lite toolkit supports only loading of service descriptions in the
WSDL syntax. This class manages the parsing and storing of these service specifications.
As a general rule, this class should be even less likely to be used directly by an
application because its presence should be completely abstracted by the previous class
(SOAP::Schema). None of the methods are defined here; the class is only mentioned for sake
of reference.
