Description

SOAP::Lite based functions.

SOAP::Lite for Perl is a collection of Perl modules which provides a simple and lightweight interface to the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP, also known as Service Oriented Access Protocol) both on client and server side.

get_soap_request()

SOAP is a simple XML-based protocol to let applications exchange information over HTTP.

More information regarding SOAP can be find at URI: http://www.w3schools.com/soap/

Returns a status for $returnCode (OK..UNKNOWN) and when the status is OK for $xml the extracted XML if exists, otherwise undef.

asnmtapInherited

A required reference to an ASNMTAP::Asnmtap::Plugins or ASNMTAP::Asnmtap::Plugins::Nagios subclass

Through this way of working we inherited the command line option --debug.

custom

optional, is an reference to your own custom defined function

$som: the SOM object provides a simple API for accessing any aspect of the response's SOAP envelope, a result object from SOAP::Lite.

 sub actionOnSoapResponse {
   my ($asnmtapInherited, $som) = @_;
   return ($returnCode);
 }

and now with customArguments:

 sub actionOnSoapResponse {
   my ($asnmtapInherited, $som, $arguments) = @_;
   return ($returnCode);
 }
customArguments

optional, when you need to pass parameters to your own custom defined function, this can be done with customArguments.

 customArguments: SCALAR, ARRAY, HASH,
                  REF SCALAR, REF ARRAY, REF HASH
proxy

This lets you specify an endpoint (service address) and also loads the required module at the same time.

 proxy: 'http://services.soaplite.com/hibye.cgi'

When using SOAP with basic authentication you can add username and password to your URL as follows:

 proxy: 'http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@services.soaplite.com/hibye.cgi'

a required scalar.

credentials

Set the user name and password to be used for a realm.

 credentials: [ $hostname_port, $realm, $username, $password ]

              [ 'secure.citap.be:443', "ASNMTAP's Authorization Access", 'USERNAME' => 'PASSWORD' ]

a optional array.

namespace

Sets the URI that will be used as the namespace for the resulting XML entity.

 namespace: 'http://www.soaplite.com/Demo'

a required scalar.

registerNamespace

The register_ns subroutine allows users to register a global namespace with the SOAP Envelope.

 registerNamespace:

 %soapService_Register_NS = (
  'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/mime/' => 'mime',
   'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema'      => 's'
 );

a required hash.

method

The name is what the serializer will use for the tag when generating the XML for this object.

 method: SOAP::Data->name(hi)->attr( {xmlns => 'http://www.soaplite.com/Demo'} );

a required SOAP::Data->name definition

soapaction

This lets you specify a handler for on_action event. It is triggered when creating SOAPAction. The default handler will set SOAPAction to "uri/method". You can change this behavior, for a particular object to "uri/soapaction". To remove the soapaction you say soapaction => '',

optional scalar, soapaction

xmlContent

Parsing XML formatted data.

 xmlContent:
 
 <soapRequest>
   <registrationType>xmlRegistrationType</registrationType>
   <language>xmlLanguage</language>
   <orderBy>xmlOrderBy</orderBy>
 </soapRequest>

optional scalar, xmlContent is one XML

params
 params: SOAP::Data->name('req')->type('string')->value(xmlContent);

optional scalar, params is one SOAP::Data->name definition

envprefix

optional, envprefix, default 'soapenv'

encprefix

optional, encprefix, default 'soapenc'

encodingStyle

To change the encodingStyle you say encodingStyle => 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/',

To remove the encodingStyle you say encodingStyle => '',

readable

This lets you specify the format for the generated XML code. Carriage returns <CR> and indentation will be added for readability. Useful in the case you want to see the generated code in a debugger. By default, there are no additional characters in generated XML code.

optional, readable can be 0 or 1

 0, there are no additional characters in generated XML code (default)
 1, carriage returns <CR> and indentation will be added for readability
cookies

For clients that are sensitive to cookie-based authentication.

optional, cookies can be 0 or 1

 0, without cookies (default)
 1, with cookies
perfdataLabel

This means that there performance data will be created and the name for the label equals the value from perfdataLabel.

Is an scalar (value is a string), ex. 'Label x'

PATCH_HTTP_KEEPALIVE

optional, PATCH_HTTP_KEEPALIVE can be 0 or 1

 0, without PATCH_HTTP_KEEPALIVE (default)
 1, with PATCH_HTTP_KEEPALIVE
WSRF

optional, WSRF can be 0 or 1

 0, without WSRF::Lite (default)
 1, with WSRF::Lite
TYPE_ERROR_RETURN

optional, TYPE_ERROR_RETURN can be REPLACE, APPEND, INSERT, COMMA_APPEND or COMMA_INSERT

 REPLACE      : replace error (default)
 APPEND       : append to error
 INSERT       : insert to error
 COMMA_APPEND : add comma and append to error
 COMMA_INSERT : add comma and insert to error
