NAME

MOBY::Client::SimpleArticle - a small object describing the Simple articles from the findService Response message of MOBY Central

SYNOPSIS

    foreach my $queryID(keys %$inputs){
        my $this_invocation = $inputs->{$queryID};  # this is the <mobyData> block with this queryID
        my $invocation_output = "";
        if (my $input = $this_invocation->{'This_articleName'}){
            # $input contains a MOBY::Client::SimpleArticle, ::CollectionArticle or ::SecondaryArticle
            next unless $input->isSimple;
            $XML = $input->XML;  # get the raw XML of the object, including <Simple> or <Collection> elements
            $moby_object = $input->content; # get the raw XML of the object EXCLUDING <Simple> or <Collection> elements
            $DOM = $input->XML_DOM;  # get the XML as a LibXML DOM object
            $namespace = $input->namespace;  # get the namespace of the object
            $id = $input->id;  # get the id of the object (the id of the outermost MOBY object XML block)

            # do your business here and fill $invocation_output
        }

        $MOBY_RESPONSE .= simpleResponse( # create an empty response for this queryID
                $invocation_output   # response for this query
                , "myOutput"  # the article name of that output object
                , $queryID);    # the queryID of the input that we are responding to
    }
    return SOAP::Data->type('base64' => (responseHeader("illuminae.com") . $MOBY_RESPONSE . responseFooter));   

or to construct a representation of a simple article from a findService call to MOBY::Central

DESCRIPTION

This describes the Simple articles from either the findService Response of MOBY Central (i.e. the description of the service), or Simple articles as provided in a service invocation or response message (i.e. simple articles containing data)

Basically it parses the following part of a findService response:

<Simple articleName='foo'> <objectType>someNbject</objectType> <Namespace>someNamespace</Namespace> <Namespace>someNamespace2</Namespace> </Simple>

OR it parses the following part of a service invocation or response message:

<Simple articleName='foo'> <SomeObject namespace='someNamespace' id='someID'>.....</SomeObject> </Simple>

The articleName is retrieved with ->articleName The namespace(s) are retrieved with ->namespaces The objectType is retrieved with ->objectType the id (if instantiated) is retrieved with ->id

isSimple

 Usage     :    $boolean = $IN->isSimple()
 Function  :    is this a SimpleArticle type
                (yes, I know this is obvious, but since you can
                 get both Simple and Collection objects in your
                 Input and output lists, it is good to be able

 Returns   :    1 (true)

isCollection

 Usage     :    $boolean = $IN->isCollection()
