NAME

XML::Compile::SOAP11::Operation - defines a SOAP11 interaction

INHERITANCE

 XML::Compile::SOAP11::Operation
   is a XML::Compile::SOAP::Operation

SYNOPSIS

 # object created by XML::Compile::WSDL*
 my $op = $wsdl->operation('GetStockPrices');
 $op->explain($wsdl, PERL => 'INPUT', recurse => 1);

DESCRIPTION

Objects of this type define one possible SOAP11 interaction, either client side or server side.

METHODS

Constructors

XML::Compile::SOAP11::Operation->new(OPTIONS)

input_def, output_def and fault_def are HASHes which contain the input and output message header, body and fault-header definitions in WSDL1.1 style.

 -Option    --Defined in                   --Default
  action      XML::Compile::SOAP::Operation  undef
  endpoints   XML::Compile::SOAP::Operation  []
  fault_def                                  <undef>

Modify

Operations are often modified by SOAP extensions. See XML::Compile::SOAP::WSA, for instance. Also demonstrated in the FAQ, XML::Compile::SOAP::FAQ.

$obj->addHeader(('INPUT'|'OUTPUT'|'FAULT'), LABEL, ELEMENT, OPTIONS)

Add a header definitions. Many protocols on top of SOAP, like WSS, add headers to the operations which are not specified in the WSDL.

[2.31] When you add a header with same LABEL again, it will get silently ignored unless the ELEMENT type differs.

 -Option        --Default
  destination     undef
  mustUnderstand  undef
destination => ROLE

[2.33] adds the destination attribute,

mustUnderstand => BOOLEAN

[2.33] adds the mustUnderstand attribute.

Handlers

$obj->compileClient(OPTIONS)

Returns one CODE reference which handles the processing for this operation. Options transporter, transport_hook, and endpoint are passed to compileTransporter().

You pass that CODE reference an input message of the correct type, as pure Perl HASH structure. An 'request-response' operation will return then answer, or undef in case of failure. An 'one-way' operation with return undef in case of failure, and a true value when successfull.

You cannot pass options for XML::Compile::Schema::compile(), like <sloppy_integers = 0>>, hooks or typemaps this way. Provide these to the ::WSDL or other ::Cache object which defines the types, via new option opts_rw and friends.

$obj->compileHandler(OPTIONS)

Prepare the routines which will decode the request and encode the answer, as will be run on the server. The XML::Compile::SOAP::Server will connect these. All OPTIONS will get passed to XML::Compile::SOAP11::Server::compileHandler()

 -Option  --Default
  callback  <required>
  selector  <from input def>
callback => CODE
selector => CODE

Determines whether the handler belongs to a received message.

$obj->compileTransporter(OPTIONS)

See "Handlers" in XML::Compile::SOAP::Operation

Helpers

$obj->explain(WSDL, FORMAT, DIRECTION, OPTIONS)

[since 2.13]

Dump an annotated structure showing how the operation works, helping developers to understand the schema. FORMAT is PERL. (XML is not yet supported)

The DIRECTION is INPUT, it will return the message which the client sends to the server (input for the server). The OUTPUT message is sent as response by the server.

All OPTIONS besides those described here are passed to XML::Compile::Schema::template(), when recurse is enabled.

 -Option     --Default
  recurse      <false>
  skip_header  <false>
recurse => BOOLEAN

Append the templates of all the part structures.

skip_header => BOOLEAN
$obj->parsedWSDL()

[2.29] For some purposes, it is useful to get access to the parsed WSDL structure.

Be aware that the structure returned is consided "internal" and strongly influenced by behavior of XML::Compile; backwards compatibility will not be maintained at all cost.

You can use XML::Compile::Schema::template() format TREE to get more details about the element types mentioned in this structure.

example:

  use Data::Dumper;
  $Data::Dumper::Indent    = 1;
  $Data::Dumper::Quotekeys = 0;

  print Dumper $op->parsedWSDL;
XML::Compile::SOAP11::Operation->register(URI, ENVNS)
