$obj->new(OPTIONS)

The OPTIONS are all collected from the WSDL description by XML::Compile::WSDL::operation(). End-users should not attempt to initiate this object directly.

Accessors

$obj->bindOperation

$obj->bindings

$obj->port

$obj->portOperation

$obj->portType

$obj->schemas

$obj->service

Use

$obj->action

Returns the soapAction and style attributes, when available.

$obj->canTransport(PROTOCOL, STYLE)

Returns a true value when the pair with URI of the PROTOCOL and processing style (either document (default) or rpc) is provided as soap binding.

$obj->endPointAddresses

Returns the list of alternative URLs for the end-point, which should be defined within the service's port declaration.

$obj->kind

This returns the type of operation this is. There are four kinds, which are returned as strings one-way, request-response, sollicit-response, and notification. The latter two are initiated by a server, the former two by a client.

$obj->prepare(OPTIONS)

Returns one CODE reference which handles the processing for this operation.

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.

 Option--Defined in--Default
 role                'CLIENT'

. role 'CLIENT'|'SERVER'

Of course, when you interact between two systems, then you need to define whether you are the sender or receiver of the data.
