NAME

XML::Compile::SOAP::Server - server-side SOAP message processing

INHERITANCE

 XML::Compile::SOAP::Server is extended by
   XML::Compile::SOAP11::Server
   XML::Compile::SOAP12::Server

SYNOPSIS

  # THIS CANNOT BE USED YET: Preparations for new module
  # named XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon

  my $soap   = XML::Compile::SOAP11::Server->new;
  my $input  = $soap->compileMessage('RECEIVER', ...);
  my $output = $soap->compileMessage('SENDER', ...);

  $soap->compileHandler
    ( name => $name, input => $input, output => $output
    , callback => \$my_handler
    );

  my $daemon = XML::Compile::SOAP::HTTPDaemon->new(...);
  $daemon->addHandler($type => $daemon);

DESCRIPTION

This class defines methods that each server for the SOAP message exchange protocols must implement.

METHODS

Instantiation

This object can not be instantiated, but is only used as secundary base class. The primary must contain the new.

$obj->compileHandler(OPTIONS)

 Option  --Default
 action    <undef>
 callback  <fault: not implemented>
 decode    <undef>
 encode    <undef>
 name      <required>

. action => STRING

A possible SOAPaction string from the HTTP header. It might be used to identify an incoming message (but probably not, because it is against the official intent of the header field which is routing only).

. callback => CODE

As input, the SERVER object and the translated input message (Perl version) are passed in. As output, a suitable output structure must be produced. If the callback is not set, then a fault message will be returned to the user.

. decode => CODE

The CODE reference is used to decode the (parsed) XML input message into the pure Perl request. The reference is a READER, created with XML::Compile::Schema::compile(). If no input decoder is specified, then the callbackhandler will be called with the un-decoded XML::LibXML::Document node.

. encode => CODE

The CODE reference is used to encode the Perl answer structure into the output message. The reference is a WRITER. created with XML::Compile::Schema::compile(). If no output encoder is specified, then the callback must return an XML::LibXML::Document, or only produce error messages.

. name => STRING

The identification for this action, for instance used for logging. When the action is created via a WSDL, the portname will be used here.

It is a pitty that the portname is not passed in the SOAP message, because it is not so easy to detect which handler must be called.
