=head1 NAME
|
||||
|
||||
SOAP::WSDL::Manual::Parser - How SOAP::WSDL parses XML messages
|
||||
|
||||
=head1 Which XML message does SOAP::WSDL parse ?
|
||||
|
||||
Naturally, there are two kinds of XML documents (or messages) SOAP::WSDL has
|
||||
to parse:
|
||||
|
||||
=over
|
||||
|
||||
=item * WSDL definitions
|
||||
|
||||
=item * SOAP messages
|
||||
|
||||
=back
|
||||
|
||||
There are different parser implementations available for SOAP messages and
|
||||
WSDL definitions.
|
||||
|
||||
=head1 WSDL definitions parser
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 SOAP::WSDL::Expat::WSDLParser
|
||||
|
||||
A parser for WSDL definitions based on L<XML::Parser::Expat|XML::Parser::Expat>.
|
||||
|
||||
my $parser = SOAP::WSDL::Expat::WSDLParser->new();
|
||||
my $wsdl = $parser->parse_file( $filename );
|
||||
|
||||
The WSDL parser creates a tree of perl objects, whose root is a
|
||||
L<SOAP::WSDL::Definitions|SOAP::WSDL::Definitions> element.
|
||||
|
||||
=head1 SOAP messages parser
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 SOAP::WSDL::Expat::MessageParser
|
||||
|
||||
L<SOAP::WSDL::Expat::MessageParser|SOAP::WSDL::Expat::MessageParser> converts
|
||||
SOAP messages to SOAP::WSDL::XSD object trees.
|
||||
|
||||
It uses a class resolvers for finding out which class
|
||||
a particular XML element should be of, and type libs containing these classes.
|
||||
|
||||
=head3 Creating a class resolver
|
||||
|
||||
The easiest way for creating a class resolver is to run SOAP::WSDL's generator.
|
||||
|
||||
See L<wsdl2perl.pl>.
|
||||
|
||||
The class resolver must implement a class method "get_class", which is passed
|
||||
a list ref of the current element's XPath (relative to Body), split by /.
|
||||
|
||||
This method must return a class name appropriate for a XML element.
|
||||
|
||||
A class resolver package might look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
package ClassResolver;
|
||||
|
||||
my %class_list = (
|
||||
'EnqueueMessage' => 'Typelib::TEnqueueMessage',
|
||||
'EnqueueMessage/MMessage' => 'Typelib::TMessage',
|
||||
'EnqueueMessage/MMessage/MRecipientURI' => 'SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Builtin::anyURI',
|
||||
'EnqueueMessage/MMessage/MMessageContent' => 'SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Builtin::string',
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
sub new { return bless {}, 'ClassResolver' };
|
||||
|
||||
sub get_class {
|
||||
my $name = join('/', @{ $_[1] });
|
||||
return ($class_list{ $name }) ? $class_list{ $name }
|
||||
: warn "no class found for $name";
|
||||
};
|
||||
1;
|
||||
|
||||
=head3 Skipping unwanted items
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes there's unneccessary information transported in SOAP messages.
|
||||
|
||||
To skip XML nodes (including all child nodes), just edit the type map for
|
||||
the message and set the type map entry to '__SKIP__'.
|
||||
|
||||
In the example above, EnqueueMessage/StuffIDontNeed and all child elements
|
||||
are skipped.
|
||||
|
||||
my %class_list = (
|
||||
'EnqueueMessage' => 'Typelib::TEnqueueMessage',
|
||||
'EnqueueMessage/MMessage' => 'Typelib::TMessage',
|
||||
'EnqueueMessage/MMessage/MRecipientURI' => 'SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Builtin::anyURI',
|
||||
'EnqueueMessage/MMessage/MMessageContent' => 'SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Builtin::string',
|
||||
'EnqueueMessage/StuffIDontNeed' => '__SKIP__',
|
||||
'EnqueueMessage/StuffIDontNeed/Foo' => 'SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Builtin::string',
|
||||
'EnqueueMessage/StuffIDontNeed/Bar' => 'SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Builtin::string',
|
||||
);
|
||||
|
||||
Note that only SOAP::WSDL::Expat::MessageParser implements skipping elements
|
||||
at the time of writing.
|
||||
|
||||
=head3 Creating type lib classes
|
||||
|
||||
Every element must have a correspondent one in the type library.
|
||||
|
||||
Builtin types should be resolved as SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Builtin::* classes
|
||||
|
||||
Creating a type lib is easy: Just run SOAP::WSDL's generator - it will
|
||||
create both a typemap and the type lib classes for a WSDL file.
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes it is nessecary to create type lib classes by hand - not all
|
||||
WSDL definitions are complete.
|
||||
|
||||
For writing your own lib classes, see L<SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Element>,
|
||||
L<SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::ComplexType> and L<SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::SimpleType>.
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 SOAP::WSDL::Expat::Message2Hash
|
||||
|
||||
Transforms a SOAP message into a perl hash refs. Using this parser is usually
|
||||
triggered by calling the C<outputhash> method of SOAP::WSDL, or by using
|
||||
L<SOAP::WSDL::Deserializer::Hash|SOAP::WSDL::Deserializer::Hash>.
|
||||
|
||||
Acts somewhat like XML::Simple, but faster.
|
||||
|
||||
The following restrictions apply:
|
||||
|
||||
=over
|
||||
|
||||
=item * Ignores all namespaces
|
||||
|
||||
=item * Ignores all attributes
|
||||
|
||||
=item * Does not handle mixed content
|
||||
|
||||
=item * The SOAP header is ignored
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
=head1 OLD SAX HANDLER
|
||||
|
||||
Historically, SOAP::WSDL used SAX for parsing XML. The SAX handlers were
|
||||
implemented as L<XML::LibXML|XML::LibXML> handlers, which also worked with
|
||||
L<XML::SAX::ParserFactory|XML::SAX::ParserFactory>.
|
||||
|
||||
Support for SAX and L<XML::LibXML|XML::LibXML> in SOAP::WSDL is discontinued
|
||||
for the following reasons:
|
||||
|
||||
=over
|
||||
|
||||
=item * Speed
|
||||
|
||||
L<XML::Parser::Expat|XML::Parser::Expat> is faster than
|
||||
L<XML::LibXML|XML::LibXML> - at least when optimized for speed.
|
||||
|
||||
High parsing speed is one of the key requirements for a SOAP toolkit - if XML
|
||||
serializing and (more important) deserializing are not fast enough, the whole
|
||||
toolkit is unusable.
|
||||
|
||||
=item * Availability
|
||||
|
||||
L<XML::Parser|XML::Parser> is more popular than L<XML::LibXML|XML::LibXML>.
|
||||
|
||||
=item * Stability
|
||||
|
||||
XML::LibXML is based on the libxml2 library. Several versions of
|
||||
libxml2 are known to have specific bugs. As a workaround, there are
|
||||
often several versions of libxml2 installed on one system. This may
|
||||
lead to problems on operating systems which cannot load more than
|
||||
one version of a shared library simultaneously.
|
||||
|
||||
XML::LibXML is also still under development, while XML::Parser has had time
|
||||
to stabilize.
|
||||
|
||||
=item * SOAP::Lite uses XML::Parser
|
||||
|
||||
L<SOAP::Lite|SOAP::Lite> uses L<XML::Parser|XML::Parser> if available.
|
||||
SOAP::WSDL should not require users to install both L<XML::Parser|XML::Parser>
|
||||
and L<XML::LibXML|XML::LibXML>.
|
||||
|
||||
=back
|
||||
|
||||
The old SAX handler historically used in SOAP::WSDL are not included in
|
||||
the SOAP::WSDL package any more.
|
||||
|
||||
However, they may be obtained from the "attic" directory in
|
||||
SOAP::WSDL's SVN repository at
|
||||
|
||||
https://soap-wsdl.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/soap-wsdl/SOAP-WSDL/trunk/attic
|

|
||||
|
||||
=item * SOAP::WSDL::SAX::WSDLHandler
|
||||
|
||||
This is a SAX handler for parsing WSDL files into object trees SOAP::WSDL
|
||||
works with.
|
||||
|
||||
It's built as a native handler for XML::LibXML, but will also work with
|
||||
XML::SAX::ParserFactory.
|
||||
|
||||
To parse a WSDL file, use one of the following variants:
|
||||
|
||||
my $parser = XML::LibXML->new();
|
||||
my $handler = SOAP::WSDL::SAX::WSDLHandler->new();
|
||||
$parser->set_handler( $handler );
|
||||
$parser->parse( $xml );
|
||||
my $data = $handler->get_data();
|
||||
|
||||
my $handler = SOAP::WSDL::SAX::WSDLHandler->new({
|
||||
base => 'XML::SAX::Base'
|
||||
});
|
||||
my $parser = XML::SAX::ParserFactor->parser(
|
||||
Handler => $handler
|
||||
);
|
||||
$parser->parse( $xml );
|
||||
my $data = $handler->get_data();
|
||||
|
||||
=item * SOAP::WSDL::SAX::MessageHandler
|
||||
|
||||
This is a SAX handler for parsing WSDL files into object trees SOAP::WSDL
|
||||
works with.
|
||||
|
||||
It's built as a native handler for XML::LibXML, but will also work with
|
||||
XML::SAX::ParserFactory.
|
||||
|
||||
Can be used for parsing both streams (chunks) and documents.
