=head1 NAME
|
||||
|
||||
SOAP::WSDL::Generator::Visitor - SOAP::WSDL's Visitor-based Code Generator
|
||||
|
||||
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||||
|
||||
SOAP::WSDL featores a code generating facility. This code generation facility
|
||||
(in fact there are several of them) is implemented as Visitor to
|
||||
SOAP::WSDL::Base-derived objects.
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 The Visitor Pattern
|
||||
|
||||
The Visitor design pattern is one of the object oriented design pattern
|
||||
described by [GHJV1995].
|
||||
|
||||
A Visitor is an object implementing some behaviour for a fixed set of classes,
|
||||
whose implementation would otherwise need to be scattered accross those
|
||||
classes' implementations.
|
||||
|
||||
Visitors are usually combined with Iterators for traversing either a list or
|
||||
tree of objects.
|
||||
|
||||
A Visitor's methods are called using the so-called double dispatch technique.
|
||||
To allow double dispatching, the Visitor implements one method for every class
|
||||
ro be handled, whereas every class implements just one method (commonly named
|
||||
"access"), which does nothing more than calling a method on the reference
|
||||
given, with the self object as parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
If all this sounds strange, maybe an example helps. Imagine you had a list of
|
||||
person objects and wanted to print out a list of their names (or address
|
||||
stamps or everything elseyou like). This can easily be implemented with a
|
||||
Visitor:
|
||||
|
||||
package PersonVisitor;
|
||||
use Class::Std; # handles all basic stuff like constructors etc.
|
||||
|
||||
sub visit_Person {
|
||||
my ( $self, $object ) = @_;
|
||||
print "Person name is ", $object->get_name(), "\n";
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
package Person;
|
||||
use Class::Std;
|
||||
my %name : ATTR(:name<name> :default<anonymous>);
|
||||
|
||||
sub accept { $_[1]->visit_Person( $_[0] ) }
|
||||
|
||||
package main;
|
||||
my @person_from = ();
|
||||
for (qw(Gamma Helm Johnson Vlissides)) {
|
||||
push @person_from, Person->new( { name => $_ } );
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
my $visitor = PersonVisitor->new();
|
||||
for (@person_from) {
|
||||
$_->accept($visitor);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
# will print
|
||||
Person name is Gamma
|
||||
Person name is Helm
|
||||
Person name is Johnson
|
||||
Person name is Vlissides
|
||||
|
||||
While using this pattern for just printing a list may look a bit over-sized,
|
||||
but it may become handy if you need multiple output formats and different
|
||||
classes to operate on.
|
||||
|
||||
The main benefits using visitors are:
|
||||
|
||||
=over
|
||||
|
||||
=item * Grouping related behaviour in one class
|
||||
|
||||
Related behaviour for several classes can be grouped together in the Visitor
|
||||
class. The behaviour can easily be changed by changing the code in one class,
|
||||
instead of having to change all the visited classes.
|
||||
|
||||
=item * Cleaning up the data classes' implementations
|
||||
|
||||
If classes holding data also implement several different output formats or
|
||||
other (otherwise unrelated) behaviour, they tend to get bloated.
|
||||
|
||||
=item * Adding behaviour is easy
|
||||
|
||||
Swapping out the visitor class allows easy alterations of behaviour. So on a
|
||||
list of Persons, one Visitor may print address stamps, while another one prints
|
||||
out a phone number list.
|
||||
|
||||
=back
|
||||
|
||||
Of course, there are also drawbacks in the visitor pattern:
|
||||
|
||||
=over
|
||||
|
||||
=item * Changes in the visited classes are expensive
|
||||
|
||||
If one of the visited classes changes (or is added), all visitors must be
|
||||
updated to reflect this change. This may be rather expensive if classes change
|
||||
often.
|
||||
|
||||
=item * The visited classes must expose all data required
|
||||
|
||||
Visitors may need to use the internals of a class. This may result in fidelling
|
||||
with a object's internals, or a bloated interface in the visited class.
|
||||
|
||||
=back
|
||||
|
||||
Visitors are usually accompanied by a Iterator. The Iterator may be implemented
|
||||
in the visited classes, in the Visitor, or somewhere else (in the example it
|
||||
was somewhere else).
|
||||
|
||||
The Iterator decides which object to visit next.
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 Why SOAP::WSDL uses the Visitor pattern for Code Generation
|
||||
|
||||
Code generation in SOAP::WSDL means generating various artefacts:
|
||||
|
||||
=over
|
||||
|
||||
=item * Typemaps
|
||||
|
||||
For every WSDL definition, a Typemap is created. The Typemap is used later as
|
||||
an aid in parsing the SOAP XML messages.
|
||||
|
||||
=item * Type Classes
|
||||
|
||||
For every type defined in the WSDL's schema, a Type Class is generated.
|
||||
|
||||
These classes are instantiated later as a result of parsing SOAP XML messages.
|
||||
|
||||
=item * Interface Classes
|
||||
|
||||
For every service, a interface class is generated. This class is later used by
|
||||
programmers accessing the service
|
||||
|
||||
=item * Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
Both Type Classes and Interface Classes include documentation. Additional
|
||||
documentation may be generated as a hint for programmers, or later for
|
||||
mimicing .NET's .asmx example pages.
|
||||
|
||||
=back
|
||||
|
||||
All these behaviours could well (and has historically been) implemented in the
|
||||
classes holding the WSDL data. This made these classes rather bloated, and
|
||||
made it hard to change behaviour (like, supporting SOAP Headers,
|
||||
supporting atomic types and other features which were missing from early
|
||||
versions of SOAP::WSDL).
|
||||
|
||||
Implementing these behaviours in Visitor classes eases adding new behaviours,
|
||||
and reducing the incompletenesses still inherent in SOAP::WSDL's WSDL and XML
|
||||
schema implementation.
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 Implementation
|
||||
|
||||
=head3 _accept
|
||||
|
||||
SOAP::WSDL::Base defines an _accept method which expects a Visitor as only
|
||||
parameter. The method is named _accept (and not the common "accept") to avoid
|
||||
interferance with possible XML names (XML names must not start with a _).
|
||||
|
||||
Don't let the _ prefix fool you: The method is B<not> private (though it is
|
||||
meant to be called by Visitors only).
|
||||
|
||||
The method visit_Foo_Bar is called on the visitor, whith the self object as
|
||||
parameter.
|
||||
|
||||
The actual method name is constructed this way:
|
||||
|
||||
=over
|
||||
|
||||
=item * SOAP::WSDL is stripped from the class name
|
||||
|
||||
=item * All remaining :: s are replaced by _
|
||||
|
||||
=back
|
||||
|
||||
Example:
|
||||
|
||||
When visiting a SOAP::WSDL::XSD::ComplexType object, the method
|
||||
visit_XSD_ComplexType is called on the visitor.
|
||||
|
||||
=head2 Writing your own visitor
|
||||
|
||||
SOAP::WSDL eases writing your own visitor. This might be required if you need
|
||||
some special output format from a WSDL file, or want to feed your own
|
||||
serializer/deserializer pair with custom configuration data. Or maybe you want
|
||||
to generate C# code from it...
|
||||
|
||||
To write your own code generating visitor, you should subclass
|
||||
SOAP::WSDL::Generator::Visitor. It implements (empty) default methods for all
|
||||
SOAP::WSDL data classes.
|
||||
|
||||
In your Visitor, you must implement visit_Foo methods for all classes you wish
|
||||
to visit.
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, all SOAP::WSDL::Generator::Visitor implementations include their own
|
||||
Iterator (which means they know how to find the next objects to visit). You
|
||||
may or may not choose to implement a separate Iterator.
|
||||
|
||||
Letting a visitor implementing it's own Iterator visit a WSDL definition is as
|
||||
easy as writing something like this:
|
||||
|
||||
my $visitor = MyVisitor->new();
|
||||
my $parser = SOAP::WSDL::Expat::WSDLParser->new();
|
||||
my $definitions = $parser->parse_file('my.wsdl'):
|
||||
|
||||
$definitions->_accept( $visitor );
