MIGRATING
---------

This document describes how to migrate from 2.00_24 and before versions to 
2.00_25.

Migrating from 2.00_xx
----------------------

Background

SOAP::WSDL 2.00_xx has used Class::Std as base for its inside out objects 
up to 2.00_24. For performance reasons, now Class::Std::Fast is used.
As Class::Std::Fast is a drop-in replacement for Class::Std, there should be 
no need to change anything in your (handwritten) code.

Generated interfaces

SOAP::WSDL's internal structure has changed, and this change needs to
be reflected in all generated classes.

This means you have to re-generate your interfaces (in case you use generated
interfaces)

Typemaps

SOAP::WSDL now tries to load all typemap classes at once from 2.00_25 on.

If you use __SKIP__ in your typemaps, you'll have to comment out all 
path deeper than the path marked with __SKIP__ - if you don't, SOAP::WSDL 
will try to load all correspondent classes.

Migrating from 1.xx
-------------------

Background

SOAP::WSDL uses a custom WSDL parser and serializer. It does not rely on XPath
for on the fly WSDL processing, nor does it use SOAP::Data objects for
encoding any more.

You should be able to use your wxisting code under most circumstances.
SOAP::WSDL is the compatibility module for old interfaces.

Overloading

Message overloading (as introduced in 1.23) is not supported any more.

Message overloading is prohibited by the WS-I basic profile, therefore
SOAP::WSDL does not implement it any more.
