=head1 NAME
SOAP::WSDL
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use SOAP::WSDL;
my $soap = SOAP::WSDL->new( wsdl => 'http://server.com/ws.wsdl' );
$soap->wsdlinit();
$soap->servicename( 'myservice' );
$soap->portname( 'myport' );
my $som = $soap->call( 'method' => (
name => 'value' ,
name => 'value' ) );
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is a new version of SOAP::WSDL, mainly based on the work of
Giovanni S Fois.
The calling interface has changed between 1.20 and 1.21, so existing code
using this module needs to be changed, too.
See L<CAVEATS|CAVEATS> below.
SOAP::WSDL provides decent WSDL support for SOAP::Lite.
It is built as a add-on to SOAP::Lite, and will sit on top of it,
forwarding all the actual request-response to SOAP::Lite - somewhat
like a pre-processor.
WSDL support means that you don't have to deal with those bitchy namespaces
some web services set on each and every method call parameter.
It also means an end to that nasty
SOAP::Data->name( 'Name' )->value(
SOAP::Data->name( 'Sub-Name')->value( 'Subvalue' )
);
encoding of complex data. (Another solution for this problem is just iterating
recursively over your data. But that doesn't work if you need more information
[e.g. namespaces etc] than just your data to encode your parameters).
And it means that you can use ordinary hashes for your parameters - the
encording order will be derived from the WSDL and not from your (unordered)
data, thus the problem of unordered perl-hashes and WSDL E<gt>sequenceE<lt>
definitions is solved, too. (Another solution for the ordering problem is
tying your hash to a class that provides ordered hashes - Tie::IxHash is
one of them).
=head2 Why should I use this ?
SOAP::WSDL eases life for webservice developers who have to communicate with
lots of different web services using a reasonable big number of method calls.
If you just want to call a hand full of methods of one web service, take
SOAP::Lite's stubmaker and modify the stuff by hand if it doesn't work right
from the start. The overhead SOAP::WSDL imposes on your calls is not worth
the time saving.
If you need to access many web services offering zillions of methods to you,
this module should be your choice. It automatically encodes your perl data
structures correctly, based on the service's WSDL description, handling
even those complex types SOAP::Lite can't cope with.
SOAP::WSDL also eliminates most perl E<lt>-E<gt> .NET interoperability
problems by qualifying method and parameters as they are specified in the
WSDL definition.
=head1 USAGE
my $soap=SOAP::WSDL->new( wsdl => 'http://server.com/ws.wsdl' );
# or
my $soap=SOAP::WSDL->new()
$soap->wsdl('http://server.com/ws.wsdl');
# or
# without dispatching calls to the WebService
#
# useful for testing
my $soap=SOAP::WSDL->new( wsdl => 'http://server.com/ws.wsdl',
no_dispatch => 1 );
# never forget to call this !in order to start the parsing procedure
$soap->wsdlinit();
# with caching enabled:don't forget the cache directory
$soap->wsdlinit( caching => 1, cache_directory =>"/tmp/cachedir");
# optional, set to a false value if you don't want your
# soap message elements to be typed
$soap->autotype(0);
# before calling you *must* specify which service use and which port call
# you must call it after wsdlinit
# you can call it multiple times, one for each call
$soap->servicename('myservice');
$soap->portname('myport');
my $som=$soap->call( 'method' ,
name => 'value' ,
name => 'value' );
# with the method overloaded (got it from the standard)
my $som=$soap->call( 'method' ,
wsdl_input_name => unique_input_message_name
name => 'value' ,
name => 'value' );
# with headers (see the SOAP documentation)
#first define your headers
@header = (SOAP::Header->name("FirstHeader")->value("FirstValue"),
SOAP::Header->name("SecontHeader")->value("SecondValue"));
#and then do the call. please note the backslash
my $som=$soap->call( 'method' ,
name => 'value' ,
name => 'value' ,
"soap_headers",\@header);
=head1 How it works
SOAP::WSDL takes the wsdl file specified and looks up the service and the specified port.
On calling a SOAP method, it looks up the message encoding and wraps all the
stuff around your data accordingly.
Most pre-processing is done in I<wsdlinit>, the rest is done in I<call>, which
overrides the same method from SOAP::Lite.
=head2 wsdlinit
SOAP::WSDL loads the wsdl file specified by the wsdl parameter / call using
SOAP::Lite's schema method. It sets up a XPath object of that wsdl file, and
subsequently queries it for namespaces, service, and port elements.
SOAP::WSDL uses the service and the port specified by the calling script.
If you want to chose a different one, you can specify the service by calling
$soap->servicename('ServiceToUse');
=head2 call
The call method examines the wsdl file to find out how to encode the SOAP
message for your method. Lookups are done in real-time using XPath, so this
incorporates a small delay to your calls (see L</Memory consumption and performance>
below.
The SOAP message will include the types for each element, unless you have
set autotype to a false value by calling
$soap->autotype(0);
After wrapping your call into what is appropriate, SOAP::WSDL uses the I<call()>
method from SOAP::Lite to dispatch your call.
call takes the method name as first argument, and the parameters passed to that
method as following arguments.
B<Example:>
$som=$soap->call( "SomeMethod" => "test" => "testvalue" );
$som=$soap->call( "SomeMethod" => %args );
=head1 Caching
SOAP::WSDL uses a two-stage caching mechanism to achieve best performance.
First, there's a pretty simple caching mechanisms for storing XPath query results.
They are just stored in a hash with the XPath path as key (until recently, only
results of "find" or "findnodes" are cached). I did not use the obvious
L<Cache|Cache> or L<Cache::Cache|Cache::Cache> module here, because these
use L<Storable|Storable> to store complex objects and thus incorporate a performance
loss heavier than using no cache at all.
Second, the XPath object and the XPath results cache are be stored on disk using
the L<Cache::FileCache|Cache::FileCache> implementation.
A filesystem cache is only used if you
1) enable caching
2) set wsdl_cache_directory
The cache directory must be, of course, read- and writeable.
XPath result caching doubles performance, but increases memory consumption - if you lack of
memory, you should not enable caching (disabled by default).
Filesystem caching triples performance for wsdlinit and doubles performance for the first
method call.
The file system cache is written to disk when the SOAP::WSDL object is destroyed.
It may be written to disk any time by calling the L</wsdl_cache_store> method
Using both filesystem and in-memory caching is recommended for best performance and
smallest startup costs.
=head2 Sharing cache between applications
Sharing a file system cache among applications accessing the same web service is
generally possible, but may under some circumstances reduce performance, and under
some special circumstances even lead to errors.
This is due to the cache key algorithm used.
SOAP::WSDL uses the SOAP endpoint URL to store the XML::XPath object of the wsdl file.
In the rare case of a web service listening on one particular endpoint (URL) but using
more than one WSDL definition, this may lead to errors when applications using
SOAP::WSDL share a file system cache.
SOAP::WSDL stores the XPath results in-memory-cache in the filesystem cache, using the
key of the wsdl file with C<_cache> appended. Two applications sharing the file system
cache and accessing different methods of one web service could overwrite each others
in-memory-caches when dumping the XPath results to disk, resulting in a slight performance
drawback (even though this only happens in the rare case of one app being started before
the other one has had a chance to write its cache to disk).
=head2 Controlling the file system cache
If you want full controll over the file system cache, you can use wsdl_init_cash to
initialize it. wsdl_init_cash will take the same parameters as Cache::FileCache->new().
See L<Cache::Cache> and L<Cache::FileCache> for details.
=head2 Notes
If you plan to write your own caching implementation, you should consider the following:
The XPath results cache must not survive the XPath object SOAP::WSDL uses to
store the WSDL file in (this could cause memory holes - see L<XPath|XPath> for details).
This never happens during normal usage - but note that you have been warned
before trying to store and re-read SOAP::WSDL's internal cache.
=head1 Methods
=over 4
=item call
$soap->call($method, %data);
See above.
call will die if it can't find required elements in the WSDL file or if your data
doesn't meet the WSDL definition's requirements, so you might want to eval{} it.
On death, $@ will (hopefully) contain some error message like
Error processing WSDL: no <definitions> element found
to give you a hint about what went wrong.
=item no_dispatch
Gets/Sets the I<no_dispatch> flag. If no_dispatch is set to true value, SOAP::WSDL
will not dispatch your calls to a remote server but return the SOAP::SOM object
containing the call instead.
Useful for testing / debugging
=item encode
# this is how call uses encode
# $xpath contains a XPath object of the wsdl document
my $def=$xpath->find("/definitions")->shift;
my $parts=$def->find("//message[\@name='$messageName']/part");
my @param=();
while (my $part=$parts->shift) {
my $enc=$self->encode($part, \%data);
push @param, $enc if defined $enc;
}
Does the actual encoding. Expects a XPath::NodeSet as first, a hashref containing
your data as second parameter. The XPath nodeset must be a node specifying a WSDL
message part.
You won't need to call I<encode> unless you plan to
override I<call> or want to write a new SOAP server implementation.
=item servicename
$soap->servicename('Service1');
Use this to specify a service by name.
Your wsdl is the definition of a service, so you has to declare his name
You can call it before each method call.
=item portname
$soap->portname('Port1');
Your service can have one or many ports attached to it.
Each port has some operation defined in it trough a binding.
You have to know in which porto of your service is defined the
function you are calling.
You can call it before each method call.
=item wsdl
$soap->wsdl('http://my.web.service.com/wsdl');
Use this to specify the WSDL file to use. Must be a valid (and accessible !) url.
You must call this before calling L</wsdlinit>.
For time saving's sake, this should be a local file - you never know how much
time your WebService needs for delivering a wsdl file.
=item wsdlinit
$soap->wsdlinit( caching => 1,
cache_directory => '/tmp/cache' );
Initializes the WSDL document for usage.
wsdlinit will die if it can't set up the WSDL file properly, so you might want to
eval{} it.
On death, $@ will (hopefully) contain some error message like
Error processing WSDL: no <definitions> element found
to give you a hint about what went wrong.
wsdlinit will accept a hash of parameters with the following keys:
=item * wsdl_checkoccurs
Configuration method. Enables/disables checks for correct number of
occurences of elements in WSDL types. The default is 1 (on).
Turning off occurance number checking results in a sligt performance gain.
To turn off checking for correct number of elements, call
$soap->wsdl_checkoccurs(0);
=item * wsdl_encoding
Get/set encoding style for the SOAP call.
=over 8
=item * caching
enables caching is set to a true value
=item * cache_directory
enables filesystem caching (in the directory specified). The directory given must be
existant, read- and writeable.
=back
=item wsdl_cache_directory
$soap->wsdl_cache_directory( '/tmp/cache' );
Sets the directory used for filesystem caching and enables filesystem caching.
Passing the I<cache_directory> parameter to wsdlinit has the same effect.
=item wsdl_cache_store
$soap->wsdl_cache_store();
Stores the content of the in-memory-cache (and the XML::XPath representation of
the WSDL file) to disk. This will not have any effect if cache_directory is not set.
=item * wsdl_cache_init
Initialize the WSDL file cache. Normally called from wsdlinit. For custom
cache initailization, you may pass the same parameters as to
Cache::FileCache->new().
=back
=head1 Notes
=head2 Why another SOAP module ?
SOAP::Lite provides only some rudimentary WSDL support. This lack is not just
something unimplemented, but an offspring of the SOAP::Schema
class design. SOAP::Schema uses some complicated format to store XML Schema information
(mostly a big hashref, containing arrays of SOAP::Data and a SOAP::Parser-derived
object). This data structure makes it pretty hard to improve SOAP::Lite's
WSDL support.
SOAP::WSDL uses XPath for processing WSDL. XPath is a query language standard for
XML, and usually a good choice for XML transformations or XML template processing
(and what else is WSDL-based en-/decoding ?). Besides, there's an excellent XPath
module (L<XML::XPath>) available from CPAN, and as SOAP::Lite uses XPath to
access elements in SOAP::SOM objects, this seems like a natural choice.
Fiddling the kind of WSDL support implemented here into SOAP::Lite would mean
a larger set of changes, so I decided to build something to use as add-on.
=head2 Memory consumption and performance
SOAP::WSDL uses around twice the memory (or even more) SOAP::Lite uses for the
same task (but remember: SOAP::WSDL does things for you SOAP::Lite can't).
It imposes a slight delay for initialization, and for every SOAP method call, too.
On my 1.4 GHz Pentium mobile notebook, the init delay with a simple
WSDL file (containing just one operation and some complex types and elements)
was around 50 ms, the delay for the first call around 25 ms and for subsequent
calls to the same method around 7 ms without and around 6 ms with XPath result caching
(on caching, see above). XML::XPath must do some caching, too - don't know where
else the speedup should come from.
Calling a method of a more complex WSDL file (defining around 10 methods and
numerous complex types on around 500 lines of XML), the delay for the first
call was around 100 ms for the first and 70 ms for subsequent method calls.
wsdlinit took around 150 ms to process the stuff. With XPath result caching enabled,
all but the first call take around 35 ms.
Using SOAP::WSDL on an idiotically complex WSDL file with just one method, but around
100 parameters for that method, mostly made up by extensions of complex types
(the heaviest XPath operation) takes around 1.2 s for the first call (0.9 with caching)
and around 830 ms for subsequent calls (arount 570 ms with caching).
The actual performance loss compared to SOAP::Lite should be around 10 % less
than the values above - SOAP::Lite encodes the data for you, too (or you do
it yourself) - and encoding in SOAP::WSDL is already covered by the pre-call
delay time mentioned above.
If you have lots of WebService methods and call each of them from time to time,
this delay should not affect your perfomance too much. If you have just one method
and keep calling it ever & ever again, you should cosider hardcoding your data
encoding (maybe even with hardcoded XML templates - yes, this may be a BIG speedup).
=head1 CAVEATS
=head2 API change between 1.20 and 1.21
Giovanni S. Fois has implemented a new calling convention, which allows to specify the
port type used by SOAP::WSDL.
While this allows greater flexibillity (and helps around the still missing bindings support),
the following lines have to be added to existing code:
$soap->servicename( $servicename);
$soap->portname( $porttype );
Both lines must appear after calling
$soap->wsdlinit();
=head2 API change between 1.13 and 1.14
The SOAP::WSDL API changed significantly between versions 1.13 and 1.14.
From 1.14 on, B<call> expects the following arguments: method name as scalar first,
method parameters as hash following.
The B<call> no longer recognizes the I<dispatch> option - to get the same behaviour,
pass C<no_dispatch => 1> to I<new> or call
$soap->no_dispatch(1);
=head2 Unstable interface
This is alpha software - everything may (and most things will) change.
But you don't have to be afraid too much - at least the I<call> synopsis should
be stable from 1.14 on, and that is the part you'll use most frequently.
=head1 BUGS
=over
=item * Arrays of complex types are not checked for the correct number of elements
Arrays of complex types are just encoded and not checked for correctness etc.
I don't know if I do this right yet, but output looks good. However, they are not
checked for the correct number of element (does the SOAP spec say how to
specify this ?).
=item * +trace (and other SOAP::Lite flags) don't work
This may be an issue with older versions of the base module (before 2.?), or with
activestate's activeperl, which do
not call the base modules I<import> method with the flags supplied to the parent.
There's a simple workaround:
use SOAP::WSDL;
import SOAP::Lite +trace;
=item * nothing else known
But I'm sure there are some serious bugs lurking around somewhere.
=back
=head1 TODO
=over
=item Allow use of alternative XPath implementations
XML::XPath is a great module, but it's not a race-winning one.
XML::LibXML offers a promising-looking XPath interface. SOAP::WSDL should
support both, defaulting to the faster one, and leaving the final choice
to the user.
