NAME

MOBY::Client::SecondaryArticle - a small object describing the Simple articles from the findService Response message of MOBY Central

SYNOPSIS

Can be used either in this way:

 use MOBY::CommonSubs qw{:all};
    foreach my $queryID(keys %$inputs){
        my $this_invocation = $inputs->{$queryID};  # this is the <mobyData> block with this queryID
        my $invocation_output = "";
        if (my $input = $this_invocation->{'This_articleName'}){
            # $input contains a MOBY::Client::SimpleArticle, ::CollectionArticle or ::SecondaryArticle
            next unless $input->isSecondary;  # make sure it is a ::SecondaryArticle
            $prameter_value = $input->value;  # get the value of the secondary parameter
            # do your business here and fill $invocation_output
        }

        $MOBY_RESPONSE .= simpleResponse( # create an empty response for this queryID
                $invocation_output   # response for this query
                , "myOutput"  # the article name of that output object
                , $queryID);    # the queryID of the input that we are responding to
    }
    return SOAP::Data->type('base64' => (responseHeader("illuminae.com") . $MOBY_RESPONSE . responseFooter));   

or to construct a representation of a Secondary article from a findService call to MOBY::Central
