SOAP - Library for SOAP clients and servers in Perl

++

++

SOAP/Perl is a collection of Perl modules which provides a simple and consistent application programming interface (API) to the Simple Object Access Protocl (SOAP). To learn more about SOAP, see the W3C note at <URL:http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP> This li...

SOAP::Defs - Spec-defined constants

++

++

This is an internal class that exports global symbols needed by various SOAP/Perl classes. You don't need to import this module directly unless you happen to be building SOAP plumbing (as opposed to simply writing a SOAP client or server)....

SOAP::Struct - support for ordered hashes

++

++

The SOAP spec explicitly mandates that it should be possible to serialize structures and control both the names of the accessors and the order that they appear in the serialized stream. (SOAP 1.1, section 7.1, bullet 3) Prior to SOAP/Perl 0.25, this ...

SOAP::Parser - Parses SOAP documents

++

++

SOAP::Parser has all the logic for traversing a SOAP packet, including Envelope, Header, and Body, dealing with namespaces and tracking down references. It is basically an extension of a SAX-like parser, which means that it exposes an event-driven in...

SOAP::Packager - SOAP internal helper class

++

++

This is an internal class used by the SOAP/Perl implementation. It is designed to manage a table of object references and XML ids used for serializing object graphs that may contain multiref data (and perhaps even cycles). If you are extending SOAP/P...

SOAP::Envelope - Creates SOAP streams

++

++

This class bootstraps and manages the serialization of an object graph into a SOAP stream. It is used by the SOAP::Transport classes, but may be used directly as well. The new function Creates a new envelope. If you know you'll be using certain names...

SOAP::OutputStream - Writes SOAP fragments

++

++

SOAP::OutputStream encapsulates the details of writing SOAP packets into a few easy to use functions. In order to bootstrap a SOAP stream (and get your first SOAP::OutputStream reference), you'll need to use SOAP::Envelope, as shown in the example ab...

SOAP::EnvelopeMaker - Creates SOAP envelopes

++

++

The overall usage pattern of SOAP::EnvelopeMaker is as follows: 1) Determine what you want to do with the resulting SOAP packet and create an output function that implements this policy. 2) Create an instance of SOAP::EnvelopeMaker, passing a referen...

SOAP::TypedPrimitive - Wrapper for xsd primitives that need explicit SOAP type attributes

++

++

In some cases it is desirable to provide explicit types for parameters being passed to SOAP methods. One legitimate case is when you need to disambiguate a call to a method that is one of many with the same name that only differ by the parameter type...

SOAP::GenericInputStream - Default handler for SOAP::Parser output

++

++

As you can see from the synopsis, you won't use SOAP::GenericInputStream directly, but rather the SOAP::Parser will create instances of it when necessary to unmarshal SOAP documents. The main reason for this documentation is to describe the interface...

KBROWN/SOAP-0.28 - 05 Sep 2000 18:04:25 UTC

SOAP::GenericHashSerializer - Generic serializer for Perl hashes

++

++

Serializes a vanilla Perl hash to a SOAP::OutputStream. Note that Perl hashes are unordered, so the serialization order is not guaranteed. Use SOAP::Struct as opposed to a hash if you need to preserve order (this is actually a requirement of the SOAP...

SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI - Generic SOAP CGI handler

++

++

This class encapsulates the details of hooking up to CGI, and then calls SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Server to do the SOAP-specific stuff. This way the Server class can be reused with any web server configuration (including mod_perl), by simply composing ...

SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Server - Server side HTTP support for SOAP/Perl

++

++

This class provides all the HTTP related smarts for a SOAP server, independent of what web server it's attached to. It exposes a single function (that you'll never call, unless you're adapting SOAP/Perl to a new web server environment) that provides ...
