NAME
Catalyst::Model::SOAP - Map a WSDL to a catalyst model class.
SYNOPSIS
{# In the model class...
package MyApp::Model::SOAP;
use base qw(Catalyst::Model::SOAP);
__PACKAGE__->register_wsdl('http://foo.bar/baz.wsdl', 'Baz');
__PACKAGE__->register_wsdl('http://baz.bar/foo.wsdl', 'Foo');
};
{# later in some other class..
$c->model('SOAP::Baz')->getWeather(%arguments);
# is then dispatched to the operation getWeather described by the
# first wsdl...
$c->model('SOAP::Foo')->foo(%arguments);
# is then dispatched to the operation foo described by the
# second wsdl...
};
ABSTRACT
Create a catalyst model class from a WSDL definition using
XML::Compile::SOAP.
DESCRIPTION
This module implements a mapping from a wsdl definition, interpreted by
XML::Compile::SOAP::WSDL, as a Model class, where each operation in the
wsdl file is represented by a method with the same name.
METHODS
register_wsdl($wsdl, $targetclass)
This method will register the operations described by $wsdl in the
$targetclass package. $wsdl may be anythin
XML::Compile::SOAP::WSDL11 accepts. The $targetclass is a relative
package name which will be concatenated in the name of the model.
Note that XML::Compile->knownNamespace(...) can be used to help
declaring the wsdl.
ACCESSORS
For each operation, a secondary method called _$operation_data is
created. This method returns a list composed by the WSDL object, the
operation object and the compiled code ref.
INVOCATION
The invocation schema for each operation is documented in
XML::Compile::SOAP. Each method is a closure that will call the coderef
with the parameters ($self excluded).
XML::Compile::SOAP x SOAP::WSDL
For this module, there were two options on the SOAP client
implementation. XML::Compile::SOAP and SOAP::WSDL. While both implement
all the features expected by this module, the reason to choose
XML::Compile::SOAP over SOAP::WSDL resides in the hability to support
the specs more closely in the future. And also to provide a better
support to handle literal XML messages. As the SOAP::WSDL documentation
already states, XML::Compile::SOAP provides an approach much more
extensible and close to the specs than SOAP::WSDL.
Another version of this module may be implemented in the future
supporting the other module, but, as for the relationship between
Catalyst::Controller::SOAP and Catalyst::Model::SOAP, XML::Compile::SOAP
seems to make more sense.
