=head1 NAME

XML::Compile::SOAP::WSS - Web Service Security used in SOAP

=head1 INHERITANCE

 XML::Compile::SOAP::WSS
   is a XML::Compile::SOAP::Extension

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use XML::Compile::SOAP::WSDL11;
 use XML::Compile::SOAP::WSS;

 # strict order of instantiation!
 my $wss  = XML::Compile::SOAP::WSS->new; # hooks WSDL parser
 my $wsdl = XML::Compile::WSDL11->new($wsdlfn);    

 my $auth = $wss->basicAuth               # add Security record
   ( username => $user
   , password => $password
   );

 # Will include all defined security features
 my $call     = $wsdl->compileClient($opname);
 my ($answer, $trace) = $call->(%data);

 # Only explicit security features:
 my $call     = $wsdl->compileClient($opname);
 my ($answer, $trace) = $call->(wsse_Security => $auth, %data);

 my @features = ($auth);    # any selection of features
 my $answer   = $call->(wsse_Security => \@features, %data);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The Web Service Security protocol is implemented in the sub-classes of
L<XML::Compile::WSS|XML::Compile::WSS>. This module integrates WSS features in SOAP usage.

This module is an XML::Compile::SOAP::Extension; a plugin for the
SOAP infra-structure.  Many of these extension protocols behave badly:
they usually interfere with the WSDL specification.  Therefore, all
B<WSDL plugins> have to be instantiated before the WSDL files get read,
i.e. before the WSDL object itself gets instantiated.  The use of the
information can only take place when all schema's are read, so these
security features can only be created after that.

=item schema => L<XML::Compile::Cache|XML::Compile::Cache> object

Do not use this in combination with a WSDL, but always in any other case.

=head2 Attributes

=over 4

=item $obj-E<gt>B<addFeature>(WSSOBJ)

Add a new L<XML::Compile::WSS|XML::Compile::WSS> object to the list of maintained features.

=item $obj-E<gt>B<features>()

Returns a list of all security features.

=item $obj-E<gt>B<schema>()

=back

=head2 Security features

Create one or more of these "features", components in the security
header.

=over 4

=item $obj-E<gt>B<basicAuth>(OPTIONS)

Implements username/password authentication.
See documentation in L<XML::Compile::WSS::BasicAuth|XML::Compile::WSS::BasicAuth>.  The OPTIONS are
passed to its new() method.

=item $obj-E<gt>B<signature>(OPTIONS)

Put a crypto signature on one or more elements.
See documentation in L<XML::Compile::WSS::Signature|XML::Compile::WSS::Signature>.  The OPTIONS are
passed to its new() method.

=item $obj-E<gt>B<timestamp>(OPTIONS)

Adds a timestamp record to the Security header.
See documentation in L<XML::Compile::WSS::Timestamp|XML::Compile::WSS::Timestamp>.  The OPTIONS are
passed to its new() method.
