NAME

XML::CompileX::WSDL11::AsMethods - Export SOAP operations as Perl methods

VERSION

version 0.001

SYNOPSIS

use XML::CompileX::WSDL11::AsMethods;
use URI::file;

my $methods = XML::CompileX::WSDL11::AsMethods->new(
    URI::file->new_abs('stockquote.wsdl') );
$methods->export('My::StockQuote');

my ($answer_ref, $trace) = My::StockQuote->GetLastTradePrice(
    body => {tickerSymbol => 'AAPL'} );

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a mechanism for exporting the SOAP operations defined in one or more WSDL/schema documents as regular Perl class methods that will then call the appropriate web service. By default it exports these methods into the current namespace when the export method is called; however you can explicitly specify a different one either during construction or when calling export.

ATTRIBUTES

uris

Either a URI string or URI object, or a reference to an array of them. These will be loaded as WSDL and XSD files that define the available SOAP operations and their input and output parameters.

If you pass an odd number of arguments to the new constructor method (and you're not just passing in a hash reference), the first argument will be used as the value for this attribute.

namespace

The namespace of the Perl class into which the SOAP operations will be exported as methods. Can be overridden when the export method is actually called.

user_agent

An instance of LWP::UserAgent used to load the uris as well as make SOAP calls. You may want to set this to your own instance of a subclass or otherwise customized object to add caching, logging or other features.

use_loader

Defaults to true, will use XML::CompileX::Schema::Loader to collect all imported documents from uris. You may want to unset this if you know there are no imports or you are handling it some other way.

wsdl

Use this optional attribute at construction time to specify your own XML::Compile::WSDL11 object, perhaps after installing hooks or other mechanisms for correcting issues with retrieved WSDL or schemas.

METHODS

export

When called, this method exports the operations defined by uris into either the current namespace or one passed in as a string. These methods typically take a hash of name-value pairs as arguments, and will return their results as a hash reference and an XML::Compile::SOAP::Trace object.
