Calling functions with parameters using SOAP with

问题:

I am attempting to access a web service using SOAP through Perl and am having issues calling the service's functions that require parameters. The XSD that dictates the SOAP call says,

<xs:complexType name="getVersion"> 
<xs:sequence/> 
</xs:complexType> 
<xs:complexType name="getVersionResponse"> 
<xs:sequence> 
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="return" type="xs:string"/> 
</xs:sequence> 
</xs:complexType>
...
<xs:complexType name="enumerateEntities"> 
<xs:sequence> 
<xs:element name="entityId" type="xs:int"/> 
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="entityType" type="tns:entityType"/> 
</xs:sequence> 
</xs:complexType> 
<xs:complexType name="enumerateEntitiesResponse"> 
<xs:sequence> 
<xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="return" nillable="true" type="xs:int"/> 
</xs:sequence> 
</xs:complexType> 

According to the docs for the service, the signatures for the two functions are:

String getVersion ()
int[] enumerateEntities (int entityId, EntityType entityType)

I am able to call the first function, which requires no input parameters, using:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use SOAP::Lite;
my $uri = 'http://wsdl.mydomain.com/';
my $service = SOAP::Lite
 -> uri($uri)
 -> on_action(sub { sprintf '"Call by on_action: %s"',shift})
 -> proxy('http://192.168.1.100:8688/MyService/services/MyService.MyServicePort/');

$method = SOAP::Data->name("MyService")->attr({xmlns => $uri});
$getVersion = SOAP::Data->name("getVersion")->attr({xmlns=>$uri});#line 11
my $theResult = $service->getVersion;

unless ($theResult->fault){ print "Version: "; print $theResult->result;}
else {print $theResult->faultstring;}

...but my attempt (below) at calling a function with parameters by changing line 11 on have been futile.

...
@entityId = SOAP::Data->type('int')->name('entityId')->value(0);
@entityType = SOAP::Data->type('EntityType')->name('entityType')->value(NODE);
$enumerateEntities = SOAP::Data->name("enumerateEntities",@entityId,@entityType)->attr({xmlns=>$uri});
my $result2 = $service->enumerateEntities;
print $result2->result;

What am I doing wrong that is preventing me from calling functions of the service with parameters?

Edit: Here's the updated sample code with using SOAP::WSDL

#!/usr/bin/perl

use SOAP::WSDL;
use Data::Dumper;

my $service = SOAP::WSDL->new(
   wsdl => 'http://192.168.1.100:8688/MyService/services/MyService.MyServicePort?wsdl',
   outputhash => 1
);

Use SOAP::WSDL to consume the service wsdl, it also marshals from and (optionally) to plain perl data structures for you. Highly recommended module.

Something like the following:

use SOAP::WSDL;
use Data::Dumper;

my $soap = SOAP::WSDL->new(
  wsdl => 'http://server/pathtoservice?WSDL',
  outputhash => 1
);
my $res = $soap->call('method', { foo => 1, bar =>2 });
die $res->faultstring if $res->fault;
print Dumper($res->result);

You can use wsdl2perl.pl to generate client stub code from wsdl. This makes things pretty easy. wsdl2perl.pl is part of SOAP::WSDL. Here is the sample code after you have generates client stub.

use MyInterfaces::SoapImplService::SoapPort;

my $soap = MyInterfaces::SoapImplService::SoapPort->new();
#calling method createRecipient which takes 2 parameterss:
#1. Complex type : recipient
#2. Complex type : authentication

my $response=$soap->createRecipient( { # MyTypes::createRecipient
    recipient =>  { # MyTypes::Recipient
      address =>  "test701\@test.com", # string
      externalID =>  "test701\@test.com", # string
      sourceDescription =>  "testing perl", # string
      demographics =>  { # MyTypes::StringCollection
        },
    },
  },,
 { # MyTypes::authentication
   username=>'testuser' , password=>'pass'
  },,
 );

#you can find example code of calling every function in your "MyInterfaces\SoapImplService\SoapPort.pm" file.

You can try using SOAP::Lite if you are having problems with the WSDL:

remember, you can always use:

use SOAP::Lite qw(trace);

to see the exact XML you are sending to see how close you are.

I don't have time to test this out, but here is my best guess off the top of my head:

my $soap = SOAP::Lite
 -> uri($uri)
 -> on_action(sub { sprintf '"Call by on_action: %s"',shift})
 -> proxy('http://192.168.1.100:8688/MyService/services/MyService.MyServicePort/');

my $id = SOAP::Data->type('int')->name('entityId')->value(0);
my $type= SOAP::Data->type('EntityType')->name('entityType')->value(NODE);
$soap->enumerateEntities($id, $param);
