This section provides all methods that are available on SOAP::Lite 0.710 client object.
Before using SOAP::Lite 0.710 to call any Web services, let's take a quick look at all methods
listed in the manual for the client object:
new() - The Constructor. It may take any property values as arguments.
transport() - Gets or sets the transport object used for sending/receiving SOAP messages.
serializer() - Gets or sets the serializer object used for creating XML messages.
packager() - Gets or sets the packager object that the client uses to manage the use of attachments.
proxy() - Gets or sets the proxy object to be used by the transport object.
proxy object represents a server or endpoint to which the client is going to connect.
endpoint() - Gets or sets the endpoint object to which the client is going to connect.
It must be called after the proxy object is set by calling proxy().
This method allows the caller to change the endpoint that the client is currently set to connect to,
without reloading the relevant transport code.
service() - Gets or sets the service object represents Web service descriptions,
like a WSDL document. This method loads the specified WSDL schema and uses it as the basis for generating method stubs.
outputxml() - Gets or sets the flag for receiving response result in raw XML format.
autotype() - Gets or sets the flag to be used by the serializer
for automatically deducing data types when generating request message.
readable() - Gets or sets the flag to be used by the serializer
for making request message readable with spaces and line breaks.
default_ns() - Gets or sets current namespace as a "default" namespace.
ns() - Gets or sets the current namespace as a named namespace.
soapversion() - Gets or sets the SOAP version number, 1.1 and 1.2 are supported.
envprefix() - Gets or sets the prefix of the SOAP envelop namespace to be used by the serializer.
encprefix() - Gets or sets the prefix of the SOAP encoding rules namespace to be used by the serializer.
encoding() - Gets or sets URN to be used by the serializer to be specified as the encoding scheme for the message.
typelookup() - Gets or sets the type-lookup table to be used by the serializer.
multirefinplace() - Gets or sets the flag to be used by the serializer to
control how the serializer handles values that have multiple references to them.
parts() - Gets or sets an array of MIME::Entity objects to be attached to request.
call() - Call the remote server with the request message.
The method may be built up from a the SOAP::Data object, so as to allow full control
over the namespace associated with the tag, as well as other attributes like encoding.
on_action() - Gets or sets the call back function to generate the SOAPAction header line.
on_nonserialized() - Gets or sets the call back function to handle data that can not be serialized.
I will try some of these methods in the next tutorial.
