Testing SOAP::Lite Client Objects
This section provides a tutorial example on testing methods that are available on SOAP::Lite 0.710 client object.
To verify methods listed in the previous tutorial, I wrote this test program, SOAP_Lite_Client_Object.pl:
#- SOAP_Lite_Client_Object.pl #- Copyright (c) 2009 HerongYang.com. All Rights Reserved. # use SOAP::Lite; #- Creating a client object with default properties my $client = SOAP::Lite->new(); #- Sets the proxy object with protocol, server and end point $client->proxy('http://localhost/'); #- Resets the end point $client->endpoint('http://localhost/Demo_Service'); #- Sets the service object. It loads the WSDL immediately #- So don't use it unless the WSDL is available # $client->service('http://localhost/Demo_Service_WSDL'); #- Turns on the flag to receive raw XML in the response $client->outputxml(true); #- Turns on the flag to auto automatically deduce types #- for the data used in the request message $client->autotype(true); #- Turns on the flag to make the request message readable #- using spaces and line breaks $client->readable(true); #- Sets the current namespace with a prefix $client->ns('http://herongyang.com/', 'hy'); #- Sets SOAP version to 1.2 $client->soapversion('1.2'); #- Sets prefix of the SOAP envelop namespace $client->envprefix('env'); #- Sets prefix of the SOAP encoding namespace $client->encprefix('enc'); #- Calls the server and send the request #- $client->call('GetProfile',"Herong Yang"); #- Prints information with get methods print "\n\$client: ".$client; print "\n\$client->transport(): ".$client->transport(); print "\n\$client->serializer(): ".$client->serializer(); print "\n\$client->packager(): ".$client->packager(); print "\n\$client->proxy(): ".$client->proxy(); print "\n\$client->endpoint(): ".$client->endpoint(); print "\n\$client->service(): ".$client->service(); print "\n\$client->outputxml(): ".$client->outputxml(); print "\n\$client->autotype(): ".$client->autotype(); print "\n\$client->readable(): ".$client->readable(); print "\n\$client->default_ns(): ".$client->default_ns(); print "\n\$client->ns(): ".$client->ns(); print "\n\$client->soapversion(): ".$client->soapversion(); print "\n\$client->envprefix(): ".$client->envprefix(); print "\n\$client->encprefix(): ".$client->encprefix(); print "\n\$client->encoding(): ".$client->encoding(); print "\n\$client->typelookup(): ".$client->typelookup(); print "\n\$client->multirefinplace(): ".$client->multirefinplace(); print "\n\$client->parts(): ".$client->parts(); print "\n\$client->on_action(): ".$client->on_action(); print "\n\$client->on_nonserialized(): " .$client->on_nonserialized();
Here is the output of the test program:
$client: SOAP::Lite=HASH(0x1a8e008) $client->transport(): SOAP::Transport=HASH(0x36038) $client->serializer(): SOAP::Serializer=HASH(0x1a8dcfc) $client->packager(): SOAP::Packager::MIME=HASH(0x1a8df30) $client->proxy(): SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client=HASH(0x1a8e26c) $client->endpoint(): http://localhost/Demo_Service $client->service(): $client->outputxml(): true $client->autotype(): true $client->readable(): true $client->default_ns(): http://herongyang.com/ $client->ns(): http://herongyang.com/ $client->soapversion(): 1.2 $client->envprefix(): env $client->encprefix(): enc $client->encoding(): UTF-8 $client->typelookup(): HASH(0x1924a24) $client->multirefinplace(): 0 $client->parts(): SOAP::Lite=HASH(0x1a8e008) $client->on_action(): CODE(0x1a5c240) $client->on_nonserialized(): CODE(0x18f7534)
I think I have a good idea on how to use the SOAP::Lite client class now.
