   -i INTERFACE_PREFIX -b BASE_DIR URL

OPTIONS

 NAME            SHORT  DESCRIPTION
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
 prefix            p   Prefix for all generated classes. If you set "-p=Foo",
                       you will get "FooAttributes", "FooTypes",
                                           "FooElements" and so on.
 attribute_prefix  a   Prefix for XML attribute classes.
                       Default: MyAttributes
 type_prefix       t   Prefix for type classes.
                       Default: MyTypes
 element_prefix    e   Prefix for element classes.
                       Default: MyElements
 typemap_prefix    m   Prefix for typemap classes.
                       Default: MyTypemaps
 interface_prefix  i   Prefix for interface classes.
                       Default: MyInterfaces
 server_prefix     sp  Prefix for server classes.
                       Default: MyServer
 base_path         b   Path to create classes in.
                       Default: .
 typemap_include   mi  File to include in typemap. Must eval() to a valid
                       perl hash (not a hash ref !).
 proxy             x   HTTP(S) proxy to use (if any). wsdl2perl will also
                       use the proxy settings specified via the HTTP_PROXY
                       and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables.
 keep_alive            Use http keep_alive.
 user                  Username for HTTP authentication
 password              Password. wsdl2perl will prompt if not given.
 generator         g   Generator to use.
                       Default: XSD
 server            s   Generate a server interface (currently only CGI
                       supported)
 help              h   Show help content

DESCRIPTION

Generates a interface class for a web service described by a definition.

The following classes are created:

*

A interface class for every

SOAP

port in service

Interface classes are what you will mainly deal with: They provide a method for accessing every web service method.

If you chose to generate Server interfaces, a class for every

SOAP

port in every Web service.

You'll have to implement a method for each of the implemented methods. You may implement these methods in the

CGI

script / handler, or in any class to dispatch calls to.

*

A typemap for every service

Typemaps are used internally by

SOAP::WSDL

for parsing the

SOAP

message into object trees.

If the

WSDL

definition is incomplete, you may need to add some lines to your typemap. Especially definitions for faults are sometimes left out.

Additional typemap content may be included by passing a file name as typemap_include (mi) option.

*

A type class for every element, complexType or simpleType definition

You may need to write additional type classes if your

WSDL

is incomplete.

For writing your own lib classes, see SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::Element, SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::ComplexType and SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::SimpleType.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Accessing

HTTPS

URLs

You need Crypt::SSLeay installed for accessing URLs.

Accessing protected documents

Use the -u option for specifying the user name. You will be prompted for a password.

Alternatively, you may specify a passowrd with --password on the command line.

Accessing documents protected by

NTLM

authentication

Set the --keep_alive option.

Note that accessing documents protected by

authentication is currently untested, because I have no access to a system using authentication. If you try it, I would be glad if you could just drop me a note about success or failure.
