SOAP::WSDL::Factory::Generator(3p)

NAME
SOAP::WSDL::Factory:Generator - Factory for retrieving generator objects

SYNOPSIS
 # from SOAP::WSDL::Client:
 $generator = SOAP::WSDL::Factory::Generator->get_generator({
     soap_version => $soap_version,
 });

 # in generator class:
 package MyWickedGenerator;
 use SOAP::WSDL::Factory::Generator;

 # register as generator for SOAP1.2 messages
 SOAP::WSDL::Factory::Generator->register( '1.2' , __PACKAGE__ );

DESCRIPTION
SOAP::WSDL::Factory::Generator serves as factory for retrieving generator objects for SOAP::WSDL.

The actual work is done by specific generator classes.

SOAP::WSDL::Generator tries to load one of the following classes:

•   the class registered for the scheme via register()

METHODS

  register
 SOAP::WSDL::Generator->register('Lite', 'MyWickedGenerator');

Globally registers a class for use as generator class.

  get_generator
Returns an object of the generator class for this endpoint.

WRITING YOUR OWN GENERATOR CLASS

  Registering a generator
Generator classes may register with SOAP::WSDL::Factory::Generator.

Registering a generator class with SOAP::WSDL::Factory::Generator is done by executing the following code where $version is the SOAP version the class should be used for, and $class is the class name.

 SOAP::WSDL::Factory::Generator->register( $version, $class);

To auto-register your transport class on loading, execute register() in your generator class (see SYNOPSIS above).

  Generator package layout
Generator modules must be named equal to the generator class they contain. There can only be one generator class per generator module.

  Methods to implement
Generator classes must implement the following methods:

•   new

    Constructor.

•   generate

    Generate SOAP interface

Generators may implements one or more of the following configuration methods. All of them are tried via can() by wsdl2perl.

•   set_wsdl

    Set the raw WSDL XML. Implement if you have your own WSDL parser.

•   set_definitions

    Sets the (parsed) SOAP::WSDL::Definitions object.

•   set_type_prefix

    Sets the prefix for XML Schema type classes

•   set_element_prefix

    Sets the prefix for XML Schema element classes

•   set_typemap_prefix

    Sets the prefix for typemap classes (class resolvers).

•   set_interface_prefix

    Sets the prefix for interface classes

•   set_typemap

    Set user-defined typemap snippet
