New to SOAP::WSDL
Posted on 2009-12-09 15:20:40-08 by dklein06
Hi All
wsdl2perl.pl worked well for me under Ubuntu karmic I also succeed nicely in placing a request over https
The place where I am a bit at a loss is how: 1) use the response of the server (aka how to access various fields in header and body of the soap response
2) how to influence the header of the request, I need to insert a SessionToken Any pointer to documentation or sample code would be greatly appreciated
Kind Regards

Hey, I did progress!
In this forum there is the magic thread
That is enough hints for me to get started getting values out of my responses Leaving me with the problem of inserting a value into my request header So I do not close question completely yet Thanks

Hi I did progress again, and solved my issues/questions so far I will post here a little example based on the Betfair public API, hopping it will help the next ones wanting to try SOAP::WSDL
follow instruction and have SOAP::WSDL installed on your box. also install the Crypt::SSLeay package as API is using HTTPS.
then from command line of your box:
perl wsdl2perl.pl -b ./w2p https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFGlobalService.wsdl
then go into the subdir w2p and run following script
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use MyInterfaces::BFGlobalService::BFGlobalService;
my $bfs = MyInterfaces::BFGlobalService::BFGlobalService->new(
);
print "\n ... going to log in now!\n";
#$bfs->no_dispatch( 1 );
my $sres = $bfs->login( {
request => {
username => 'your_betfair_id',
password => 'your_betfair_pwd',
productId=> 82
}
}
);
die $sres if not $sres;
print $sres;
print Dumper $sres->as_hash_ref();
print "\n\n\n";
my $obj = $sres->get_Result()->get_errorCode();
print "$obj \n";
my $validUntil = $sres->get_Result()->get_validUntil();
print "$validUntil \n";
my $sesstoken = $sres->get_Result()->get_header()->get_sessionToken();
print "$sesstoken \n";
print "\n ... going to send a keepAlive\n";
# $bfs->no_dispatch( 1 );
my $resp = $bfs->keepAlive (
{ request => { header => { sessionToken => $sesstoken } } }
);
die $resp if not $resp;
print $resp;
print Dumper $resp->as_hash_ref();
print "\n\n\n";
print $resp->get_FOO();
this will give you following output:
dom@dom-inspiron:~/Soap-Wsdl-Betfair/sources/w2p$ perl ../test3.pl
... going to log in now!

}
};

}
}
};
Can't locate object method "get_FOO" via package "MyElements::keepAliveResponse".
Valid methods are: get_Result, set_Result
at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/SOAP/WSDL/XSD/Typelib/ComplexType.pm line 68
SOAP::WSDL::XSD::Typelib::ComplexType::AUTOMETHOD('MyElements::keepAliveResponse=SCALAR(0x9
b01d00)', 162536704) called at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/Class/Std.pm line 546
Class::Std::AUTOLOAD('MyElements::keepAliveResponse=SCALAR(0x9b01d00)') called at ../test3. pl line 49
This small example should give you some hints about getting return values, about putting a value in the body or header segment of a soap request.
I did not make the complete use of the power of SOAP::WSDL yet, but have to say: ... THANK YOU MARTIN! Nice clean job all around.
Hoping this post may help others to find the first leads into this module Tchao!

Thanks for this example though I tried to retrieve the WSDL file for the Betdaq API also at:
https://api.betdaq.com/v2.0/API.wsdl using the command:
wsdl2perl.pl -b ./w2p https://api.betdaq.com/v2.0/API.wsdl
And it complains horribly with lots of the following:
Deep recursion on anonymous subroutine at /usr/lib/perl5/Template/Document.pm line 155.
Failing to build the necessary directory structure. Any ideas?

Hi As I said in previous email I am a newcomer to Soap::Wsdl But to get my example working I had to read through the whole forum And there you find:
That looks Good Luck

Thanks for the good pointer - this indeed avoided the recursion issue. However another issue has become apparent in that not all subdirectories and functions are created - so only MyTypes and MyInterfaces, not MyElements. It looks like someone else has had this problem though I can't see a reply to it.
Any idea how to get all directories? I'll also cross post to their thread. Nb: If you are interested in betting exchange APIs, the Betdaq one is also free so you can see the issues for yourself: https://api.betdaq.com/v2.0/API.wsdl
