stubmaker.pl(1)

NAME

       stubmaker.pl - Generates client stubs from a WSDL file.

OPTIONS

       -d <dirname>
           Specifies the directory you wish to output the files to. The direc-
           tory must already exist.

       -v  Turns on "verbose" output during the code stub generation process.
           To be honest, there is not much the program outputs, but if you
           must see something output to the console, then this fits the bill.

       --help
           Outputs a short help message.

       --version
           Outputs the current version of stubmaker.pl.

STUB FILES

       STUB SUBROUTINES

       The "class" or "package" created by stubmaker.pl is actually a sub-
       class of the core SOAP::Lite object. As a result, all methods one can
       call upon SOAP::Lite one can also call upon generated stubs.

       For example, suppose you wanted to obtain readable output from the gen-
       erated stub, then simply call readable(1) on the stub's instance. See
       the example below.

       The following subroutines are unique to generated stub classes, and
       help the user control and configure the stub class.

           want_som(boolean)
               When set to 1, SOAP::Lite will return SOAP::SOM objects to the
               user upon invoking a method on a remote service. This is very
               helpful when you need to check to see if the return value is a
               SOAP::Fault or not. When set to 0, SOAP::Lite will return the
               return value of the method.

EXAMPLES

       Invoking stubmaker.pl from the command line

       > perl stubmaker.pl http://www.xmethods.net/sd/StockQuoteService.wsdl
       Or: > perl "-MStockQuoteService qw(:all)" -le "print getQuote('MSFT')"

       Working with stub classes

       Command line: > perl stubmaker.pl
       http://ws1.api.re2.yahoo.com/ws/soap-demo/full.wsdl

       File: echo.pl > use full; > use SOAP::Lite +trace => qw( debug ); > my
       $f = new full; > $f->use_prefix(0); > $f->readable(1); >
       $f->want_som(1); > $som = $f->echoViaBase64("foo");
