NAME

       SOAP::WSDL::Manual::Glossary - Those acronyms and stuff

Glossary
   web service
       Web services are RPC (Remote Procedure Call) interfaces accessible via some internet protocol, typically via HTTP(S).

   SOAP
       SOAP is (was - since 1.2 the name "SOAP" has no meaning any more) an acronym for Simple Object Access Protocol.	SOAP is a W3C
       recommendation. The latest version of the SOAP specification may be found at <http://www.w3.org/TR/soap/>.

       SOAP defines a protocol for message exchange between applications.  The most popular usage is to use SOAP for remote procedure calls (RPC).

       While one of the constituting aspects of a web service is its reachability via some internet protocol, you might as well define SOAP
       services accessible via postcards.

       Despite it's former name, SOAP has nothing more to do with objects than cars have with pets - SOAP messages may, but not necessarily do
       carry objects, very much like your car may, but does not need to carry your pet.

   WSDL
       WSDL is an acronym for Web Services Description Language.  WSDL is a W3C recommendation. The latest version of the WSDL specification may
       be found at <http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl20/>.

       WSDL defines a XML-based language for describing web service interfaces, including SOAP interfaces.

   WS-I
       WS-I (Web Services Interoperability Organization) is an open industry organisation chartered to promote Web service interoperability across
       platforms, operating systems, and programming languages.

       WS-I publishes profiles, which provide implementation guidelines for how related Web services specifications should be used together for
       best interoperability. To date, WS-I has finalized the Basic Profile, Attachments Profile and Simple SOAP Binding Profile.

       SOAP::WSDL aims at complying to the WS-I Basic Profile (but does not implement full support yet).

   SOAP message styles
       rpc

       Meant for transporting a RPC message. All contents of the SOAP body are put into a top-level node named equal to the SOAP operation.

       WS-I Basic Profile allows the use of rpc message style.

       SOAP::WSDL does not support rpc message style yet.

       SOAP::Lite supports rpc message style only.

       document

       Meant for transporting arbitrary content. No additional nodes are inserted between the SOAP body and the actual content.

       WS-I Basic Profile allows the use of document message style.

   SOAP encoding styles
       encoded

       literal

NAME

       SOAP::WSDL::Deserializer::Hash - Deserializer SOAP messages into perl hash refs

SYNOPSIS

	use SOAP::WSDL;
	use SOAP::WSDL::Deserializer::Hash;

DESCRIPTION

       Deserializer for creating perl hash refs as result of a SOAP call.

   Output structure
       The XML structure is converted into a perl data structure consisting of hash and or list references. List references are used for holding
       array data.

       SOAP::WSDL::Deserializer::Hash creates list references always at the maximum depth possible.

       Examples:

	XML:
	<MyDataArray>
	   <MyData>1</MyData>
	   <MyData>1</MyData>
	</MyDataArray>

	Perl:
	{
	    MyDataArray => {
		MyData => [ 1, 1 ]
	    }
	}

	XML:
	<DeepArray>
	   <MyData><int>1<int>/MyData>
	   <MyData><int>1<int>/MyData>
	</DeepArray>

	Perl:
	{
	    MyDataArray => {
		MyData => [
		   { int => 1 },
		   { int => 1 }
		]
	    }
	}

       List reference creation is triggered by the second occurance of an element.  XML Array types with one element only will not be represented
       as list references.

USAGE

       All you need to do is to use SOAP::WSDL::Deserializer::Hash.

       SOAP::WSDL::Deserializer::Hash autoregisters itself for SOAP1.1 messages

       You may register SOAP::WSDLDeserializer::Hash for other SOAP Versions by calling

	SOAP::Factory::Deserializer->register('1.2',
	   SOAP::WSDL::Deserializer::Hash)

Limitations
       o   Namespaces

	   All namespaces are ignored.

       o   XML attributes

	   All XML attributes are ignored.

   Differences from other SOAP::WSDL::Deserializer classes
       o   generate_fault

	   SOAP::WSDL::Deserializer::Hash will die with a SOAP::WSDL::Fault11 object when a parse error appears

METHODS

   deserialize
       Deserializes the message.

   generate_fault
       Generates a SOAP::WSDL::SOAP::Typelib::Fault11 object and returns it.
