NAME

       SOAP::Constants - SOAP::Lite provides several variables to allows programmers and users to modify the behavior of SOAP::Lite in specific
       ways.

DESCRIPTION

       A number of "constant" values are provided by means of this namespace. The values aren't constants in the strictest sense; the purpose of
       the values detailed here is to allow the application to change them if it desires to alter the specific behavior governed.

CONSTANTS

   $DO_NOT_USE_XML_PARSER
       The SOAP::Lite package attempts to locate and use the XML::Parser package, falling back on an internal, pure-Perl parser in its absence.
       This package is a fast parser, based on the Expat parser developed by James Clark. If the application sets this value to 1, there will be
       no attempt to locate or use XML::Parser. There are several reasons you might choose to do this. If the package will never be made
       available, there is no reason to perform the test. Setting this parameter is less time-consuming than the test for the package would be.
       Also, the XML::Parser code links against the Expat libraries for the C language. In some environments, this could cause a problem when
       mixed with other applications that may be linked against a different version of the same libraries. This was once the case with certain
       combinations of Apache, mod_perl and XML::Parser.

   $DO_NOT_USE_CHARSET
       Unless this parameter is set to 1, outgoing Content-Type headers will include specification of the character set used in encoding the
       message itself. Not all endpoints (client or server) may be able to properly deal with that data on the content header, however. If dealing
       with an endpoint that expects to do a more literal examination of the header as whole (as opposed to fully parsing it), this parameter may
       prove useful.

   $DO_NOT_CHECK_CONTENT_TYPE
       The content-type itself for a SOAP message is rather clearly defined, and in most cases, an application would have no reason to disable the
       testing of that header. This having been said, the content-type for SOAP 1.2 is still only a recommended draft, and badly coded endpoints
       might send valid messages with invalid Content-Type headers. While the "right" thing to do would be to reject such messages, that isn't
       always an option. Setting this parameter to 1 allows the toolkit to skip the content-type test.

   $PATCH_HTTP_KEEPALIVE
       SOAP::Lite's HTTP Transport module attempts to provide a simple patch to LWP::Protocol to enable HTTP Keep Alive. By default, this patch is
       turned off, if however you would like to turn on the experimental patch change the constant like so:

	 $SOAP::Constants::PATCH_HTTP_KEEPALIVE = 1;

SOAP::Fault(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					  SOAP::Fault(3pm)

NAME

       SOAP::Fault - encapsulates SOAP faults prior to their serialization or after their deserialization

DESCRIPTION

       This class encapsulates SOAP faults prior to their serialization or after their deserialization. The methods available are a constructor
       and four accessors. Each accessor creates an object on demand, just as the other classes do, when called as a static method. Like other
       accessors in the SOAP::Lite package, they return the object itself when setting the attribute.

GENERATING A SOAP FAULT

       To generate a SOAP Fault simply issue a Perl die command on the server side as you might normally. The SOAP processor will intercept the
       die command and return a SOAP Fault, using the string passed to the die command as the faultstring, to the client making the call. If you
       require having more control over the SOAP Fault returned to the client, then simply pass a SOAP::Fault object to the die command and the
       SOAP processor will behave accordingly. For example:

	 die SOAP::Fault->faultcode('Server.Custom') # will be qualified
			->faultstring('Died in server method')
			->faultdetail(bless {code => 1} => 'BadError')
			->faultactor('http://www.soaplite.com/custom');

METHODS

       new(optional data)
	       $fault = SOAP::Fault->new(faultcode => 'Server');

	   Explicitly creates a new SOAP::Fault object. Any of the four attributes represented next by accessor methods may be passed in the
	   argument list with values immediately following their attribute name.

       faultcode(optional value)
	       $fault->faultcode('MethodUnknown');

	   Returns the current fault code or sets it if a value is given.

       faultstring(optional value)
	       $fault->faultstring("There is no $method here");

	   Returns or sets the fault string.

       faultactor(optional value)
	       $fault->faultcode($header->actor);

	   Returns or sets the fault-actor element. Note that the actor isn't always required in a SOAP fault.

       faultdetail(optional value)
	       $fault->faultcode(bless { proxy => $ip }, 'Err');

	   Returns or sets the fault's detail element. Like the actor, this isn't always a required element. Note that fault detail content in a
	   message is represented as tag blocks. Thus, the values passed to this accessor when setting the value are either SOAP::Data objects, or
	   more general blessed hash references.

       In addition to these methods, the SOAP::Fault package also provides detail as an alias for faultdetail. The former is the actual name of
       the element with SOAP faults, but the latter name is less ambiguous when regarded with the rest of the SOAP::Lite package. Objects of this
       class also have a special stringification enabled. If an object is printed or otherwise stringified, the value produced is faultcode:
       faultstring, with the attribute values of the object.
