Module to implement interface to SOAP (Simple Object Access
Protocol). Support for HTTP transport included (with CGI and daemon)
implementations as well as interface for other protocols. Parser is
builded around XML::Parser. HTTP transport depends on LWP.

SOAP::Lite bdpO SOAP light-weight client & server interface
KULCHENKO
There are currently only two modules with several classes:
SOAP::Lite.pm
-- SOAP::Lite -- Main class provides all logic
-- SOAP::Transport-- Supports transport architecture
-- SOAP::Data -- Provides extentions for serialization
architecture
-- SOAP::Serializer -- Serializes data structures to SOAP package
-- SOAP::Parser -- Parse XML file into object tree
-- SOAP::Deserializer -- Deserializes result of SOAP::Parser into
objects
-- SOAP::SOM -- Provides access to deserialized object tree
SOAP::Transport::HTTP.pm
-- SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client -- Client interface to HTTP
transport
-- SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Server -- Server interface to HTTP
transport
-- SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI -- CGI implementation of server
interface
-- SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Daemon -- Daemon implementation of server
interface
I know about existent module (SOAP/Perl) from Keith Brown and we
discussed cooperation in short email conversation. Keith wrote he'll
stay consistent with other SOAP implementations [from DevelopMentor]
and won't change module's design, so I decided write my own module
with new design and features I was looking for.
I tried introduce as less interaction between my and Keith's module,
so hopefully users will be able to use both (and I didn't get any
compaints about it).
This module introduced new features that unavailable in existent
modules (and writen not only in Perl), and I fueled it with power of
Perl, so you can write:
use SOAP::Lite +autodispatch => (
uri => 'http://simon.fell.com/calc',
proxy => 'http://www.razorsoft.net/4c/soap.asp'
);
# here is your usual code, but doubler will be dispatched to SOAP
call
# so you'll get result from remote server
print doubler([10,20,30,50,100])->[2];
I doubt any other language will let you do it and I like this
feature.
This module was posted and discussed on SOAP mailing list
(http://discuss.develop.com/soap.html) and got several kind reviews
from different people:
Thanks a lot for making such a great package - its incredibly easy
and simple to use for both client and server.

Excellent. Looks good.

SOAP")
This looks extremely good.

Cool -- that looks like a *really* neat project!

I'm starting to use SOAP::Lite now, and it's very good at
interacting
with servers I've had trouble talking to before. Kudos on that.

Installation includes ready to use server (CGI/Daemon)
implementations, numerous examples and test suite (more than 50
tests, >20 are to real public servers).
I'd like to use SOAP::Lite name space and be registered as developer
for CPAN (id: KULCHENKO).
Can I have two levels of support (developer and maillist) at the same
time?
Can I put two version of the same module (.tar.gz and .zip) into the
same directory?
Thank you.
Best wishes, Paul.
