hi all,
this release of the soap client comes with a new asyncronous call
interface, called easy()
having defined the service url like so:
// declare the url under which the services are defined
var cli = new
soapdemo.soap.Client("http://"+document.location.host+"/svc/";);
this is the old way of calling services (which is still supported):
var params = new soap.Parameters();
params.add("name", "Burak");
params.add("times", 5);
cli.callAsync("say_hello", params, function(r) {
if (r instanceof Error) {
/* do error handling */
}
else {
/* parse data */
}
});
this is the new way of calling services:
cli.easy("say_hello", "Burak", 5, function(r) {
if (r instanceof Error) {
/* do error handling */
}
else {
/* parse data */
}
});
eliminating param manipulation. this relies on the order that the
variables appear in the wsdl file, which is in turn the argument order
in the service executor (i.e. the python soap server in my case) the
wsdl is requested first time a function from the service is called.
relying on the xml order means a bit abusing the wsdl, but that's fine
with soaplib. one can easily add an easy_object() function that takes an
object as a named argument list when needed.
the Object instance passed to soap calls must have a simple_object
property which is another Object instance that contains nothing but data
(no functions, no properthes, nothing, just data). soap.Request is a
fine example.
todo:
1. use qx.io.remote.Request() instead of
qx.io.remote.transport.XmlHttp.createRequestObject()
2. use events instead of callbacks.
3. use a qx.core.Object compatible serialization scheme.
once those are done, there will be no need to worry about gpl, as every
component will have been rewritten.
this will mostly complete the soap rpc implementation for qooxdoo.
i'm not sure how to insert events into each request. any ideas? maybe
giving them as function arguments is the best way anyhow.
awaiting your feedback,
best,
burak
