I don't deal with the wsdl myself (on the client side). I use suds
from suds.client import Client
from suds.transport.http import HttpAuthenticated
and when I instantiate a client, the WSDL is handled for me (aside from my
choosing a filename to store it in).
def start(self):
url1 = 'http://' + self.loggerIP + ':' + self.loggerPort \
+ '/MyServer/default/call/soap?WSDL'
self.client = Client(url=url1, username='logusr', password=
'mypassword1234567890')
self.client.set_options(cache=None)
authenticationHeader = {
"SOAPAction" : "ActionName",
"Authorization" : "Basic %s" % base64string
}
(self, because I actually made classes in the code I'm quoting; this is
part of t)
Then the hook to do stuff (also part of the class)
def getLogStatus(self, targetIP):
return self.client.service.LastStatus(targetID)
The "main" code looks like:
logClient = LoggerClient("10.3.171.71", "8080",
'file:///path/logserver-wsdl.xml')
logClient.start()
result = logClient.getTDStatus(target.IP)
failed = result.rfind(" failed")
if failed > 0:
result = result[0:failed - 1]
print "target has reported in at %s" % (result)
(result is a string, either just an ISO-format datetime, or the datetime
with " failed" appended.)
I use PySimpleSoap on the server ... finding that led to my finding
web2py. I think a client using PySimpleSoap would look similar to my
example, but it appears I didn't get around to that yet.
Also, my technique does require that you know what the calls are, but
that's either in the server API documentation or you can get the WSDL and
eyeball it.
