[Pywebsvcs-talk] ZSI - how to turn any soap XML into its matching soap object

[Phlip <phl...@gm...>]

ZSI:

I'm doing that with a hack right now:

def parse_soap_object(soap_action, soap_in):
    responseDec = eval('ns0.%s_Dec' % soap_action)()
    ps = ParsedSoap(soap_in)
    soap_object = ps.Parse(responseDec)
    return soap_object

The back-story: I use wsdl2py to turn a soap spec into its matching
Python objects. (Generally an excellent system - thanks!)

Then I have to write a web service. When each message comes in, I have
to guess what soap type it is, then call that splack of ugly code,
like this:

  any_soap_object = parse_soap_object("ToothpasteSoap", XML)

I want to take the "ToothpasteSoap" out. The XML itself contains the
clues how to reconstruct its object, so presumably the wsdl2py also
extruded some kind of multiplexer that does, the right way, what my
crappy code does.

So, how to turn arbitrary XML - that follows the WSDL - into its
matching Soap object?
