[Soaplite-devel] soap 1.2 and WS-Addressing support

[Elmir J. <elm...@ax...>]

Hi

I wonder what the status of SOAP 1.2 and WS-Addressing support is in 
SOAP::Lite for implementing servers?
Are there any known issues or missing parts in the implementation?

I'm trying to write a soap 1.2 server, daemon style, that will consume 
WS-BaseNotification
Notification requests but I have encountered a couple of issues:

 - Content-Type: application/soap+xml does not seem to be accepted by 
SOAP::Lite daemon
 - WS-Addressing 'Action' and 'To' header elements are not recognized.

A Notification request looks something like this:

POST /test_event_consumer HTTP/1.1
Host: X.X.X.X:XXX
User-Agent: gSOAP/2.7
Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: XXX
Connection: close
SOAPAction: 
"http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsn/bw-2/NotificationConsumer/Notify"
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope 
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"      
  xmlns:wsa5="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing"
  xmlns:wsnt="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsn/b-2">
<SOAP-ENV:Header>
  <wsa5:To 
SOAP-ENV:mustUnderstand="true">http://X.X.X.X:XXX/test_event_consumer</wsa5:To>
  <wsa5:Action SOAP-ENV:mustUnderstand="true">
      http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsn/bw-2/NotificationConsumer/Notify
  </wsa5:Action>
</SOAP-ENV:Header>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
  <wsnt:NotificationMessage>
   <wsnt:Message>Notificaton message contents</wsnt:Message>
 </wsnt:NotificationMessage>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>


The SOAP::Lite server will reply with a

 'Content-Type must be 'text/xml,' 'multipart/*,' or 'application/dime' 
instead of 'application/soap+xml''

fault message.


If I hack around this error message by modifiying HTTP.pm to accept 
application/soap+xml, I'll get a
fault reply complaining about not recognized WS-Addressing element 'To'.

Here is the code for the daemon to consume Notification requests:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use SOAP::Lite;
use SOAP::Transport::HTTP;
use SOAP::Lite::Deserializer::XMLSchemaSOAP1_2;
use Foo;

SOAP::Lite->soapversion(1.2);

my $daemon = SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Daemon
    -> new (LocalPort => 5432)
    -> dispatch_to('Foo');

print "Contact to SOAP server at ", $daemon->url, "\n";
print $daemon->handle();
