CAM::SOAPApp - SOAP application framework

=head1 SYNOPSIS

Do NOT subclass from this module to create your SOAP methods!  That
would make a big security hole.  Instead, write your application like
this example:

  use CAM::SOAPApp;
  SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI
    -> dispatch_to('My::Class')
    -> handle;

  package My::Class;
  our @ISA = qw(SOAP::Server::Parameters);
  sub isLeapYear {
     my $pkg = shift;
     my $app = CAM::SOAPApp->new(soapdata => \@_);
     if (!$app) {
        CAM::SOAPApp->error('Internal', 'Failed to initialize the SOAP app');
     }
     my %data = $app->getSOAPData();
     if (!defined $data{year}) {
        $app->error('NoYear', 'No year specified in the query');
     }
     if ($data{year} !~ /^\d+$/) {
        $app->error('BadYear', 'The year must be an integer');
     }
     my $leapyear = ($data{year} % 4 == 0 &&
                     ($data{year} % 100 != 0 ||
                      $data{year} % 400 == 0));
     return $app->response(leapyear => $leapyear ? 1 : 0);
  }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

CAM::SOAPApp is a framework to assist SOAP applications.  This package
abstracts away a lot of the tedious interaction with SOAP and the
application configuration state.  CAM::SOAPApp is a subclass of
CAM::App and therefore inherits all of its handy features.

When you create a class to hold your SOAP methods, that class should
be a subclass of SOAP::Server::Parameters.  It should NOT be a
subclass of CAM::SOAPApp.  If you were to do the latter, then all of
the CAM::App and CAM::SOAPApp methods would be exposed as SOAP
methods, which would be a big security hole, so don't make that
mistake.

=head1 OPTIONS

When loading this module, there are a few different options that can
be selected.  These can be mixed and matched as desired.

=over

=item use CAM::SOAPApp;

This initializes SOAPApp with all of the default SOAP::Lite options.

=item use CAM::SOAPApp (lenient => 1);

This tweaks some SOAP::Lite and environment variables to make the
server work with SOAP-challenged clients.  These tweaks specifically
enable HTTP::CGI and HTTP::Daemon modes for client environments which
don't offer full control over their HTTP channel (like Flash and Apple
Sherlock 3).

Specifically, the tweaks include the following:

=over

=item Content-Type

Sets Content-Type to C if it is not set or is set
incorrectly.

=item SOAPAction

Replaces missing SOAPAction header fields with ''.

=item Charset

Turns off charset output for the Content-Type (i.e. 'text/xml' instead
of 'text/xml; charset=utf-8').

=item HTTP 500

Outputs HTTP 200 instead of HTTP 500 for faults.

=item XML trailing character

Adds a trailing '>' to the XML if one is missing.  This is to correct
a bug in the way Safari 1.0 posts XML from Flash.

=back

=item use CAM::SOAPApp (handle => PACKAGE);

(Experimental!) Kick off the SOAP handler automatically.  This runs
the following code immediately:

  SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI
    -> dispatch_to(PACKAGE)
    -> handle;

Note that you must load PACKAGE before this statement.

=head1 METHODS

=over

=item CAM::SOAPApp->new(soapdata => \@array)

Create a new application instance.  The arguments passed to the SOAP
method should all be passed verbatim to this method as a reference,
less the package reference.  This should be like the following:

  sub myMethod {
     my $pkg = shift;
     my $app = CAM::SOAPApp->new(soapdata => \@_);
     ...
  }

=cut

sub new
{
   my $pkg = shift;
   my %args = @_;

   my $self = $pkg->SUPER::new(cgi => undef, @_);

   my $soapdata = $args{soapdata};
   my $tail = $soapdata->[-1];
   if (eval{ $tail->isa('SOAP::SOM') })
   {
      $self->{envelope} = pop @{$soapdata};  # remove tail from the list
      # get the envelope data, or the empty set
      # Note: method() returns "" on no data, hence the "|| {}" below
      $self->{soapdata} = $self->{envelope}->method() || {};
   }
   else
   {
      if (0 != @{$soapdata} % 2)
      {
         push @{$soapdata}, undef;  # even out the hash key/value pairs
      }
      $self->{soapdata} = {@{$soapdata}};  # copy as hash
   }
   return $self;
}

=item $app->getSOAPData()

Returns a hash of data passed to the application.  This is a massaged
version of the C array passed to new().

=cut

sub getSOAPData
{
   my $self = shift;
   return %{$self->{soapdata}};
}

=item $app->response($key1 => $value1, $key2 => $value2, ...)

Prepare data to return from a SOAP method.  For example:

  sub myMethod {
     ...
     return $app->response(year => 2003, month => 3, date => 26);
  }

yields SOAP XML that looks like this (namespaces and data types
omitted for brevity):




        2003
        3
        26




=cut

sub response
{
   my $self = shift;
   return $self->encodeHash({@_});
}

=item $app->error()

=item $app->error($faultcode)

=item $app->error($faultcode, $faultstring)

=item $app->error($faultcode, $faultstring, $key1 => $value1, $key2 => $value2, ...)

Emit a SOAP fault indicating a failure.  The C should be a
short, computer-readable string (like "Error" or "Denied" or "BadID").
The C should be a human-readable string that explains the
error.  Additional values are encapsulated as C fields for
optional context for the error.  The result of this method will look
like this (namespaces and data types omitted for brevity).




        $faultcode
        $faultstring


            <$key1>$value1
            <$key2>$value2
            ...






=cut

sub error
{
   my $pkg_or_self = shift;
   my $code        = shift || 'Internal';
   my $string      = shift || 'Application Error';
   # rest of args handled below

   my $fault = SOAP::Fault->faultcode($code)->faultstring($string);
   if (@_)
   {
      if (0 != @_ % 2)
      {
         push @_, undef;  # even out the hash key/value pairs
      }
      $fault = $fault->faultdetail(SOAP::Data->name('data' => {@_}));
   }
   die $fault;
   return; # never get here
}

=item $app->encodeHash(\%hash)

This is a helper function used by response() to encode hash data into
a SOAP-friendly array of key-value pairs that are easily transformed
into XML tags by SOAP::Lite.  You should generally use response()
instead of this function unless you have a good reason.

=cut

sub encodeHash
{
   my $pkg_or_self = shift;
   my $data = $_[0];

   return @_ if (!$data);
   return @_ if (!ref $data);
   return @_ if ('HASH' ne ref $data);

   my @out;
   foreach my $key (sort keys %{$data})
   {
      push @out, SOAP::Data->name($key => $data->{$key});
   }
   return @out;
}
