Name

SOAP_WSDL_IMPORT

Synopsis

array DB.DBA. SOAP_WSDL_IMPORT ( in target_url varchar );

Description

The soap_wsdl_import() function is used to import operations and types definitions from an WSDL file on a remote server. The retrieved file will be parsed and PL (procedure language) wrappers will be generated for each SOAP operation that is described. The SOAP service will be represented by a PL module which will be the overall container the generated PL wrappers. Once the WSDL file has been imported the PL wrappers are automatically generated and available for use.

Parameters

target_url

A URL to a WSDL file.

Return Types

soap_wsdl_import() returns an array that consists of the name of module, the name of PL wrapper, and a vector of parameter name/type pairs. An example of the result is: vector ([module name], [wrapper1], vector ([param1], [type1], [param2], [tyep2] ...), [wrapper2] vector (...))
