Package: python-soappy Version: 0.12.0-4 Severity: normal
I was able to debug and successfully use an apache cxf webservice from a soappy client. There were 3 distinct tricks I had to use and so I figured to document the tricks to a public place in case anybody else is interested The first observation is that for methods not containing any input everything works as advertised The problem starts when you want to actually pass any parameters. In that case you have to: 1) specify the namespace 2) use the patch below to enable the namespace per argument support 3) if the medhod has multiple parameters you have to specify the correct ordering here are the steps in an example #!/usr/bin/python import SOAPpy ns1="http://iface.ws.lib.biovista.com/"; server = SOAPpy.SOAPProxy("http://srv-eu.biovista.com/ws/BEAService", namespace=ns1); # step 1 print server.getAvailableTypes(); print server.getText(pubmed_id=1233); #server.config.dumpSOAPOut = 1; #server.config.dumpSOAPIn = 1; server.config.argsOrdering = {'getBibliography': ['name', 'type', 'max_results']}; # step 3 print server.getBibliography(name="il-6", type="Gene", max_results=4); ----------------- patch to SOAPpy ----------------------- # step 2 --- SOAPBuilder.py.orig 2009-04-08 12:00:34.000000000 +0300 +++ SOAPBuilder.py 2009-04-08 13:23:02.000000000 +0300 @@ -316,6 +316,8 @@ tag = tag or self.gentag() + if self.namespace: + tag = ns_map.get(self.namespace) + ":" + tag tag = toXMLname(tag) # convert from SOAP 1.2 XML name encoding a = n = t = '' -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=el_GR, LC_CTYPE=el_GR (charmap=ISO-8859-7) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages python-soappy depends on: ii python-fpconst 0.7.2-4 Utilities for handling IEEE 754 fl ii python-support 0.8.7 automated rebuilding support for P python-soappy recommends no packages. python-soappy suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
