SOAP::WSDL::Manual::WS_I(3p)

NAME
SOAP::WSDL::Manual::WS_I - How SOAP::WSDL complies to WS-I Basic Profile 1.0

DESCRIPTION
This document gives an overview about how SOAP::WSDL confirms to the rules of the WS-I Basic Profile 1.0 found at <http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/BasicProfile-1.0-2004-04-16.html>

Errata are not yet worked in.

You may find rules mis-categorized, especially in the "not applicable" section.

Such mis-categorizations are documentation bugs, please feel free to report them.

Rules are categorized into the following sections:

•   RULES CONFIRMED

    This section contains rules SOAP::WSDL follows. Conformance to these rules may be assured by a test.

•   RULES NOT CONFIRMED

    This section contains rules SOAP::WSDL does not follow yet. These may be considered as bugs.

•   RULES NOT APPLICABLE

    WS-I Basic Profile contains rules for web services as a whole. SOAP::WSDL only plays the part of one layer in a Web Service CONSUMER / RECEIVER, thus does not implement some parts the WS-I Basic Profile references.

    This section contains rules not applicable for SOAP::WSDL, because they refer to parts SOAP::WSDL does not implement.

RULES CONFIRMED

  R1005
 A MESSAGE MUST NOT contain soap:encodingStyle attributes on any of the elements
 whose namespace name is "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/".

SOAP::WSDL::Serializer::SOAP11 does not add soap:encodingStyle attributes on any element.

  R1006
 A MESSAGE MUST NOT contain soap:encodingStyle attributes on any element that is
 a child of soap:Body.

SOAP::WSDL::Serializer::SOAP11 does not add soap:encodingStyle attributes on any element.

  R1008
 A MESSAGE MUST NOT contain a Document Type Declaration.

SOAP::WSDL::Serializer::SOAP11 does not add DTDs.

  R1009
 A MESSAGE MUST NOT contain Processing Instructions.

SOAP::WSDL::Serializer::SOAP11 does not add Processing Instructions

  R1010
 A RECEIVER MUST accept messages that contain an XML Declaration.

SOAP::WSDL::Expat::MessageParser allows the use of XML Declarations.

  R1011
 A MESSAGE MUST NOT have any element children of soap:Envelope following
 the soap:Body element.

SOAP::WSDL::Serializer::SOAP11 does not emit children of soap:Envelope following the soap:Body element. Other serializers may behave different.

  R1012
 A MESSAGE MUST be serialized as either UTF-8 or UTF-16.

SOAP::WSDL::Serializer::SOAP11 serializes messages as UTF-8.

  R1018
 The media type of a MESSAGE's envelope MUST indicate the correct character
 encoding, using the charset parameter.

SOAP::WSDL::Transport::HTTP sets the Content-type header to "text/xml; charset=utf8". SOAP::Transport does, too. Other transport backends may behave different.

  R1014
 The children of the soap:Body element in a MESSAGE MUST be namespace
 qualified.

SOAP::WSDL::Serializer::SOAP11 emits namespace-qualified child elements of the soap:Body element.

  R1017
 A RECEIVER MUST NOT mandate the use of the xsi:type attribute in messages
 except as required in order to indicate a derived type (see XML Schema
 Part 1: Structures, Section 2.6.1).

SOAP::WSDL::Expat::MessageParser does not require the use of xsi:type attributes, but uses typemaps instead.

Other deserializers may not comply to this rule.

  R1028
 When a Fault is generated by a RECEIVER, further processing SHOULD NOT be
 performed on the SOAP message aside from that which is necessary to rollback,
 or compensate for, any effects of processing the message prior to the
 generation of the Fault.

A fault is generated when an error occurs processing the message. SOAP::WSDL::Deserializer::SOAP11 does not perform any additional processing after an error occured.

  R1029
 Where the normal outcome of processing a SOAP message would have resulted
 in the transmission of a SOAP response, but rather a SOAP Fault is generated
 instead, a RECEIVER MUST transmit a SOAP Fault message in place of the
 response.

A fault is generated when an error occurs processing the message.

  R1030
 A RECEIVER that generates a SOAP Fault SHOULD notify the end user that a
 SOAP Fault has been generated when practical, by whatever means is deemed
 appropriate to the circumstance.

Via return value.

  R1140
 A MESSAGE SHOULD be sent using HTTP/1.1.

SOAP::WSDL::Transport::HTTP uses HTTP/1.1

  R1141
 A MESSAGE MUST be sent using either HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/1.0.

SOAP::WSDL::Transport::HTTP uses HTTP/1.1

  R1107
 A RECEIVER MUST interpret SOAP messages containing only a soap:Fault element
 as a Fault.

SOAP::WSDL::Deserializer::SOAP11 does this.

  R1132
 A HTTP request MESSAGE MUST use the HTTP POST method.

Both SOAP::WSDL::Transport::HTTP and SOAP::Transport::HTTP use POST.

  R1108
 A MESSAGE MUST NOT use the HTTP Extension Framework (RFC2774).

SOAP::WSDL::Transport::HTTP does not use the HTTP Extension framework, however SOAP::Transport::HTTP use M-POST if POST was not successful.

To be sure you comply to this rule, use SOAP::WSDL::Transport::HTTP as transport backend.

  R1109
 The value of the SOAPAction HTTP header field in a HTTP request
 MESSAGE MUST be a quoted string.

SOAP::WSDL::Client always quotes the SOAPAction header.

  R1119
 A RECEIVER MAY respond with a Fault if the value of the SOAPAction
 HTTP header field is not quoted.

SOAP::WSDL does not apply any processing on the SOAPAction header field.

  R1131
 A CONSUMER MAY automatically redirect a request when it encounters a
 "307 Temporary Redirect" HTTP status code in a response.

LWP::UserAgent (used by SOAP::WSDL::Transport::HTTP and SOAP::Transport::HTTP) accepts up to 7 levels of redirect by default.

  R2113
 A MESSAGE containing serialized arrays MUST NOT include the
 soapenc:arrayType attribute.

SOAP::WSDL does not natively support soapenc::arrayType.

  R2114
 The target namespace for WSDL definitions and the target namespace for
 schema definitions in a DESCRIPTION MAY be the same.

SOAP::WSDL does not impose any constraints on the target namespace for WSDL definitions or schema definitions.

  R2301
 The order of the elements in the soap:body of a MESSAGE MUST be the same
 as that of the wsdl:parts in the wsdl:message that describes it.

SOAP::WSDL obeys the part order.

  R2712
 A document-literal binding MUST be represented on the wire as a
 MESSAGE with a soap:Body whose child element is an instance of the
 global element declaration referenced by the corresponding wsdl:message
 part.

If defined accordingly in the DESCRIPTION, SOAP::WSDL issues document-literal binding operation MESSAGES conforming to this rule.

  R2748
 A CONSUMER MUST NOT interpret the presence of the wsdl:required attribute
 on a soapbind extension element with a value of "false" to mean the extension
 element is optional in the messages generated from the WSDL description.

SOAP::WSDL does not imterpret the wsdl:required attribute at all.

  R5000
 An INSTANCE MAY require the use of HTTPS.

SOAP::WSDL supports https.

  R5010
 An INSTANCE MAY require the use of HTTPS with mutual authentication.

SOAP::WSDL supports all kinds of authentication known to LWP::UserAgent

  R2742
 A MESSAGE MAY contain a fault detail entry in a SOAP fault that is not
 described by a wsdl:fault element in the corresponding WSDL description.

SOAP::WSDL does not emit such faults. Such faults can be processed by adding custom maps to the type maps for SOAP::WSDL::Expat::MessageParser.

  R2744
 A HTTP request MESSAGE MUST contain a SOAPAction HTTP header field with a
 quoted value equal to the value of the soapAction attribute of
 soapbind:operation, if present in the corresponding WSDL description.

SOAP::WSDL uses the soapAction attribute from soapbind:operation as SOAPAction header in generated code.

Alternative WSDL parsers / code generator have to assure they pass the correct soap_action to SOAP::WSDL::Client.

The interpreting SOAP::WSDL client does not conform to this rule, but "guesses" the SOAPAction header from the operation name and the top node's namespace.

  R2745
 A HTTP request MESSAGE MUST contain a SOAPAction HTTP header field with a
 quoted empty string value, if in the corresponding WSDL description, the
 soapAction of soapbind:operation is either not present, or present with an
 empty string as its value.

SOAP::WSDL::Client always assures the SOAPaction header is quoted, thus automatically inserts the empty string if no SOAPAction header is defined.

  R1015
 A RECEIVER MUST generate a fault if they encounter a message whose document
 element has a local name of "Envelope" but a namespace name that is not
 "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/".

SOAP::WSDL::Expat::MessageParser checks the namespace of the SOAP envelope.

SOAP::WSDL::Expat::MessageParser does not check that Envelope is the root element, yet.

  R1110
 An INSTANCE MAY accept connections on TCP port 80 (HTTP)

SOAP::WSDL::Server::CGI may be used in a web server listening at port 80.

  R1124
 An INSTANCE MUST use a 2xx HTTP status code for responses that
 indicate a successful outcome of a request.

SOAP::WSDL::Server::CGI sends a 2xx HTTP status code for successful requests.

  R1111
 An INSTANCE SHOULD use a "200 OK" HTTP status code for responses
 that contain a SOAP message that is not a SOAP fault.

SOAP::WSDL::Server::CGI does this.

  R1112
 An INSTANCE SHOULD use either a "200 OK" or "202 Accepted" HTTP
 status code for a response that does do not contain a SOAP message
 but indicates successful HTTP outcome of a request.

SOAP::WSDL::Server::CGI does this.

  R1130
 An INSTANCE MUST use HTTP status code "307 Temporary Redirect"
 when redirecting a request to a different endpoint.

SOAP::WSDL::Server::CGI has no means of redirecting. The web server running a SOAP::WSDL::Server::CGI script is responsible for redirecting with a 307 HTTP status code.

  R1125
 An INSTANCE MUST use a 4xx HTTP status code for responses that indicate
 a problem with the format of the request.

SOAP::WSDL does this.

  R1113
 An INSTANCE SHOULD use a "400 Bad Request "HTTP status code, if the
 request message is a malformed HTTP request, or not well-formed XML.

SOAP::WSDL does this.

  R1114
 An INSTANCE SHOULD use a "405 Method not Allowed" HTTP status code if the
 request method was not "POST".

SOAP::WSDL does this.

  R1115
 An INSTANCE SHOULD use a "415 Unsupported Media Type" HTTP status code if
 the Content-Type HTTP request header did not have a value consistent with
 the value specified for the corresponding binding of the input message.

SOAP::WSDL::Server::CGI does not support any content type other than text/xml and application/xml yet.

RULES NOT CONFIRMED

SOAP::WSDL does not act as a server, yet.

  R2727
 For one-way operations, a CONSUMER MUST NOT interpret a successful
 HTTP response status code (i.e., 2xx) to mean the message is valid
 or that the receiver would process it.

SOAP::WSDL regards a successful HTTP status code for a one-way operation as an acknowledgement of the RECEIVER having receive (not processed!) the message.

SOAP::WSDL makes no assumptions about the processing of SOAP messages, but higher level clients may do.

  R2716
 A document-literal binding in a DESCRIPTION MUST NOT have the
 namespace attribute specified on contained soapbind:body,
 soapbind:header, soapbind:headerfault and soapbind:fault elements.

 An rpc-literal binding in a DESCRIPTION MUST have the namespace attribute
 specified, the value of which MUST be an absolute URI, on
 contained soapbind:body elements.

SOAP::WSDL has no means of generating WSDL definitions.

  R2726
 An rpc-literal binding in a DESCRIPTION MUST NOT have the namespace
 attribute specified on contained soapbind:header, soapbind:headerfault

 schema type of "NMTOKEN" on all contained soapbind:header and
 soapbind:headerfault elements.

  R2749
 A wsdl:binding in a DESCRIPTION MUST NOT use the attribute named parts on
 contained soapbind:header and soapbind:headerfault elements.

  R2721

 MUST match the value of the name attribute on its parent wsdl:fault element.

  R2722
 A wsdl:binding in a DESCRIPTION MAY specify the use attribute on contained
 soapbind:fault elements.

  R2723
 If in a wsdl:binding in a DESCRIPTION the use attribute on a contained
 soapbind:fault element is present, its value MUST be "literal".

  R2728
 A wsdl:binding in a DESCRIPTION that omits the use attribute on a contained
 soapbind:fault element MUST be interpreted as though use="literal" had been
 specified.

  R2724
 If an INSTANCE receives a message that is inconsistent with its WSDL
 description, it SHOULD generate a soap:Fault with a faultcode of "Client",
 unless a "MustUnderstand" or "VersionMismatch" fault is generated.

  R2725
 If an INSTANCE receives a message that is inconsistent with its WSDL
 description, it MUST check for "VersionMismatch", "MustUnderstand" and
 "Client" fault conditions in that order.

  R2729
 A MESSAGE described with an rpc-literal binding that is a response message
 MUST have a wrapper element whose name is the corresponding wsdl:operation
 name suffixed with the string "Response".

  R2735
 A MESSAGE described with an rpc-literal binding MUST place the part accessor
 elements for parameters and return value in no namespace.

  R2737

 children of part accessor elements for the parameters and the return value
 with the targetNamespace in which their types are defined.

  R2738
 A MESSAGE MUST include all soapbind:headers specified on a wsdl:input or
 wsdl:output of a wsdl:operation of a wsdl:binding that describes it.

  R2739

 wsdl:binding that describes it.

  R2753
 A MESSAGE containing SOAP header blocks that are not described in the
 appropriate wsdl:binding MAY have the mustUnderstand attribute on such SOAP
 header blocks set to '1'.

  R2751

 DESCRIPTION MUST be considered independent of the order of SOAP header blocks
 in the message.

  R2752
 A MESSAGE MAY contain more than one instance of each SOAP header block for
 each soapbind:header element in the appropriate child of soapbind:binding in
 the corresponding description.

  R2801
 A DESCRIPTION MUST use XML Schema 1.0 Recommendation as the basis of user
 defined datatypes and structures.

  R3100
 REGDATA of type uddi:bindingTemplate representing a conformant INSTANCE MUST
 contain the uddi:accessPoint element.

  R3002
 REGDATA of type uddi:tModel representing a conformant Web service type MUST
 use WSDL as the description language.

  R3003
 REGDATA of type uddi:tModel representing a conformant Web service type MUST be
 categorized using the uddi:types taxonomy and a categorization of "wsdlSpec".

  R3010
 REGDATA of type uddi:tModel representing a conformant Web service type MUST
 follow V1.08 of the UDDI Best Practice for Using WSDL in a UDDI Registry.

  R3011
