#PySimpleSOAP introduction
The PySimpleSoap Library is transplanted from http://code.google.com/p/pysimplesoap/.And just changed interface base on it. Main function : Have four main modules: client, server, soap msg decode, soap msg encode; Parse the WSDL file.
##PySimpleSOAP structure specificaiton
Main file in PySimpleSOAP
| File name | Main function |
|---|---|
| api.py | Soap message decode |
| client.py | Simulate a client,send request and get response |
| mime.py | Structure MIME part of msg |
| server.py | Pythonic simple SOAP Server implementation,used dispatcher module |
| simplexml.py | Simple XML manipulation,structure xml msg |
| wsdl.py | wsdl parsing module |
api.py: Decode soap message to a dict
- Get content_type from headers
- Get boundary from content_type
- Get body content by splitting body
- Get the xml content
- Sending the xml content to simplexml. SimpleXMLElement, return the dict
client.py: Startup a client and interactive with server
- Handler the arguments
- Structure soap message’s body and header
- Start a client and post the request to server(IMP)
- Get the response from server
- Call api.decode to decode response
mime.py: structure soap message body
- Import uuid module and create boundary base on timestamp
- Write in Content-Type and soap body
- Write in the attachment file
server.py: only introduce SoapDispatcher class
- Simple Dispatcher for SOAP Server
- Corresponding server dispatch by url,soap_action
- Get response operation by dispatch
- Encode Response to xml form and return data.
simplexml.py: structure xml msg according to arguments
wsdl.py: Parse WSDL file
- Parse wsdl file to five variable value (elements, messages, port_types, bindings, services)
