174 <h2 id="whats" name="whats">4. What is SOAP4R?</h2>
175
176 <p>
177 'SOAP4R' is a Ruby library program to handle
178 <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP/">Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) 1.1 (W3C Note)</a>.
179 </p>
180
181 <p>
182 Comments, information such as interoperability between SOAP4R and another implementation are welcomed.
183 Feel free sending mail to
184 <a href="mailto:nakahiro@sarion.co.jp" class="path">nakahiro@sarion.co.jp</a>.
185 </p>
186
187 <h2 id="dependencies" name="dependencies">5. Dependencies</h2>
188
189 <p>
190 SOAP4R depends on below programs:
191 </p>
192
193 <ul>
194 <li>SOAP4R is a
195 <a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org">Ruby</a>
196 library program.
197 You have to install Ruby itself.
198 Ruby/1.6 series are required.
199 It does not works on 1.4 series because of class variable.</li>
200
201 <li>SOAP4R requires a XML processor package installed.
202 For now, one of following XML processor must be installed
203  (SOAP4R automatically detects it in runtime).
204 <ul>
205 <li><a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa-list.rhtml?name=NQXML">NQXML module</a></li>
206 <li><a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa-list.rhtml?name=XMLParser">XMLParser module</a></li>
207 </ul></li>
208 </ul>
209
210 <h2 id="restrictions" name="restrictions">6. Restrictions</h2>
211
212 <p>
213 The following features of the
214 <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP/">SOAP 1.1 (W3C Note)</a>
215 spec are <strong>NOT</strong> currently supported:
216 </p>
217
218 <ul>
219 <li style="margin-top: 2ex;">SOAP Envelope
220 <ul>
221 <li>SOAP actor attribute</li>
222 <li>SOAP mustUnderstand attribute</li>
223 <li>SOAP Fault Codes</li>
224 </ul></li>
225 <li style="margin-top: 2ex;">SOAP Encoding
226 <ul>
227 <li>encoding/decoding using XML Schema;
228 Only xsi:type in SOAP Encoding is checked</li>
229 </ul></li>
230 <li style="margin-top: 2ex;">Othres
231 <ul>
232 <li>Transport binding except HTTP server and client</li>

240 <dt>1.4.1 - December 7, 2001</dt>
241 <dd>SOAP4R/1.4 contained many bugs (as usual...)
242 1.4.1 is a maintenance release.  Some bugs are fixed.
243 Thanks to Michael Neumann.
244
245 <ul>
246 <li>instance_eval in SOAPStruct#add for adding accessor illegaly overrode important methods for SOAP4R such as name, name= and so on.  Removed this instance_eval and rewrote other codes which did depend the code.  Thanks to MNeumann for reporting it and giving a suggestion to fix it.</li>
247 <li>Fixed charset handling.  Illegal charset was set when automatic XML processor detecting.</li>
248 <li>Removed unused code(self.decode) in element.rb.</li>
249 <li>Illegal constant access when SOAP format error.  Fixed.</li>
250 <li>LiteralEncodingNamespace moved to SOAP module.</li>
251 </ul></dd>
252
253
254 <dt>1.4 - December 5, 2001</dt>
255 <dd><ul>
256 <li>Datatypes:
257 <ul>
258 <li>XSDFloat: Bug in rounding double float to single float.  Fixed.</li>
259 <li>SOAPElement: Added for literal encoding.</li>
260 <li>Removed SOAP encoding functions from baseData.  EncondingStyleHandler should decide how to encode SOAP data model. (ie. ASP.NET seems to have its own encoding style.)</li>
261 <li>SOAPHeaderItem: Changed interface for easy use.</li>
262 </ul></li>
263
264 <li>SOAP Encoding:
265 <ul>
266 <li>Encoding by itself, not using NQXML's tree object model.</li>
267 <li>At last, supported multi-ref encoding!</li>
268 <li>marshal.rb: Marshalling with Envelope and Body.  To marshal multi-ref'd object, Body is needed. CAUTION: Not compatible between former implementation.</li>
269 <li>Add EncodingStyleHandlerLiteral and set it to default.</li>
270 <li>Renamed encoding.rb to encodingStyleHandler.rb.</li>
271 <li>Added ASP.NET encoding handler.  ASP.NET seems to use literal encoding (by default) but it is easier with this encodingStyleHandler to access the service which is built with ASP.NET.</li>
272 <li>Changed element name escape.
273 <ul>
274 <li>:: &lt;=&gt; \.\.</li>
275 <li>[^a-zA-Z0-9_-] &lt;=&gt; \.[0-F][0-F]
276 </ul>
277 Limitation: Using SOAP4R's RPC function, you cannot use the name which contains '.' for method name, class/struct name, and accessor name. In Ruby world, it should not be a problem I believe.</li>
278 </ul></li>
279
280 <li>RPC related functions:
281 <ul>
282 <li>Driver: Added 'invoke' method for messaging.</li>
283 <li>Driver: Content of SOAPFault detail element is set in the exception which is thrown from SOAP Node to client application.</li>
284 <li>Processor: Changed Processor.(un|)marshal interface.  An instance of NS for parsing/generating XML instance is prepared in parser/generator.</li>
285 <li>mappingRegistry.rb is devided from rpcUtils.rb.</li>
286 </ul></li>
287 </ul></dd>

293 and Michael Neumann.  Thanks!
294
295 <ul>
296 <li>Datatypes:
297 <ul>
298 <li>XSDFloat: Creating float data from junk string such as "123.0junk" was
299   converted to 0.0.  It should be avoided.  Fixed.</li>
300 <li>XSDFloat: Fixed double -&gt; single rounding code.</li>
301 </ul></li>
302
303 <li>RPC related functions:
304 <ul>
305 <li>Changed typename <=> NCName strategy.  '::' &lt;=&gt; '.'</li>
306 <li>Added mappingRegistry argument to interfaces for SOAP object creation.</li>
307 </ul></li>
308
309 <li>Others:

327 <li>XSDInt/Integer/Long: to_i -&gt; Integer() to detect format error.</li>
328 <li>XSDDateTime, XSDDate, XSDTime: Add trailing 'Z' to indicate UTC.</li>
329 <li>SOAPStruct: Accept untyped struct.</li>
330 <li>Map(Hash): Let &lt;item&gt; untyped.</li>
331 <li>Apache allows only 'item' in Map type.</li>
332 </ul></li>
333

360 </ul></dd>
361
362 <dt>1.3.5 - July 14, 2001</dt>
363 <dd>Many feedbacks from Michael Neumann.

365 Thanks!
366
367 <ul>
368 <li>Changed using URI library: uri -&gt; URb.</li>
369 <li>Types changed:
370   <ul>
371     <li>All: Triming data except XSDString before parsing it.</li>
372     <li>String: Regexp for XML Char check did not work under $KCODE = 'UTF8' condition.  Fixed.</li>
373     <li>Nil: 2001xsd:nil must not accept a value '1'.  1999xsd:null must not accept a value 'true' because these are not a boolean but only a flag for nil.  Fixed.</li>
374   </ul>
375 </li>
376
377 <li>Supported XML parser:
378   <ul>
379     <li>Added automatic CES conversion support for NQXMLParser.
380         (Depends on uconv module).
381         Set $KCODE for regexps used in NQXML parser.</li>
382     <li>Moved SOAPNQXML*Parser to nqxmlparser.rb.</li>
383   </ul>

390     <li>Void return if 'retval' is not defined.</li>
391     <li>Added SOAP's Long type to default mapping table.</li>
392   </ul>
393 </li>
394 </ul></dd>
395
396 <dt>1.3.4.2 - July 11, 2001</dt>
397 <dd>SOAP4R/1.3.4 was once packed in July 10, 2001.
398 But, thanks to MNeumann and knu,
399 I found I had forgotten to pack 'redist' directory with it.
400 I added some fix from developing version and repack it as 1.3.4.2.
401 Sorry for frequently release...
402 <br/><br/>
403
404 Feedback from
405 <a href="http://www.xmethods.net/ilab/">`SOAPBuilders Interoperability Lab.'</a>
406 and Michael Neumann.  Thanks!
407
408 <ul>
409 <li>Added in 1.3.4.2:
410   <ul>
411     <li>Type Decimal: Silly bug fixed.  0.0001 was converted to 0.1</li>
412     <li>CGIStub returns HTTP status 500 when returning SOAP Fault.
413         Returned 200 because I don't like this spec., but SOAP/1.2 W3C WD
414         9 July 2001 have adopted it.  Hmm...</li>
415     <li>RPC client(driver.rb): Exception#set_backtrace was omitted when transmitting exception by SOAP Fault.</li>
416   </ul>
417 </li>
418 <li>Types changed:
419   <ul>
420     <li>Array: Incomplete sparse array support.  Fixed.</li>
421     <li>Date: Added.</li>
422     <li>Time: Added.</li>
423     <li>DateTime: Added precision of time support.</li>
424     <li>String: Default data should not be nil but ''.</li>
425     <li>Nil: Attribute value of xsi:nil might be '1' instead of 'true'.  Fixed.</li>
426   </ul>
427 </li>
428
429 <li>Supported XML parser:
430   <ul>
431     <li>Added SOAPXMLParser and SOAPSAXDriver for XMLParser which uses expat.
432         You can get the module from RAA: <a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa-list.rhtml?name=XMLParser">XMLParser module</a>.<br/>
433         To use XMLParser -&gt; add &quot;require 'soap/xmlparser'&quot;.<br/>
434         To use SAX driver of XMLParser -&gt; add &quot;require 'soap/saxdriver'&quot;.<br/>
435         To use NQXMLParser -&gt; nothing to do.<br/>
436         FYI:
437         <ul>
438           <li>XMLParser version is faster than others</li>
439           <li>SAXDriver version is extremely slow</li>
440           <li>NQXMLParser version is somewhat slower than XMLParser version</li>
441           <li>XMLParser is a Ruby extension module; To use it, you must compile and install it.</li>
442           <li>So far, automatic code conversion support is for XMLParser and SAXDriver.  See below.</li>
443         </ul>
444     </li>
445     <li>Added automatic CES conversion support: UTF-8 &lt;-&gt; EUC, SJIS.
446         Requires Uconv module.  Works with XMLParser module only now.</li>
447     <li>Added XMLDecl for CES.</li>
448   </ul>
449 </ul></dd>

516 <dt>1.3.0 - May 20, 2001</dt>
517 <dd><ul>
518 <li>Adopted
519 <a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa-list.rhtml?name=NQXML">NQXML module</a>
520 instead of XMLParser module extensively.
521 (You can implement your SOAP parser with XMLParser module.
522 See the last part of lib/soap/parser.rb)
523 <ul>
524 <li>Use NQXML's streamingParser or tokenizer instead of XMLParser's DOMParser for unmarshalling.</li>
525 <li>Use NQXML's document instead of XMLParser's DOM for marshalling.</li>
526 </ul></li>
527 <li>Passed major(?) part of inteoperability test in
528 <a href="http://www.xmethods.net/ilab/">`SOAPBuilders Interoperability Lab.'</a>
529 See test/interop/README.txt.</li>
530 <li>Changed module namespace.  SOAPFoo -> SOAP::Foo.</li>
531 <li>Added float datatype support.</li>
532 <li>Changed dateTime marshalling format.  No timezone was added to marshalled string  because SOAP4R does not support timezone now.</li>
533 </ul></dd>
534
535 <dt>1.2.0 - March 30, 2001</dt>
536 <dd>Checked interoperability with
537 <a href="http://xml.apache.org/soap/">Apache-SOAP</a>,
538 <a href="http://www.pocketsoap.com">pocketSOAP/0.91</a>,
539 <a href="http://www.geocities.com/paulclinger/soap.html">SOAP::Lite for Perl</a>,
540 and <a href="http://www.develop.com/soap/">SOAP/Perl/0.28</a>.
541 It seems to work good except SOAP/Perl/0.28.
542
543 <ul>
544 <li>Added href/id unmarshalling support.
545 (href/id marshalling has not been supported yet)</li>
546 <li>Added SOAP's base64 type support.</li>
547 <li>SOAPTimeInstant -&gt; SOAPDateTime.  Following XML Schema PR.</li>
548 <li>SOAPStruct can have multiple accessor which have same name.
549 Should I separate it from original SOAPStruct?</li>
550 <li>Unknown attribute in Header Item raised an exception.  Omitted.</li>
551 <li>Router can handle methods which belong to different namespace.</li>
552 <li>Added an option to allow unqualified SOAP element.</li>
553 <li>Added Apache's Map type support.  Ruby's Hash are mapped to it now.
554 (Ruby's Hash marshalled by 1.1 processor in the old way can be unmarshalled,
555 but 1.2 processor marshals it in the new way and 1.1 processor does not
556 unmarshals it into Hash.  Incompatibility between SOAP4R/1.2 and 1.1)</li>
557 <li>Unknown type 'unknown:SOAPStruct' was incorrectly unmarshalled into SOAPStruct.  Fixed.</li>
558 <li>Added utility methods map! and members to SOAPArray and SOAPStruct.</li>
559 <li>Added methods request, response, and fault to SOAPBody.</li>
560 </ul></dd>
561
562 <dt>1.1.0 - March 23, 2001</dt>
563 <dd>Made many changes.
564 Since it is tested only for my limited use, please be careful to use.
565 Any comments especially "cannot connect to XXX implementation" are welcomed.
566 Feel free sending mail to
567 <a href="mailto:nakahiro@sarion.co.jp" class="path">nakahiro@sarion.co.jp</a>.
568
569 <ul>
570 <li>Added RPC server support.</li>
571 <li>Divided RPC client/server implementation from core.</li>
572 <li>Added Date, Hash type support. (Unknown type is converted to Struct as usual)</li>
573 <li>Adopted Date in date3.rb by Funaba-san instead of Time as TimeInstant.</li>
574 <li>Many encoding/decoding bugs around SOAPArray and SOAPStruct were fixed.</li>
575 </ul></dd>
576
577 <dt>1.0.2 - November 11, 2000</dt>
578 <dd>Since the previous package dated, refreshes some points.

585 <dt>1.0.1 - July 27, 2000</dt>
586 <dd>Handles SOAP/1.1 arrays.
587 1.0.0 cannot handles SOAP/1.1 arrays...
588 Bare in mind there still be many
589 <a href="#restrictions">restrictions</a>
590 around SOAP arrays.</dd>
591
592 <dt>1.0.0 - July 17, 2000</dt>
