51 <h2 id="changes" name="changes">1. Changes</h2>
52
53 <p>
54 Many changes around Ruby language mapping for SOAP.
55 I replaced DRb's marshalling format with SOAP marshalling and it passed
56 about all unit test packed in DRb package.
57 Only test failed was regards to packet size.
58 You might be able to use SOAP::Marshal.(un|)marshal for serializing objects
59 instead of Marshal.(load|dump).
60 </p>
61
62 <ul>
63 <li>Illegal decoding of a position-less element after position-ed element.  Fixed.</li>
64 <li>Add Rubytype encoding/decoding support: Regexp, Class, Module and Symbol.</li>
65 <li>Added an option of MappingRegistry to raise an exception when unknown Struct.
66 The option is set 'false' by default so that same behaviour as before.</li>
67 </ul>

176 <h2 id="whats" name="whats">4. What is SOAP4R?</h2>
177
178 <p>
179 'SOAP4R' is a Ruby library program to handle
180 <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP/">Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) 1.1 (W3C Note)</a>.
181 </p>
182
183 <p>
184 Comments, information such as interoperability between SOAP4R and another implementation are welcomed.
185 Feel free sending mail to
186 <a href="mailto:nakahiro@sarion.co.jp" class="path">nakahiro@sarion.co.jp</a>.
187 </p>
188
189 <h2 id="dependencies" name="dependencies">5. Dependencies</h2>
190
191 <p>
192 SOAP4R depends on below programs:
193 </p>
194
195 <ul>
196 <li>SOAP4R is a
197 <a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org">Ruby</a>
198 library program.
199 You have to install Ruby itself.
200 Ruby/1.6 series are required.
201 It does not works on 1.4 series because of class variable.</li>
202
203 <li>SOAP4R requires a XML processor package installed.
204 For now, one of following XML processor must be installed
205  (SOAP4R automatically detects it in runtime).
206 <ul>
207 <li><a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa-list.rhtml?name=NQXML">NQXML module</a></li>
208 <li><a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa-list.rhtml?name=XMLParser">XMLParser module</a></li>

213
214 <p>
215 The following features of the
216 <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP/">SOAP 1.1 (W3C Note)</a>
217 spec are <strong>NOT</strong> currently supported:
218 </p>
219
220 <ul>
221 <li style="margin-top: 2ex;">SOAP Envelope
222 <ul>
223 <li>SOAP actor attribute</li>

226 </ul></li>
227 <li style="margin-top: 2ex;">SOAP Encoding
228 <ul>
229 <li>encoding/decoding using XML Schema;
230 Only xsi:type in SOAP Encoding is checked</li>
231 </ul></li>
232 <li style="margin-top: 2ex;">Othres
233 <ul>
234 <li>Transport binding except HTTP server and client</li>

242 <dt>1.4.2 - December 28, 2001</dt>
243 <dd>
244 Many changes around Ruby language mapping for SOAP.
245 I replaced DRb's marshalling format with SOAP marshalling and it passed
246 about all unit test packed in DRb package.
247 Only test failed was regards to packet size.
248 You might be able to use SOAP::Marshal.(un|)marshal for serializing objects
249 instead of Marshal.(load|dump).
250
251 <ul>
252 <li>Illegal decoding of a position-less element after position-ed element.  Fixed.</li>
253 <li>Add Rubytype encoding/decoding support: Regexp, Class, Module and Symbol.</li>
254 <li>Added an option of MappingRegistry to raise an exception when unknown Struct.
255 The option is set 'false' by default so that same behaviour as before.</li>
256 </ul></dd>
257
258 <dt>1.4.1 - December 7, 2001</dt>
259 <dd>SOAP4R/1.4 contained many bugs (as usual...)
260 1.4.1 is a maintenance release.  Some bugs are fixed.
261 Thanks to Michael Neumann.
262
263 <ul>
264 <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>
265 <li>Fixed charset handling.  Illegal charset was set when automatic XML processor detecting.</li>
266 <li>Removed unused code(self.decode) in element.rb.</li>
267 <li>Illegal constant access when SOAP format error.  Fixed.</li>
268 <li>LiteralEncodingNamespace moved to SOAP module.</li>
269 </ul></dd>
270
271
272 <dt>1.4 - December 5, 2001</dt>
273 <dd><ul>
274 <li>Datatypes:
275 <ul>
276 <li>XSDFloat: Bug in rounding double float to single float.  Fixed.</li>
277 <li>SOAPElement: Added for literal encoding.</li>
278 <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>
279 <li>SOAPHeaderItem: Changed interface for easy use.</li>
280 </ul></li>
281
282 <li>SOAP Encoding:
283 <ul>
284 <li>Encoding by itself, not using NQXML's tree object model.</li>
285 <li>At last, supported multi-ref encoding!</li>
286 <li>marshal.rb: Marshalling with Envelope and Body.  To marshal multi-ref'd object, Body is needed. CAUTION: Not compatible between former implementation.</li>
287 <li>Add EncodingStyleHandlerLiteral and set it to default.</li>
288 <li>Renamed encoding.rb to encodingStyleHandler.rb.</li>
289 <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>
290 <li>Changed element name escape.
291 <ul>
292 <li>:: &lt;=&gt; \.\.</li>
293 <li>[^a-zA-Z0-9_-] &lt;=&gt; \.[0-F][0-F]
294 </ul>
295 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>
296 </ul></li>
297
298 <li>RPC related functions:
299 <ul>
300 <li>Driver: Added 'invoke' method for messaging.</li>
301 <li>Driver: Content of SOAPFault detail element is set in the exception which is thrown from SOAP Node to client application.</li>
302 <li>Processor: Changed Processor.(un|)marshal interface.  An instance of NS for parsing/generating XML instance is prepared in parser/generator.</li>
303 <li>mappingRegistry.rb is devided from rpcUtils.rb.</li>
304 </ul></li>
305 </ul></dd>

311 and Michael Neumann.  Thanks!
312
313 <ul>
314 <li>Datatypes:
315 <ul>
316 <li>XSDFloat: Creating float data from junk string such as "123.0junk" was
317   converted to 0.0.  It should be avoided.  Fixed.</li>
318 <li>XSDFloat: Fixed double -&gt; single rounding code.</li>
319 </ul></li>

378 </ul></dd>
379
380 <dt>1.3.5 - July 14, 2001</dt>
381 <dd>Many feedbacks from Michael Neumann.

383 Thanks!
384
385 <ul>
386 <li>Changed using URI library: uri -&gt; URb.</li>
387 <li>Types changed:
388   <ul>
389     <li>All: Triming data except XSDString before parsing it.</li>
390     <li>String: Regexp for XML Char check did not work under $KCODE = 'UTF8' condition.  Fixed.</li>
391     <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>
392   </ul>
393 </li>
394
395 <li>Supported XML parser:
396   <ul>
397     <li>Added automatic CES conversion support for NQXMLParser.
398         (Depends on uconv module).
399         Set $KCODE for regexps used in NQXML parser.</li>
400     <li>Moved SOAPNQXML*Parser to nqxmlparser.rb.</li>
401   </ul>

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

533
534 <dt>1.3.0 - May 20, 2001</dt>
535 <dd><ul>
536 <li>Adopted
537 <a href="http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/raa-list.rhtml?name=NQXML">NQXML module</a>
538 instead of XMLParser module extensively.
539 (You can implement your SOAP parser with XMLParser module.
540 See the last part of lib/soap/parser.rb)
541 <ul>
542 <li>Use NQXML's streamingParser or tokenizer instead of XMLParser's DOMParser for unmarshalling.</li>
543 <li>Use NQXML's document instead of XMLParser's DOM for marshalling.</li>
544 </ul></li>
545 <li>Passed major(?) part of inteoperability test in
546 <a href="http://www.xmethods.net/ilab/">`SOAPBuilders Interoperability Lab.'</a>
547 See test/interop/README.txt.</li>
548 <li>Changed module namespace.  SOAPFoo -> SOAP::Foo.</li>
549 <li>Added float datatype support.</li>
550 <li>Changed dateTime marshalling format.  No timezone was added to marshalled string  because SOAP4R does not support timezone now.</li>
551 </ul></dd>
552
553 <dt>1.2.0 - March 30, 2001</dt>
554 <dd>Checked interoperability with
555 <a href="http://xml.apache.org/soap/">Apache-SOAP</a>,
556 <a href="http://www.pocketsoap.com">pocketSOAP/0.91</a>,
557 <a href="http://www.geocities.com/paulclinger/soap.html">SOAP::Lite for Perl</a>,
558 and <a href="http://www.develop.com/soap/">SOAP/Perl/0.28</a>.
559 It seems to work good except SOAP/Perl/0.28.
560
561 <ul>
562 <li>Added href/id unmarshalling support.
563 (href/id marshalling has not been supported yet)</li>
564 <li>Added SOAP's base64 type support.</li>
565 <li>SOAPTimeInstant -&gt; SOAPDateTime.  Following XML Schema PR.</li>
566 <li>SOAPStruct can have multiple accessor which have same name.
567 Should I separate it from original SOAPStruct?</li>
568 <li>Unknown attribute in Header Item raised an exception.  Omitted.</li>
569 <li>Router can handle methods which belong to different namespace.</li>
570 <li>Added an option to allow unqualified SOAP element.</li>
571 <li>Added Apache's Map type support.  Ruby's Hash are mapped to it now.
572 (Ruby's Hash marshalled by 1.1 processor in the old way can be unmarshalled,
573 but 1.2 processor marshals it in the new way and 1.1 processor does not
574 unmarshals it into Hash.  Incompatibility between SOAP4R/1.2 and 1.1)</li>
575 <li>Unknown type 'unknown:SOAPStruct' was incorrectly unmarshalled into SOAPStruct.  Fixed.</li>
576 <li>Added utility methods map! and members to SOAPArray and SOAPStruct.</li>
577 <li>Added methods request, response, and fault to SOAPBody.</li>
578 </ul></dd>
579
580 <dt>1.1.0 - March 23, 2001</dt>
581 <dd>Made many changes.
582 Since it is tested only for my limited use, please be careful to use.
583 Any comments especially "cannot connect to XXX implementation" are welcomed.
584 Feel free sending mail to
585 <a href="mailto:nakahiro@sarion.co.jp" class="path">nakahiro@sarion.co.jp</a>.
586
587 <ul>
588 <li>Added RPC server support.</li>
589 <li>Divided RPC client/server implementation from core.</li>
590 <li>Added Date, Hash type support. (Unknown type is converted to Struct as usual)</li>
591 <li>Adopted Date in date3.rb by Funaba-san instead of Time as TimeInstant.</li>
592 <li>Many encoding/decoding bugs around SOAPArray and SOAPStruct were fixed.</li>
593 </ul></dd>
594
595 <dt>1.0.2 - November 11, 2000</dt>
596 <dd>Since the previous package dated, refreshes some points.

604 <dd>Handles SOAP/1.1 arrays.
605 1.0.0 cannot handles SOAP/1.1 arrays...
606 Bare in mind there still be many
607 <a href="#restrictions">restrictions</a>
608 around SOAP arrays.</dd>
609
610 <dt>1.0.0 - July 17, 2000</dt>
