Subject:

Interface-Operation POD template does not handle empty method replies

Hi, I think I have identified an issue where Interface/POD/Operation.tt fails to work against methods whose reply messages don't contain any fields. For example, I am working against https://provisioning.fetchtv.com.au/provisioning/ws/service.wsdl which defines a method response element like this: <xsd:element name="activateTerminalResponse" type="tns:activateTerminalResponse" /> When generating POD documentation, Operation.tt tries to load the first response part and document it, If there is no first response part because the message is empty, an error such as 'undef error - no node' occurs as the template tries to access it. The attached file fixes the problem by handling the case of a method reply which contains no parts. It tests the first member of the parts array and documents the method response as empty if the part is not present. I am running perl v5.8.8 on Debian with CPAN's current version of SOAP::WSDL (2.00.10)

Hi, i solved the probem by following change on wsdl2perl: diff /usr/bin/wsdl2perl.pl wsdl2perl.pl 122d121 < 152,153c151,152 < $generator->generate_interface() if ! $opt{server}; < $generator->generate_server() if $opt{server}; --- Show quoted text

> $generator->generate_interface({ NO_POD => 1 }) if ! $opt{server}; > $generator->generate_server({ NO_POD => 1 }) if $opt{server};

Hi Palik, and thanks for your attention. True, disabling POD generation would certainly work around the issue, at the expense of the documentation functionality. This could be useful for some people to know if they need to get something working in a hurry. It seems to me, however, the ideal scenario would be if the templates could handle this circumstance, such as the altered Operation.tt in my original report. - Tim On 14/11/2011 8:48 PM, A.
