  • 0

My SOAP server is (intended to be) setup with three operations: login, logout, and version.

The login function’s code is currently “faking” it at the moment, accepting two parameters, a username and password, automatically “authenticating” them by storing them in the function class’ private username and password variables. I have a session started at the entry point of the web service action, and when setting the function class in the SoapServer during initialization, I’m persisting connections as follows:

       $this->setClass('WebSvcSoapFunctions');
       $this->setPersistence(SOAP_PERSISTENCE_SESSION);

When I create a SOAP CLIENT and call my service, regardless of which function is called, it appears that the version() function is always executed rather than the one called. I imagine this is probably due to the way my WSDL is written, but I can’t see a problem (i’m new)….

I have the following WSDL listening via a PHP SoapServer:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

My SOAP function class is as follows (included in my SOapServer via setClass()):

class WebSvcSoapFunctions
{
    private $username = ''; // username provided by the client during login() request
    private $password = ''; // password provided by the client during login() request

    /**
    * Handle a login request

    public function login($user,$pass)
    {
        $this->username = $user;
        $this->password = $pass;

        // should check for validity here, but for testing, return true.
        return 'Successful Login. Welcome, '.$user;
    }

    /**
    * Logs the client out.
    * 
    */
    public function logout()
    {
        $this->username = '';
        $this->password = '';
        $_SESSION = array();
        session_destroy();
        return 'Logged Out Successfully.';
    }

    */
    private function isAuthenticated()
    {
        if (isset($this->username) && $this->username != '')
        {
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            return false;
        }
    }

    /**
    * Returns the version of the SOAP Server to the requesting client
    *

    public function version()
    {
        if ($this->isAuthenticated())
        {
            return 'Affinegy Service v1.0.0';
        }
        else
        {

My SOAP CLIENT test class is as follows:

ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled", "0");  
define('WSDL_URL','http://soap.jrimer-amp64/?wsdl');   
try
{ 
    $client = new SoapClient(WSDL_URL, array('trace'=>true));

    $request = 'version';
    $args = array();
    $SOAPResult = $client->$request($args); // call the SOAP Server's "version" function
    OutputLastRequestResponse($client, $request, $args, $SOAPResult);

    $request = 'login';
    $args['username'] = 'testuser';
    $args['password'] = '1234';
    $SOAPResult = $client->$request($args); // call the SOAP Server's "login" function
    OutputLastRequestResponse($client, $request, $args, $SOAPResult);

    $request = 'version';
    $args = array();
    $SOAPResult = $client->$request($args); // call the SOAP Server's "version" function
    OutputLastRequestResponse($client, $request, $args, $SOAPResult);

    $request = 'logout';
    $args = array();
    $SOAPResult = $client->$request($args); // call the SOAP Server's "logout" function
    OutputLastRequestResponse($client, $request, $args, $SOAPResult);

    $request = 'version';
    $SOAPResult = $client->$request($args); // call the SOAP Server's "version" function
    OutputLastRequestResponse($client, $request, $args, $SOAPResult);

}
catch (Exception $e)
{
    echo '<pre>FAILED: '.print_r($e,1).'</pre>'; // dump the client exception to screen

    OutputLastRequestResponse($client);
}

/**

*/
function OutputLastRequestResponse($client, $requested = '', $args=array(), $returned='')
{
    echo '<h1>XXXXXXXX SERVICE SOAP SERVER TEST</h1>';
    echo 'Request: <pre>'.$requested.'</pre>';
    echo 'Request Arguments: <pre>'.print_r($args,1).'</pre>';
    echo 'Returned: <pre>'.$returned.'</pre>';
    echo 'Raw Request: <pre>'.htmlspecialchars($client->__getLastRequestHeaders());
    echo htmlspecialchars($client->__getLastRequest()).'</pre>';

}

The results from the test class runs are as follows… Notice “NOT AUTHORIZED.” is the response to everything, indicating that ONLY the WebSvcSoapFunctions::version() function is running

Any ideas what’s going on?

NOTE: I notice that if I simply comment out the definition in the WSDL for the VERSION function that the next defined function becomes the “always called” function (login)… What do I have configured wrong in that WSDL?

    Yeah, it was the WSDL, I completely have it misdefined… Restructured the WSDL and it fields requests correctly now…
