soap-ext
========

[](#soap-ext)

soap-ext is a library written in PHP that seeks to replace the PHP-Native SoapClient with a SoapClient consisting of a handfull of Middleware Components, which are replaceable.

The whole Client runs on a Middleware that is defined by Interfaces to enable the user to write New and replace specific Middleware-Components at will.

Requirements
============

[](#requirements)

7.0++ due to phpunit

How to Install
--------------

[](#how-to-install)

Install with [`composer.phar`](http://getcomposer.org).

```
composer require icegloo24/soap-ext
```

How to
======

[](#how-to)

Simple use case:
----------------

[](#simple-use-case)

```
use SoapExt\SoapClient;

$wsdl = "any existing wsdl";
$options = [];

$client = new SoapClient($wsdl, $options);

$input = new \SoapVar("foo", XSD_STRING, null, null, "bar", "https://foo.bar");

$client->__call($function, $input);

$result = $client->__getLastResponse();
```

Extended use case:
------------------

[](#extended-use-case)

```
use SoapExt\SoapClient;
use SoapExt\Middleware\Native\Cache;
use SoapExt\Middleware\Native\Curl;
use SoapExt\Middleware\Native\RequestAdjustment;
use SoapExt\Middleware\Native\RequestBuilder;
use SoapExt\Middleware\Native\SignatureMaker;
use SoapExt\Middleware\Native\WsdlLoader;

$wsdl = "any existing wsdl";
$options = [];
$middleware = [
  new Cache(),
  new Curl($options),
  new RequestAdjustment(),
  new RequestBuilder(),
  new SignatureMaker($loc_certificate, $loc_privkey),
  new WsdlLoader()
];

$client = new SoapClient($wsdl, $options, $middleware);

$input = new \SoapVar("foo", XSD_STRING, null, null, "bar", "https://foo.bar");

$client->__call($function, $input);

$result = $client->__getLastResponse();
```

Minimum configuration:
----------------------

[](#minimum-configuration)

This case will yield the created Request as Response! No loaded Wsdl, no Validation, no Signature and no Curl-calls. Just to check out what Request has been built and if it builds.

```
use SoapExt\SoapClient;
use SoapExt\Middleware\Native\RequestBuilder;

$wsdl = "any existing wsdl";
$options = [];
$middleware = [
  new RequestBuilder()
];

$client = new SoapClient($wsdl, $options, $middleware);

$input = new \SoapVar("foo", XSD_STRING, null, null, "bar", "https://foo.bar");

$client->__call($function, $input);

$result = $client->__getLastResponse();
```

Use your own Middleware
-----------------------

[](#use-your-own-middleware)

Just implement the *Interface* for the Middleware-Component you seek to write and append that to the Client.

Middleware
----------

[](#middleware)

#### CacheInterface

[](#cacheinterface)

- Handles the Caching of the Wsdl!

#### CurlInterface

[](#curlinterface)

- Contains all handling of curl actions on the SoapClient.

#### RequestBuilderInterface

[](#requestbuilderinterface)

- Required to convert the array-structure handed into the \_\_call() into a fully functional XML.

#### WsdlLoaderInterface

[](#wsdlloaderinterface)

- Download, Load and Save the Wsdl into the Cache.

#### RequestAdjustmentInterface

[](#requestadjustmentinterface)

- Placed before Validation and Signature it is perfectly located to adjust some changes to the XML that can not be resolved by SoapVar's.

#### ValidatorInterface

[](#validatorinterface)

- Validates the Request versus the Wsdl.

#### SignatureMakerInterface

[](#signaturemakerinterface)

- Required to apply a Signature to the Header of the SoapRequest.

Native Middleware
-----------------

[](#native-middleware)

#### Cache

[](#cache)

- Places cached Data in the usual /tmp Filesystem.
- Cache can be cleared via function.

#### Curl

[](#curl)

- Takes several Arguments and uses the native curl\_lib to execute.

#### RequestBuilder

[](#requestbuilder)

- Is creating the XML File with the use of DOMDocument.

#### WsdlLoader

[](#wsdlloader)

- Can download the wsdl or load from cache.

#### RequestAdjustment

[](#requestadjustment)

- This actually just prints the Request to Console/Browser.

#### Validator

[](#validator)

- Can validate ComplexTypes of Requests and the loose structure against the wsdl as well as Enumerations(SimpleTypes). Also included some Error handling!

#### SignatureMaker

[](#signaturemaker)

- Create a Signature with the use of [RobRichards XMLSecLibs](https://github.com/robrichards/xmlseclibs).

Todo:
-----

[](#todo)

- Soap Encoding - *(SOAP\_ENC\_ARRAY, XSD\_...) only SOAP\_ENC\_OBJECT and XSD\_STRING is supported yet*
- Improve Namespace Naming in RequestBuilder
- Replace $options-array with a SoapClientOptions-Class with setters and Documentation for further knowledge!

There are still many more things i need to complete for this library. Feel free to Start Issues and/or make Pull Request if you like to contribute. Mail me at  if you have questions etc. I try not to be lazy with that.
