*******************
WSDL (Experimental)
*******************

The implementation is experimental and currently only **WSDL 1.1 and SOAP 1.1** bindings
have been implemented.

The code generator in addition to models derived from xml schemas will also generate
dataclasses for messages and simple classes to describe the unique operations.


.. code-block:: console

    $ xsdata --wsdl --package calculator http://www.dneonline.com/calculator.asmx?WSDL


Message Model
=============

The message models are not any different to xsd derived classes and include the complete
structure of the ``Envelope`` wrapper.

.. literalinclude:: /../tests/fixtures/calculator/services.py
   :language: python
   :lines: 187-216


Operation Class
===============

The :class:`~xsdata.codegen.mappers.definitions.DefinitionsMapper` will generate
simple static classes to describe all the unique operations and the binding procedure.


.. literalinclude:: /../tests/fixtures/calculator/services.py
   :language: python
   :lines: 623-629


Client
======

The :class:`~xsdata.formats.dataclass.client.Client` is a proxy for consuming web
services. The client needs a web service
:class:`~xsdata.formats.dataclass.client.Config` with the directives to process
requests and responses.

**Optionally you can also provide and override**

- the default transport implementation
  :class:`~xsdata.formats.dataclass.transports.Transport`
- the :class:`~xsdata.formats.dataclass.parsers.XmlParser` with your custom config
- the :class:`~xsdata.formats.dataclass.serializers.XmlSerializer` with your custom
  config


Creating instances
------------------

The client can be initialized from the an operation class directly

.. code-block:: python

    >>> client = Client.from_service(CalculatorSoapAdd)
    >>> client.config
    Config(style='document', location='http://www.dneonline.com/calculator.asmx', transport='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http', soap_action='http://tempuri.org/Add', input=<class 'tests.fixtures.calculator.services.CalculatorSoapAddInput'>, output=<class 'tests.fixtures.calculator.services.CalculatorSoapAddOutput'>)



But you can also override any properties as you see fit

.. code-block:: python

    >>> client = Client.from_service(CalculatorSoapAdd, location="http://testurl.com")
    >>> client.config
    Config(style='document', location='http://testurl.com', transport='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http', soap_action='http://tempuri.org/Add', input=<class 'tests.fixtures.calculator.services.CalculatorSoapAddInput'>, output=<class 'tests.fixtures.calculator.services.CalculatorSoapAddOutput'>)


Or if you know what you are doing

.. code-block:: python

    >>> config = Config(
    ...         style="document",
    ...         location="",
    ...         transport=TransportTypes.SOAP,
    ...         soap_action="",
    ...         input=None,
    ...         output=None,
    ...     )
    >>> client = Client(config=config)


Performing Requests
-------------------

The send method requires either an object that matches the config input type or a
dictionary with raw values that matches the input dataclass field names and structure.

.. code-block:: python

    >>> request = CalculatorSoapAddInput(body=CalculatorSoapAddInput.Body(add=Add(10, 2)))
    >>> res = client.send(request)
    >>> res
    CalculatorSoapAddOutput(body=CalculatorSoapAddOutput.Body(add_response=AddResponse(add_result=12)))


.. code-block:: python

    >>> client = Client.from_service(CalculatorSoapAdd)
    >>> params = {"body": {"add": {"int_a": 3, "int_b": 4}}}
    >>> res = client.send(params)
    >>> res
    CalculatorSoapAddOutput(body=CalculatorSoapAddOutput.Body(add_response=AddResponse(add_result=7)))
    >>>


You can also provide a dictionary of custom headers as well, although the headers that
are needed for the webservice to work can not be overwritten.,

.. code-block:: python

    >>> client.send(params, headers={"User-Agent": "xsdata"})
