Parameter "xy" is not optional

Asked by azurit

Hi,

i have problems with running simple SOAP function using two clients:
 - standard PHP SOAP client
 - Python ZSI version 1.7

Result is the same in both cases:
UndefinedServiceMethod:
interface name: soap
service name: test
Parameter "first" is not optional

server
-------
from ladon.ladonizer import ladonize

class test(object):

 @ladonize(unicode,unicode,rtype=unicode)
 def test(self, first, second):
  return first

client Python
---------------
from ZSI.client import Binding
from ZSI import TC

bind = Binding(host="127.0.0.1", port=8080, url="/test/soap")
result = bind.RPC(None, "test", ("aaa", "bbb"), TC.Any(), requesttypecode=TC.Any("test"))

client PHP
------------
$sck = new SoapClient(null, array("location" => "http://127.0.0.1:8080/test/soap", "uri" => "http://127.0.0.1:8080/"));
$result = $sck->__soapCall("test", array("aaa", "bb"));

Hi Azurit.

How do you run the service? and what is the name of the python module where you have implemented your service class "test".

Best Regards

Hi,

i'm running it via Ladon test server. I find out that only kayword arguments are working in Ladon (so i need to specify also argument name, even it's not keyword argument). Is this an intended bahavior ?

I have no problem running your example with suds.

Is the name of your service module by any chance test.py?

File is 'myservice-new.py'. What version of SUDS are you using ? Mine is 0.4 . As i said, the same problem is with PHP unless i make arguments as keyword:
$result = $sck->testf(new SoapParam("aaa", "first"), new SoapParam("bbb", "second"));

As, sorry, i didn't tried this one with SUDS :) SUDS was in other question. Anyway, Ladon seems to not handle the positional arguments and needs argument names in XML.

Hi Azurit.

The Ladon SOAP interface is my implementation of the SOAP 1.1 protocol. I can't find anything (specification wise) that suggests that positional arguments are supported in SOAP 1.1, but I might have missed it. That's why only named arguments are supported. This does not mean that Ladon can't support positional arguments - it can - cause not only does Ladon store information about parameter names, it also stores the position, default value and doc - strings.

You are more than welcome to write a SOAP 1.2 interface for Ladon. All you have to do is write one new module with 4 classes that inherit: ServiceDescriptor, BaseRequestHandler, BaseResponseHandler and BaseInterface.

You can easilly add a new interface to Ladon - for example like this:
1. copy the ladon/interfaces/soap.py module to ie. ladon/interfaces/mysoap.py.
2. edit ladon/interfaces/mysoap.py and in the bottom change the classname SOAPInterface to MYSOAPInterface and make the static method _interface_name() return "mysoap"
3. edit ladon/interfaces/__init__.py add "import ladon.interfaces.mysoap" in the bottom of the file

If you choose to do so, I will review it and add it as a contribution.

What's the status on this one?

it's 'fixed' if ladon is not supposed to suppoer positional arguments. closing it
