trouble with mod-perl soap handler
Hi all, I really need some help. Iam using the mod-perl handler for soap. I wasnt sure how to test it. Can any body tell me how to test the service I make. MORE Importantly. how should I make sure the handler is invoked. I think it is not being invoked. I have also copied the package in the perls @INC path "//site_perl". The package has a handler function that should be invoked. Thanks Riz
How to do connection pooling

Hi.
I was playing with this stuff yesterday, so here are some points from
someone who's new to this stuff
First off, there's an example in the mod_perl cookbook. See chapter 15,
secion 15.16 Creating a SOAP server. In particular, the listing you
might want to take a look at is the example of a script that calls thier
soap server server.
http://www.modperlcookbook.org/code/ch15/HalfLife-QueryServer-0.10/eg/querysoap.pl
Secondly, have a look at Leon Brocard's stuff at
http://www.astray.com/services/ This is a further example of using SOAP -
this time to call a infobot.
Basically what you want to do from your client is
#!/usr/bin/perl
use SOAP::Lite +autodispatch =
uri = 'Some unique uri to identify your request',
proxy = 'The url that is in your Location in httpd.conf';
my $object = NameOfMySOAPedModule-new();
$object-a_method();
$object-an_other_method();
MORE Importantly. how should I make sure the handler is invoked. I think
it is not being invoked. I have also copied the package in the perls
@INC path //site_perl. The package has a handler function that
should be invoked.
Try GETing the url. Assuming you have LWP installed:
[mark@pate mark]$ GET http://2shortplanks.com/mod_soap
HTML
HEADTITLEAn Error Occurred/TITLE/HEAD
BODY
H1An Error Occurred/h1
405 Method Not Allowed
/BODY
/HTML
For a simple GET if the handler is being called you should get the 405
(as you didn't issue a proper soap request.)

Re: trouble with mod-perl soap handler
Thanks for the help
I am doing the following:
#--
package ServerDemo;
use strict;
use SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Apache;
sub handler {
my $safe_classes = {
BlotterService = undef
};
SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Apache-handler($safe_classes);
}
#---
package BlotterService;
use strict;
sub new {
bless {}, shift;
}
sub handle_request {
my ($self, $headers, $body, $envelopeMaker) = @_;
$body-{extra_stuff} = heres some extra stuff;
foreach my $header (@$headers)
{
$header-{extra_stuff} = heres some more extra stuff;
$envelopeMaker-add_header(undef, undef, 0, 0, $header);
}
$envelopeMaker-set_body(undef, 'myresponse', 0, $body);
}
I am still unable to check it/ write a client for it. I always get the error
Bad Request. I have also addedd the location tag in httpd.conf
Thanks.

In particular you might want to have a look at search.cpan.org which will

install it.
http://search.cpan.org
http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=modulequery=Net::LDAP::Extension
Are you enquiring which pod in particular links to the documentation for
Net::LDAP::Extension within the perl-ldap distribution? Normally each
module has it's own pod, but sometimes - when it's clearer - a collection
of modules are described at once in other module's pod.
Net::LDAP::Extension doesn't seem to have any pod itself, so maybe
someone else who's used the package could point out which bit of the
perl-ldap documentation describes it.

Making perl handlers handle non-Perl
How can I get mod_perl to handle all Apache output, whether or not it
originates with mod_perl?
I'm writing a module that needs to analyze all output generated by Apache.
That's easy enough with stacked handlers, but I'm goofing something up
with, say, static HTML.
If I do this:
Location /test
PerlHandler MyFilter
/Location
Then static HTML gets served up OK, but MyFilter doesn't seem to get
called. Or is it, and I'm screwing something up in the filter?
And of course if I do this:
Location /test
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler MyFilter
/Location
Then I get no output because the .html files that I'm trying to serve up
out of /test aren't Perl.
Pointers please? I've got both the Cookbook and the Eagle book if you
want to just point to a page.
Thanks,
Andy

Re: Making perl handlers handle non-Perl
ok, SetHandler sets a content handler for a given Location - it supersededs
everything else.
unlike with normal Apache, mod_perl needs two things in order for your handler to be
called:
the content hander to be perl-script (for Apache) and the name of your handler with
PerlHandler (for
mod_perl)
So what we're saying is that with static .html files, there's no way for
me to get mod_perl to interject itself into Apache's chain? Or PHP for
that matter?
I want my MyFilter to process EVERYTHING that Apache spits out, whether
with mod_perl, mod_php or just reading a .html file from the filesystem,
especially the mod_php stuff.
Should I be looking at one of the later phases (cleanup?) instead of
content generation?
Thanks,
Andy

Assuming you mean you want to look at the generated content from non-mod_perl handlers and do something with it, apache doesn't work that way. Apache 2.0 does, but that won't help you right now.

Re: Making perl handlers handle non-Perl
Assuming you mean you want to look at the generated content from
non-mod_perl handlers and do something with it, apache doesn't work that
way. Apache 2.0 does, but that won't help you right now. You might try
using a proxy server setup to do this instead.
THAT'S the answer I was looking for. Not what I wnated, but at least it
answers my question. :-)
So, my HTML::Lint checking is only going to work on output from the
mod_perl chain. I guess that's better than nothing, but I've got plenty
of PHP code that I'd like to filter thru it as well.
Thanks, all.
Andy

If you aren't terribly concerned about performance, there are several Apache::Proxy modules which should be easy to modify to put your lint checking in.

Status of mod_perl 2.0
Question? What is the status of mod_perl 2.0? Also, is it working with/playing with Apache 2.0 at all?

Tell me what's the status of apache 2.0 and I'll tell you the status of mod_perl 2.0 :) But seriously mod_perl 2.0 will be ready about the time apache 2.0 (i.e. httpd-2.0) gets released.

Re: Making perl handlers handle non-Perl
Andy Lester wrote: How can I get mod_perl to handle all Apache output, whether or not it originates with mod_perl? I'm writing a module that needs to analyze all output generated by Apache. That's easy enough with stacked handlers, but I'm goofing something up with, say, static HTML. If I do this: Location /test PerlHandler MyFilter /Location Then static HTML gets served up OK, but MyFilter doesn't seem to get called. Or is it, and I'm screwing something up in the filter? And of course if I do this: Location /test SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler MyFilter /Location Then I get no output because the .html files that I'm trying to serve up out of /test aren't Perl. Pointers please? I've got both the Cookbook and the Eagle book if you want to just point to a page. Just an idea Jou could try to set a location handler for LocationMatch /* SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler My::HandleEverything /LocationMatch your handler could tie the output-handle (is this possible?) and run a subrequest. Now it could intercept the output (written to the handle) and do changes, or tidy it up, whatever you want..

virtual host server root
I'm trying to create a root directory for each of my virtuals. The reason is that there's plenty of stuff within the realm of the virtual that certainly shouldn't be within the document root -- templates, cache, logs, etc. Plus, I might want to point a virtual into a user dir somewhere. I've come up with three solutions, none of which I particularly like for various reasons. - PerlSetVar VRoot /someplace Simple, but I've always had a distaste for PerlSetVar for some reason. *shrug* - VRoot /someplace Not as simple. Requires yet another module to implement and adds even more overhead to the server conf file. - ServerPath /someplace Pretty simple Server.xs hack, but probably never supported. Also might open up security holes. Is anybody else doing this sort of thing? --rick
how to disable mod_perl in a subdir?
I am working with a host that has everything under /cgi-bin running mod_perl by default, and well as using EmbPerl to run the dynamic pages. Unfortunately, I have a set of scripts that really need regular perl, and I can't seem to figure out the configuration to disable mod_perl in a specific directory that needs regular perl. ;( I tried this in the httpd.conf file: Directory /home/mydomain/cgi-bin/webadmin/ SetHandler default-handler AddHandler cgi-script .pl AllowOverride All /Directory and then ALSO editted a .htaccess file in /home/mydomain/cgi-bin/webadmin/ to include: options +ExecCGI RemoveHandler perl-script SetHandler cgi-script AddHandler cgi-script .pl and it still tries to use mod_perl?! SERVER_SOFTWARE = Apache/1.3.19 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) mod_ssl/2.8.1 OpenSSL/0.9.6 mod_perl/1.24_01 PLEASE let me know if there is a way to configure so that a specific sub-dir uses regular perl. Dan
Re: how to disable mod_perl in a subdir?
Maybe you can try Apache::PerlRun instead of Apache::Registry for the directories that you need to run those scripts. The perldocs show how to set it up.

PerlFreshRestart bug - comments please
Hi
I didn't get a response for my first post :-( So I'm
making another try (Sorry for cross-posting - but I
guess it's relevant to dev list as well)
PerlFreshRestart (is anyone using this feature ?) was
giving me a lot of problems giving a lot of 'Undefined
Subroutine' errors when I restart (USR1) httpd. I
found that it's due to a bug in mod_perl (perl_util.c
- perl_reload_inc()).
ie. the following seems to be wrong:
while (($k, $v) = each(%INC))
{
delete($INC{$k}); eval(require $k);
}
When you do a require $k, any further 'use' or
'require' in $k will not be loaded, since they are
already loaded as per %INC. However that's not the
case, since I've used Apache::Symbol to undefine all
those (otherwise I'd get a Subroutine redefined error)
in PerlRestartHandler.
mod_perl-1.19 seems to implement it correctly - but
that part of the code was removed in later versions -
Any idea why ?
ie. there was this line
GvHV(incgv) = Nullhv;
in perl_util.c (perl_reload_inc), but was removed on
later versions.
So basically I reintroduced this line to the current
version (mod_perl-1.26) the problems are gone.
Can this patch go into the next version ? I guess this
is the reason for so many 'Evil things' happening if
Restart was on ?
I'd like to get some comments before I put this change
to production.
Expecting a reply this time
Thanx
Sreeji
