[Xml-compile] XML::Compile::SOAP and PSGI

[Jason Rodrigues]

Chris,

I haven't looked @ your code yet, but I've just done something similar
and have been using it for production for about a month now.
Transport is limited to HTTP, obviously, but the end goal was to make
it easy for our devs to expose soap methods to .net clients.

My code is not yet on github, but it ought to be.  With my system, I'm
using Class::MOP, and a hacked up Pod::WSDL bolted on as a wsdl
generator, you only have hand it a class filled with definitions like:

soap_method 'test',
   INPUT=>[Name=>'String'],
   OUTPUT=>[response=>'String'], sub {
      my ($self, $args) = @_;
        my $name= $args->{Name};

        return {response=>"hello $name"};

   };

It'll even generate a page similar to how .asmx does it, where you can
examine the methods @ the endpoint, and see what params ought to be
passed to it. (No test form yet)

Ideally, I ought to introspect Moose types to generate the WSDL more
directly, but I'm still learning Moose, and had some prior experience
w/ Pod::WSDL.

It needs a bit of polish, and the integration needs better testing,
but I'd be happy to merge  in some of my stuff. If you'd like,  I'll
probably fork your project on github and send a few patches your way.
I'm running the whole thing under starman, and it's working pretty
well for us.

FWIW, I like the name you propose...

Jason
