memory leak in Zend_Soap_Client

2009-11-14T12:02:45Z

Hello,

It looks like there is a memory leak in Zend_Soap_Client. See example below...

for( $i = 0; $i < 100; $i++ ) {
$client = new Zend_Soap_Client( $soapUrl );
$object = $client->$function( $params );
}

This will cause the memory footprint to increase after each loop.

vs.

for( $i = 0; $i < 100; $i++ ) {
$client = new SoapClient( $soapUrl );
$object = $client->$function( $params );
}

This does not increase memory.

From my tests it appears that the $client->$function( $params ) is what causes the memory leak.

Anyone else experience this or have a fix for it?

Thanks,
Shawn

I don't have Zend Studio. I do have Zend Framework and intended to use
the WSDL auto discovery mechanism.

With all the ports/encodings/etc. options ... I'm hoping the framework
knows its stuff and can build a working WSDL for all the consumers.

While you can construct the WSDL from scratch, I'd suggest using a tool like one found in Zend Studio for Eclipse. I've used it to (easily) generate WSDL for a SOAP service, and then used it to add a web reference in Visual Studio.

The issue is that I'm not a .NET person (assuming that's where the
issue lies). I don't know SOAP very well.

So, I am really hoping the gurus on here can spend a few minutes
trying to explain what the issues are and letting us know if they are
surmountable.

I'm assuming the BIG players in this market don't have the problems,
so what is the solutions?

Pointers/idea/etc.

Regards,

Richard.

New to ZF and SOAP services.

2009-11-06T00:48:02Z

Hi.

I've been asked to build a SOAP service to allow our clients access
our data. I've also been asked to build a SOAP client to extract data
from our clients into our system.

I'm looking to use Zend Framework's Zend_Soap_Server and
Zend_Soap_Client for this.

Currently the services need to build are ...

Service : Authentication
Login() -> PreAuthToken
Authenticate(Username, md5(Password + ' : ' + PreAuthToken)) -> AuthToken
Logout(PreAuthToken, AuthToken) -> Nothing

Service : SupplyData
Brands()
Customers()
Products()
RemovalReasons()
Vehicles()
WheelPositions()

One of the features that I need to incorporate is the ability to have
versioning of the services.

So, say we build V1 today and agree on the interface, but tomorrow a
customer has a grand idea and V2 is created.

We need to be able to support V1 and V2 side-by-side.

I've been asked to implement major and minor versions along with LIVE
and TEST switches.

Add to that some service versions may need to be disabled (killswitch'd).

It has been agreed that all requests _may_ contain the xml ...

<version>
<major>major version integer</major>
<minor>minor version integer</minor>
<release>LIVE or TEST</release>
</version>

So, with that I have a few questions.

1 : How do I read the version before I create the Zend_Soap_Server and
load the required class?
2 : How do I know which service is being requested?
3 : Can I create a dummy soap service which has just the version
content and from there determine which class to load?

I think I want a Zend_Soap_Server_Proxy. Something that all soap
requests will go through. The result of which will either be the
correct soap service called or an exception (no version for service,
version killed/superceeded, etc.).

Is this even possible?

Any assistance would be really nice.

At this stage, I think I can have the spec changed, so if you have any
better way of dealing with this, then I'd appreciate knowing that too!

Thank you.

Richard Quadling.

Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover how to get maxOccurs="1"

2009-11-05T07:09:44Z

Hi,

I'm using Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover to generate a WSDL based on my php class. But how do I get minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" in my XML?

Example:
<s:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="Huisnummer" type="s:int" />
<s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="Brinnummer" type="s:string" />

also, how do I add restrictions? as in this example:
<xs:element id="id" maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="1" name="id">
<xs:simpleType>
<xs:restriction base="xs:string">
<xs:maxLength value="8"/>
<xs:minLength value="8"/>
<xs:pattern value="[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]"/>
</xs:restriction>
</xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>

I assume I have to add this in the phpDoc parts of my class, but I cant figure out how! Any help would be greatly appreciated

Problem consuming Java JAX-WS web service from Zend_Soap_Client

2009-09-27T03:02:18Z

Hi! I have a problem consuming a Java JAX-WS web service from Zend_Soap_Client.

I wrote a simple Java JAX-WS web service using Netbeans' wizard. It contains two operations: method_1 and method_2. method_1 returns the string "hello world", method_2 returns x+1 where x is an input parameter.

I got an exception error Unsupported Media Type when I tried to consume the service with the following code:


$client = new Zend_Soap_Client('http://localhost:8084/MyApplication/MyService?wsdl');

$functions = $client->getFunctions();    // works!!!

$result = $client->method_2(array('x' => 10));    //fails

If I use SoapClient instead of Zend_Soap_Client I have no problems:


$client = new SoapClient('http://localhost:8084/MyApplication/MyService?wsdl');

$result = $client->method_2(array('x' => 10));    //$result is an object (stdClass)

echo $result->return;    // prints 11

The question is: why I got that error using Zend_Soap_Client and how could I make it works? Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks ;)

Sincerely,
Federico

SoapFault-exception using Zend Soap Client & Webservice

Hi,

since the weekend I try to get Zend Soap Client running with the Webservice provided by affili.net.

Everytime I try to run the method 'SearchProducts', I get the following exception:

Zend_Soap_Client in HTTPS

2009-09-08T08:29:36Z

Hi everyone,

i'm trying to implement a Soap Client, the Web service is available in HTTPS (WSDL file goes trough this protocol).

Do i need to configure some parameter in this class, or should it work as a normal HTTP Web service call?

I saw some getHttpsCertificate function, but documentation is rather poor about it.
I guess i should probably implement some certificate between my "client" server calling the Soap service.

Any experience and sample is welcome.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Zend Service Ebay ready for review

Best Practice: Multiple HTTP Requests

2009-09-01T13:01:04Z

Hello all,

i have a question related to handling HTTP Requests. As my applications are using lots of webservice APIs i really wonder how to easily solve the HTTP Bottleneck problem.

Idea 1. Move HTTP Request to the Client Side.
Idea 2. Make a Controller for each Webservice and handle each controller as a Rest Service.
So you have one controller which then would utilize ajax to request each controller.

The problem is that i am fetching lots of data atm and merge them into one huge array. So instead to let the user wait, i will use ajax to give the user a faster response..

How do you solve this?

BTW. Renan and me are currently working on a proposal for ebay finding api :)

Zend_Service Contributor Guidelines?

2009-08-26T13:34:54Z

I’ve been thinking that maybe a Zend_Service contributor guidelines wiki entry should be created. I think a contributors guide specific to this section would be beneficial. As the number of components grow in the Zend_Service_* section, it’d be nice if the components followed a ZF standard and had more consistency. While every web service implementation is indeed different, there are many aspects when building a ZF client that could become guidelines or “best practices”. I think this may encourage future proposals and make it easier for others to write for Zend_Service_*. Please note that I don’t want to force a certain method, but merely promote a “good way” on doing things especially if it is backed by Zend and the community.

While I was working on the Zend_Service_Tumblr component, I’ve ran into some implementation specifics I wasn’t 100% sure of or if Zend had a suggested approach for. I’ve used what I believe would be best for ZF when planning, but maybe it could be documented to help others.

Some examples:

Validation
Should the ZF client validate or let the web service do the validation? Maybe a mix?

Validating everything locally could be very time consuming and sometimes not possible if the validation rules aren’t stated in the web service documentation. At the same time validating everything remotely may not be acceptable under certain circumstances. Validating a number, length of a string..etc is easy, but validating an file upload may not be or even possible. I wanted to be somewhat consistent so which way should I go?

Testability
While there are tests for every Zend_Service component, there isn’t a normal guideline to on what approach to use or how testable it is. For example, if the component required a Zend_Http_Client instance, should the component be injected (optionally usually) in the constructor or using setters? If the Zend_Http_Client is instantiated inside the component, where should it happen?

Constructor
(Zend_Service_Simpy)

public function __construct($username, $password)
{
/**
* @see Zend_Service_Rest
*/
require_once 'Zend/Rest/Client.php';
$this->http = new Zend_Http_Client;
$this->http->setAuth($username, $password);
}

Lazy loading
(Zend_Service_Amazon)

public function getRestClient()
{
if($this->_rest === null) {
$this->_rest = new Zend_Rest_Client();
}
return $this->_rest;
}

In addition some of the ZF client’s don’t allow a setRestClient() or a setHttpClient method (this may be for good reason though) so you can’t override the normal instances without extending the class and having your own implementation. This is more nit picky, but it’d be nice if you were using many Zend_Service components to know offhand as it is consistent. This is also important when writing tests for your own application. You may want to inject a test Http adapter. Right now certain components require mock objects to do so while others have a simple injection method.

How much of the API should be implemented?
Should there be some guidelines on how “full” an API needs to be implemented? For example Zend_Service_Flickr only supports “fetching” methods and no creating or updating methods. I know this was created in the early days, but should partial implementations be accepted in cases like Flickr where it seems obvious to support more at the current day?

Thanks for reading.

This is a separate issue for which you can find a patch in ZF-6742:
http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-6742

So I would recommend using ArrayOfTypeSequence with the 'v2' patch. I hope it
will be applied to the official trunk before 1.9 ... it is not the best solution,
but it is simple and solves that particular issue.

RE: Re: Soap Server incompatiiblity with .NET Client

2009-06-23T07:39:20Z

I am now using the trunk version of the Soap component. It resolves my
previous issue but I have uncovered another problem.

I want to return an array of objects with a method, so in the doc
comment I have the following prototype:

@return MySecondObject[]

I ended up using Zend_Soap_Wsdl_Strategy_ArrayOfTypeComplex because
Zend_Soap_Wsdl_Strategy_ArrayOfTypeSequence did not allow me gave a
fatal error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Soap_Wsdl_Exception' with message
'ArrayOfTypeSequence Strategy does not allow for complex types that are
not in @return type[] syntax. "MyFirstObject" type was specified.' In
....

The ArrayOfTypeComplex strategy generates a WSDL definition that is not
compatible with WSDL Basic 1.1 spec:
http://www.ws-i.org/Profiles/BasicProfile-1.1.html#soapenc_Array

This is the generated WSDL snippet:

<xsd:complexType name="ArrayOfMySecondObject">
<xsd:complexContent>
<xsd:restriction base="soap-enc:Array">
<xsd:attribute ref="soap-enc:arrayType"
wsdl:arrayType="tns:MySecondObject []" />
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:complexContent>
</xsd:complexType>

I manually modified this to the following:

<xsd:complexType name="ArrayOfMySecondObject">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="MySecondObject" type="tns:MySecondObject"

minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

The unmodified version was not properly parsed by Visual Studio 2005 as
a Web Reference (the MySecondObject was never created), but the modified
version did work.

It seems that this would be a render ZF-6349 not fixed? Or is this a
separate issue.

Soap Server incompatiiblity with .NET Client

Hello

I have come across an incompatibility that the Soap Server has with the
.NET Soap Client. When loading a WSDL generated by
Zend_Soap_Autodiscover as a Web Reference in Visual Studio, if there are
no objects/complex types in the WSDL signature, then that WSDL is not
loaded successfully. I found that the problem is when "types" tag and
"xsd:schema" tag, inside that, is missing from the WSDL. It must be
there and empty at the least:

<types>
<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://mynamespace.com"/>
</types>

I found that putting a call to $this->addSchemaTypeSection(); in the
Zend_Soap_Wsdl::__construct() fixed this.

Is this seen as a bug in Visual Studio or is it a shortcoming of
Zend_Soap_Autodiscover and Zend_Soap_Wsdl? And either way should there
not be a work around to ensure compatibility with .NET?

In our company we have to be sure that our web services are consumable
(and easy to use) by .NET clients. For now my work around will be to
have a dummy method that has an object as a parameter, though this is
not optimal.

Thanks,
ronny

So it was because I had:

add.elementDecorators.formElements.options.tag = "table"

formElements settings rather than decorators.form.decorator?

Hi!
Is it possible to add a decorator (or set a property) from a INI config file only for one element?

I want a form like this:

<form action="" method="">

Talking to a .Net SOAP server

2009-06-05T11:58:41Z

I would like to find examples of using ZendFramework to create a PHP5
client connecting to a .Net web services server, using SOAP, that provides
database services and returns Complex (and otherwise self? described) data.

I have a working client so long as I constrain my access to methods only
using less complex types. I need to make use of more complex types to get the
performance where we need it to be.

My specific need is access a method described by the wsdl as:
<s:element name="GetLoginRowFromName">
    <s:complexType>
        <s:sequence>
            <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="loginName" type="s:string"/>
            <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="ds">
                <s:complexType>
                    <s:sequence>
                        <s:element ref="s:schema"/>
                        <s:any/>
                    </s:sequence>
                </s:complexType>
            </s:element>
            <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="status" type="s:string"/>
        </s:sequence>
    </s:complexType>
</s:element>
<s:element name="GetLoginRowFromNameResponse">
    <s:complexType>
        <s:sequence>
            <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="ds">
                <s:complexType>
                    <s:sequence>
                        <s:element ref="s:schema"/>
                        <s:any/>
                    </s:sequence>
                </s:complexType>
            </s:element>
            <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="status" type="s:string"/>
        </s:sequence>
    </s:complexType>                                                                   
</s:element>     The element named "ds" is what has stopped me cold. Simple for those who know the magic sauce, a bit more opaque for the rest of us.

It seems that this is calling for the inclusion of a sub-schema? Something which must be generated on my part?

The wsdl (minus the ol' ?WSDL in the URL) also provides the following:
The following is a sample SOAP 1.1 request and response.  The placeholders shown need to be replaced with actual values.

Please Test: Considerable Internal Changes to Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover for WS Compliance

2009-05-30T16:26:10Z

Hello everyone,

I have committed a large patch provided by Fabien Crespel into
Zend_Soap_AutoDiscover that adds compliance for integration with Java, .NET
and other SOAP Client generation tools.

For this internally many changes had to be made to the WSDL generation. All
tests still pass, but since SOAP/WSDL is such a tricky technology I urge you
to test the changes with your production Zend_Soap code and give lots of
feedback on compability or not.

The changes will only make it into 1.9 because they cannot be really
considered as a bug only but as a new feature.

greetings,
Benjamin

I don't know Java clients very well, but Java is probably stricter than PHP...

The WSDL generated when using "@param array" uses soap-enc:Array, which is a bit
vague as it doesn't specify the type of the contained elements. Moreover, these
arrays are "flat" as far as I know.

In your case, you are expecting an *associative* array on the PHP side (with a
string as the key), which is a different matter.

If I remember correctly, PHP uses some kind of Apache "Map" type, defined in the
http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap namespace, for associative arrays. This seems to
be a fake URL though, and it won't give you an XML Schema for the Map type.. So I
don't think this solution is very interoperable at all. But again, I don't really
know Java clients. Maybe the solution is somewhere in Apache Axis? Maybe it could
magically convert a Java Hashtable into a "Map" that PHP understands ?

Personally, I would use a PHP class to wrap these objects instead of an
associative array. For example:

class AuthData {
/** @var string */
$username;
/** @var string */
$password;
}

Then your web service class would look like that:

class ws_authentication {
/**
* Authenticate an user.
* @param AuthData $params
* @return integer
*/
public function get_token($params) {
if ($params->username == 'wsuser' && $params->password == 'wspassword') {
return '456';
} else {
throw new moodle_exception('wrongusernamepassword');
}
}
}

With this solution you should be able to get a Java client working, the only
downside is that you would have to create many classes if you have many
functions. But at least they would properly define what the client must provide.

Hope this helps.

REST Response Error: inet_pton() [function.inet-pton]: Unrecognized address

2009-05-17T14:02:21Z

Hello all,

I've got a tricky situation here. I'm making a request to a REST client. It works like so:

$client = new Zend_Rest_Client('http://db.tigsource.com/games/' . $urlTitle . '.xml');
$result = $client->get();

And that's it. It works in normal cases. However, this particular service is not consistent in how they deal with apostrophes when translating a title to a URL, e.g. the title "zpc's example" might be accessed through one of either "zpc-s-example.xml" or "zpcs-example.xml". Since they are inconsistent in this way, I have to request it one way, and if it doesn't work, the other.

I have a method that does this, and in my unit tests, it works just as it should. In a single test (so no teardown and setup takes place between them), I request two titles whose URLs handle the apostrophes differently, and the function successfully attempts the second URL style if the first throws an exception.

However, when I manually test it, the second request throws an exception (whereas in the unit test, it's successful) with the following error message:

REST Response Error: inet_pton() [function.inet-pton]: Unrecognized address db.tigsource.com

Here's the main code in question, with the non-relevant parts taken out:

        // $tryAgain will be true if the title contains apostrophes
        $urlTitle = $this->urlizeTitle($title);
        $client = new Zend_Rest_Client();
        do {            
            try {                            
                    $client->setUri('http://db.tigsource.com/games/' . $urlTitle . '.xml');
                    $result = $client->get();                    
                    break;
            } catch (Exception $e) {
                if ($tryAgain) {
                    $tryAgain = false;
                    $urlTitle = $this->urlizeTitleOmitApostrophes($title);                    
                } else {
                    // return error info and some other stuff
                }
            }
        } while (1==1);

The stack trace after calling $client->setUri() the second time looks like this:

#0 /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/indiedevnet/library/Zend/Validate/Ip.php(62): Zend_Rest_Client_Result->handleXmlErrors(2, 'inet_pton() [isValid('db.tigsource.co...')
#2 /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/indiedevnet/library/Zend/Uri/Http.php(448): Zend_Validate_Hostname->isValid('db.tigsource.co...')
#3 /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/indiedevnet/library/Zend/Uri/Http.php(280): Zend_Uri_Http->validateHost('db.tigsource.co...')
#4 /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/indiedevnet/library/Zend/Uri/Http.php(154): Zend_Uri_Http->valid()
#5 /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/indiedevnet/library/Zend/Uri.php(132): Zend_Uri_Http->__construct()
#6 /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/indiedevnet/library/Zend/Rest/Client.php(77): Zend_Uri::factory('http', '//db.tigsource....')

Any ideas what's causing this? I'm using ZF 1.7.5 if that's any help.

Much thanks in advance

Re: [Question] How to create a Java client for a Zend_Soap server using autodiscover functionality

2009-05-13T00:29:50Z

Hi Fabien,
my function example was more about to use complex parameters.
If my Zend Soap Client can send array and object, why my java client can not?
To speak more about use case, I've got some functions called get_users, create_users, ... so you can see that I need to pass array containing objects. I think they are quite classic common web service functions. I guess there is a good way/pratice to use Zend_soap_server+autodiscover and be able to write a Java client?

As far as I know the soap-enc:Array type is not an associative array, but a
classical "flat" one.. meanwhile, the type of the contained elements isn't
described here, so the caller has no clue what kind of content the service
expects. I wouldn't really recommend using "@param array" at all.

Instead I would suggest using 2 string parameters like this:

/**
* Some description...
* @param string $username
* @param string $password
* @return integer
function get_token($username, $password) {
if ($username == 'wsuser' && $password == 'wspassword') {
return '456';
} else {
throw new moodle_exception('wrongusernamepassword');
}
}

If you still want only 1 parameter, you could use a class, but it seems easier to
use the solution above.

- Fabien.
