Suds-ews

* Added support for WSDL imports: <wsdl:import/>
* Added support for xsd<->python type conversions (thanks: Nathan Van Gheem) for:
* xs:date
* xs:time
* xs:dateTime
* Fixed:
* Bug: Schema <import/> with schemaLocation specified.
* Bug: Namespaces specified in service description not valid until client/proxy is printed.

* Optimizations.

* Update exceptions to be more /standard/ python by using Exception.__init__() to set Exception.message as
suggested by Ticket 14; update bindings to raise WebFault passing (p)

* Add capability in bindings to handle multiple root nodes in the returned values;
returned as a composite object unlike when lists are returned

* Fix soapAction to be enclosed by quotes

* Add support for <xs:all/>

* Fix unbounded() method in SchemaObject

* Refactored schema into new (xsd) package. Files just getting too big. Added execute() to
Query and retrofitted suds to execute() query instead of using Schema.find() directly.
Also, move hokey start() methods from schema, as well as, query incrementation.

* Add inject keyword used to inject outbound soap messages and/or inbound reply messages.
Refactor SoapClient and
1) rename send() to invoke()
2) split message sending from invoke() and place in send();
Add TestClient which allows for invocation kwargs to have inject={'msg=, and reply='} for message
and reply injection

* Add Namespace class to sax for better management of namespace behavior;
retrofix suds to import and use Namespace

* Change the default namespace used to resolve referenced types (having attribues base="",type="")
so that when no prefix is specified: uses XML (node) namesapce instead of the targetNamespace.

* Apply fix as defined by davidglickonenw.org in ticket 13

* Update service definition to print to display service methods as ' my_method(xs:int arg0, Person arg1) '
instead of ' my_method(arg0{xs:int}, arg1{Person}) ' which is more like traditional method signatures

* Add xsd/python type converstion to unmarshaller (XBoolean only); refactor unmarshaller to use Content
class which makes apis cleaner, adds symmetry between marshaller(s) and unmarshaller(s),
provides good mechanism for schema-property based type conversions

* Refactor marshaller with Appenders; add nobuiltin flag to resolve() to support fix for
returned_type() and returnes_collection() in bindings.

* Add support for (202,204) http codes

* Add XBoolean and mappings; add findattr() to TreeResolver in preparation for type conversions

* Updated schema and schema property loading (deep recusion stopped); Changed Imported schemas so then no
longer copy imported schemas, rather the import proxies find requests; Add ServiceDefinition class which
provides better service inspection; also provides namespace mapping and show types; schema property api simplified;
support for xs:any and xs:anyType added; Some schema lookup problems fixed; Binding classes refactored slightly;
A lot of debug logging added (might have to comment some out for performance - some of the args are expensive).

* Add sudsobject.Property; a property is a special Object that contains a (value) attributeand is returned by the
Builder (factory) for schema-types without children such as: <element/> and <simpleType/>; Builder, Marshallers
and Resolvers updated to handle Properties; Resolver, Schema also updated to handle attribute lookups (this was missing)

* Add groundwork for user defined soap headers.

* Fix elementFormDefault per ticket 7

* Remove unused kwargs from bindings; cache bindings in wsdl; retrofit legacy ServiceProxy to delegate to {new} Client API;
remove keyword nil_supported in favor of natural handling by 'nillable' attribute on <element/> within schemas

* Add support for <element/> attribute flags (nillable and form)

* Add the Proxy (2nd generation API) class

* Add accessor/conversion functions to that user don't need to access __x__ attributes.
Also add todict() and get_items() for easy conversion to dictionary and iteration

* Search top-level elements for ref before looking deeper

* Add derived() to SchemaObject. This is needed to ensure that all derived types (wsdl classes)
are qualified by xsi:type without specifying the xsi:type for all custom types as did in earlier
releases of suds. Update the literal marshaller to only add the xsi:type when the type needs
to be specified.

* Change ns promotion in sax to prevent ns promoted to parent when parent has the prefix.

* Changed binding returned_type() to return the (unresolved) Element

* In order to support the new features and fix reported bugs,
I'm in the process of refactoring and hopefully evolving the components
in Suds that provide the input/output translations:

* Builder ( translates: XSD objects => python objects )
* Marshaller ( translates: python objects => XML/SOAP )
* Unmarshaller ( translates: soap/xml => python objects )

This evolution will provide better symmetry between these components as follows:

The Builder and Unmarshaller will produce python
(subclass of sudsobject.Object) objects with:

* __metadata__.__type__ = XSD type (SchemaObject)
* subclass name ( __class__.__name__ ) = schema-type name.

and

The Marshaller(s), while consuming python objects produced by the Builder or
Unmarshaller, will leverage this standard information to
produce the appropriate output ( XML/SOAP ).

The 0.2.1 code behaves *mostly* like this but ... not quite.
Also, the implementations have some redundancy.

While doing this, it made sense to factor out the common schema-type "lookup"
functionality used by the Builder, Marshallers and Unmarshaller classes into a
hierarchy of "Resolver" classes. This reduces the complexity and redundancy
of the Builder, Marshallers and Unmarshaller classes and allows for better
modularity. Once this refactoring was complete, the difference between the
literal/encoded Marshallers became very small. Given that the amount of code
in the bindings.literal and bindings.encoded packages was small (and getting smaller)
and in the interest of keeping the Suds code base compact, I moved all of the
marshalling classes to the bindings.marshaller module.
All of the bindings.XX sub-packages will be removed.

The net effect:

All of the Suds major components:

* client (old: service proxy)
* wsdl
* schema (xsd package)
* resolvers
* output (marshalling)
* builder
* input (unmarshalling)

Now have better:

* modularity
* symmetry with regard to Object metadata.
* code re-use (< 1% code duplication --- i hope)
* looser coupling

... and better provide for the following features/bug-fixes:

* (fix) Proper level of XML element qualification based on
<schema elementFormDefault=""/> attribute. This will ensure that when
elementFormDefault="qualified", Suds will include the proper namespace on
root elements for both literal and encoded bindings. In order for this to
work properly, the literal marshaller (like the encoded marshaller) needed
to be schema-type aware. Had i added the same schema-type lookup as the
encoded marshaller instead of the refactoring described above, the two
classes would have been almost a complete duplicate of each other :-(

* The builder and unmarshaller used the schema.Schema.find()
to resolve schema-types. They constructed a path as "person.name.first"
to resolve types in proper context. Since the Schema.find() was stateless,
it resolved the intermediate path elements on every call. The new resolver
classes are statefull and resolve child types *much* more efficiently.

* Prevent name collisions in sudsobject.Object like the items() method. I've moved all
methods (including class methods) to a Factory class that is included in the Object class
as a class attr ( __factory__ ). Now that *all* attributes have python built-in naming,
we should not have any more name collisions. This of course assumes that no wsdl/schema
entity names will have a name with the python built-in naming convention
but I have to draw the line somewhere :-)

* Update the schema.py SchemaProperty loading sequence so that the schema is loaded in 3 steps:
1) build the raw tree.
2) resolve dependancies such as ref and base.
3) promote grandchildren as needed to flatten (denormalize) the tree.

The wsdl was also changed to only load the schema once and store it. The schema collection was
changed to load schemas in 2 steps:
1) create all raw schema objects.
2) load schemas.

This ensure that local <import/>'d schemas can be found when referenced out of order.
The sax.py Element interface changed: attribute() replaced by get() and set().
Also, __getitem__ and __setitem__ can be used to access attribute values.
Epydocs updated for sax.py. And ... last <element ref=/> now supported properly.

* fix logging by: NOT setting to info in suds.__init__.logger(); set handler on root logger
only; moved logger (log) from classes to modules and use __name__ for logger name.
NOTE: This means that to enable soap message logging:
>
> logger('suds.serviceproxy').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
>
-- instead of --
>
> logger('serviceproxy').setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
>

* Add support for (xsd) schema <attribute/> nodes which primarily affects objects returned by the Builder

* Update serviceproxy.py:set_proxies() to log DEBUG instead of INFO.

* Enhance schema __str__ to show both the raw xml and the model (mostly for debugging).


version-0.2 (04-28-08):

* Contains the first cut at the rpc/encoded soap style.

* Replaced Property class with suds.sudsobject.Object. The Property class was developed a long time
ago with a slightly different purpose. The suds Object is a simpler (more straight forward) approach that
requires less code and works better in the debugger.

* The Binding (and the encoding) is selected on a per-method basis which is more consistent with the wsdl.
In <= 0.1.7, the binding was selected when the ServiceProxy was constructed and used for all service
methods. The binding was stored as self.binding. Since the WSDL provides for a separate binding style and
encoding for each operation, Suds needed to be change to work the same way.

* The (nil_supported) and (faults) flag(s) passed into the service proxy using **kwargs. In addition to these
flags, a (http_proxy) flag has been added and is passed to the urllib2.Request object. The following args
are supported:
* faults = Raise faults raised by server (default:True), else return tuple from service method invocation
as (http code, object).
* nil_supported = The bindings will set the xsi:nil="true" on nodes that have a value=None when this
flag is True (default:True). Otherwise, an empty node <x/> is sent.
* proxy = An http proxy to be specified on requests (default:{}).
The proxy is defined as {protocol:proxy,}

* Http proxy supported (see above).

* ServiceProxy refactored to delegate to a SoapClient. Since the service proxy exposes web services via getattr(),
any attribute (including methods) provided by the ServiceProxy class hides WS operations defined by the
wsdl. So, by moving everything to the SoapClient, wsdl operations are no longer hidden without
having to use *hoky* names for attributes and methods in the service proxy. Instead, the service proxy has
__client__ and __factory__ attributes (which really should be at low risk for name collision). For now the
get_instance() and get_enum() methods have not been moved to preserve backward compatibility. Although,
the prefered API change would to replace:

> service = ServiceProxy('myurl')
> person = service.get_instance('person')

... with something like ...

> service = ServiceProxy('myurl')
> person = service.__factory__.get_instance('person')

After a few releases giving time for users to switch the new API, the get_instance() and get_enum()
methods may be removed with a notice in big letters.

* Fixed problem where a wsdl doesn't define a <schema/> section and Suds can't resolve the prefixes for the
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema namespace to detect builtin types such as (xs:string).


version-0.1.7 (04-08-08):

* Added Binding.nil_supported to controls how property values (out) = None and empty tag (in) are processed.
* service.binding.nil_supported = True -- means that property values = None are marshalled (out) as
<x xsi:nil=true/> and <x/> is unmarshalled as '' and <x xsi:nil/> is unmarshalled as None.
* service.binding.nil_supported = False -- means that property values = None are marshalled (out) as
<x/> and <x/> *and* <x xsi:nil=true/> is unmarshalled as None.
The xsi:nil is really ignored.
* THE DEFAULT IS (TRUE)

* Sax handler updated to handle multiple character() callbacks when the sax parser "chunks" the text.
When the node.text is None, the node.text is set to the characters. Else, the characters are appended.
Thanks - andrea.spinelliimteam.it

* Replaced special (text) attribute with __text__ to allow for natural elements named "text"

* Add unicode support by:
* Add __unicode__ to all classes with __str__
* Replace all str() calls with unicode().
* __str__() returns UTF-8 encoded result of __unicode__.

* XML output encoded as UTF-8 which matches the HTTP header and supports unicode.

* SchemaCollection changed to provide the builtin() and custom() methods. To support this, findPrefixes() was added to the
Element in sax.py. This is a better approach anyway since the wsdl and schemas may have many prefixes
to http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema. Tested with both doc/lit and rpc/lit bindings

* Refactored bindings packages from document & rpc to literal & encoded

* Contains the completion of *full* namespace support as follows:

* Namespace prefixes are no longer stripped from attribute values that
reference types defined in the wsdl.
* Schema's imported using <import/> should properly handle namespace and prefix
mapping and re-mapping as needed.
* All types are resolved, using fully qualified (w/ namespaces) lookups.
* Schema.get_type() supports paths with and without ns prefixes. When no prefix
is specified the type is matched using the schema's target namespace.

* Property maintains attribute names (keys) in the order added. This also means
that get_item() and get_names() return ordered values.
( Although, I suspect ordering really needs to be done in the marshaller using the
order specified in the wsdl/schema )

Major refactoring of the schema.py. The primary goals is perparation for type lookups that are
fully qualified by namespace. Once completed, the prefixes on attribute values will not longer
be stripped (purged).
Change Summary:
1) SchemaProperty overlay classes created at __init__ instead of on-demand.
2) schema imports performed by new Import class instead of by Schema.
3) Schema loads top level properties using a factory.
4) All SchemaProperty /children/ lists are sorted by __cmp__ in SchemaProperty derived classes.
This ensures that types with the same name are resolved in the following order (Import, Complex, Simple, Element).
5) All /children/ SchemaProperty lists are constructed at __init__ instead of on-demand.
6) The SchemaGroup created and WSDL class updated. This works better then having the wsdl aggregate the <schema/>
nodes which severs linkage to the wsdl parent element that have namespace prefix mapping.
7) <import/> element handles properly in that both namespace remapping and prefix re-mapping of the imported schema's
targetNamespace and associated prefix mapping - is performed.
Eg: SCHMEA-A has prefix (tns) mapped as xmlns:tns=http://nsA and has targetNamespace=http://nsA.
SCHEMA-B is importing schema A and has prefix (abc) mapped as xmlns:abc=http://nsABC.
SCHEMA-B imports A as <import namespace=http://nsB xxx schemaLocation=http://nsA/schema-a.xsd>.
So, since SCHEMA-B will be referencing elements of SCHEMA-A with prefix (abc) such as abc:something, SCHEMA-A's
targetNamespace must be updated as http://nsABC and all element with type=tns:something must be updated to be
type=abc:something so then can be resolved.

* Fixes unmarshalling problem where nodes are added to property as (text, value). This as introduced when the
bindings were refactored.

* Fixed various Property print problems.

Notes:

Thanks to Jesper Noehr of Coniuro for the majority of the rpc/literal binding and
for lots of collaboration on suds.


version-0.1.6 (03-06-08):

* Provides proper handling of wsdls that contain schema sections containing
xsd schema imports: <import namespace="" schemaLocation=""?>. The
referenced schemas are imported when a schemaLocation is specified.
* Raises exceptions for http status codes not already handled.


version-0.1.5( 02-21-08 ):

* Provides better logging in the modules get logger by hierarchal names.
* Refactored as needed to truely support other bindings.
* Add sax module which replaces ElementTree. This is faster, simpler and
handles namespaces (prefixes) properly.


version-0.1.4 (12-21-07):

* Provides for service method parameters to be None.
* Add proper handling of method params that are lists of property
objects.


version-0.1.3 (12-19-07):

* Fixes problem where nodes marked as a collection (maxOccurs > 1) not
creating property objects with value=[] when mapped-in with < 2
values by the DocumentReader. Caused by missing the
bindings.Document.ReplyHint.stripns() (which uses the DocumentReader.stripns())
conversion to DocumentReader.stripn() now returning a tuple (ns,tag) as
of 0.1.2.


version-0.1.2 (12-18-07):

This release contains an update to property adds:
* metadata support
* overrides: __getitem__, __setitem__, __contans__
* changes property(reader|writer) to use the property.metadata
to handle namespaces for XML documents.
* fixes setup.py requires.


version-0.1.1 (12-17-07):

This release marks the first release in fedora hosted.
