Dynamic DCOP Server

There is a soap and wsdl library in ruby itself, I think rails uses that. At the moment I'm experimenting with extracting the parsed WSDL data to get methods that can be converted to DCOP slots. For instance, this will retrieve details about the Google search service:

require 'soap/wsdlDriver'
WSDL_URL = "http://api.google.com/GoogleSearch.wsdl"
google = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(WSDL_URL).createDriver
types = google.wsdl_mapping_registry.definedtypes
types.each {|e| 
    content = e.content
    name = e.name
    if content.to_s =~ /Sequence/
        puts "name: %s" % name
        puts "classname: %s" % name.class.name
        puts "content: %s" % content.class.name
        content.elements.each {|c|
            puts c.name
            puts c.type
        }
    end
}

It prints out stuff like this which is the doGoogleSearch() method with its arg names and types:

name: {urn:GoogleSearch}doGoogleSearch
classname: XSD::QName
content: WSDL::XMLSchema:: Sequence
{}key
{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}string
{}q
{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}string
{}start
{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}int
{}maxResults
{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}int
{}filter
{http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}boolean
...

That needs to be converted to a DCOP type signature, along with some ruby code for the corresponding method to access the soap service.

k_dcop 'QStringList doGoogleSearch(QString,QString,int,int,bool,QString,bool,QString,QString,QString)'

def doGoogleSearch(key, q, start, maxResults, filter, restrict, safeSearch, lr, ie, oe)
    result = @google.doGoogleSearch(key, q, start, maxResults, filter, restrict, safeSearch, lr, ie, oe)
    result.resultElements.each do |ele|
      puts "== #{html2rd(ele.title)}: #{ele.URL}"
      puts html2rd(ele.snippet)
      puts
    end
end
