03 June 2013 - Multiple updates on platform and WsdlToPhp project
- Platform updates:
- Initiating Blog: in order to share informations, advices and sample code. This Blog will be used to let you know how to use the generator on our platform. Moreover, we'll share informations about the issues we are facing.
- Homepage design review: our platform is going to have new features in the next few months so we're upgrading slowly but surely its design and contents.
- From now, you must provide your email address so we can contact you if we find any issue in your generated package that can't be solved by yourself.
- Moreover, if we're asked how a WSDL has been published on our platform, we'll contact you in order to learn from you why you published the WSDL.
- We also want to reassure you that we'll never divulgate your email address to anyone, it stays private!
- The projects we use: this page contains credits for every project we use for our platform. As we use many open source projects, we are pretty proud to let you know that we are satisfied by their usage
- Subscribe to our newsletter: when generating a package, you can now subscribe to our newsletter. We use MailChimp to manage our newsletter. Don't worry, you won't be spammed as nowadays we don't have prepared any newsletter, but it should come in the future.
- WsdlToPhp Project updates:
- We mainly added a generic way to add PHP doc block tags to every generated PHP files and classes. This enhancement has been made thanks to the initiative of Gemorroj on Github. We then use this enhancement on our platform to add the @author, @version and @date tags to the generated packages.
- We also fixed other minor incoherences.
- From now, we won't list each update because you can easily find them on your prefered open source sharing website that you can find on the About page.
23 April 2013 - Updates on WsdlToPhp project
- Several updates have been made on the WsdlToPhp project as listed below:
- Minor bug fix which. The bug occurred rarely when defining Soap Header php doc on Service classes: deployed on Gihutb, Source Forge and Google Code
- Minor generated setters PHP doc fix in generated Struct classes: deployed on Github, Source Forge and Google Code
- Improve element's PHP doc catching for Struct classes: deployed on Github, Source Forge and Google Code
- Adding generic __set_state() method to generated WsdlClass and each Struct class. Ensure that generated method don't override a PHP magic method. All deployed on Github, Source Forge and Google Code
10 April 2013 - WsdlToPhp Project fixes and improvements
- Bug fix in setSoapHeader*() generated methods and improvements: deployed on Github, Source Forge and Google Code
- Fix parameter name when instantiating the SoapHeader object in the setSoapHeader*() method
- Add *WsdlClass::setLocation($_location) method in order to ease the location Web service setting
- Ensure generated methods for each operation doesn't override an existing method in the *WsdlClass
- Improve the WsdlToPhpModel::getValueWithinItsType() method in order to return null value when needed even if it's an integer that is expected (0 was previously returned instead of null)
08 April 2013 - New *WsdlClass methods
- Two new main methods have been added to the generated WsdlClass: deployed on Github, Source Forge and Google Code
- getLastRequest($_asDomDocument = false): this method returns the result gotten by calling the SoapClient::__getLastRequest() method but with the difference that the result is formated with indentation using the PHP native DOMDocument class. As it's using the DOMDocument class, it can return the object instead of the string if it suits you most.
- getLastResponse($_asDomDocument = false): this method returns the result gotten by calling the SoapClient::__getLastResponse() method but with the difference that the result is formated with indentation using the PHP native DOMDocument class. As it's using the DOMDocument class, it can return the object instead of the string if it suits you most.
- These two methods use a third method which has been named getFormatedXml($_string,$_asDomDocument = false). This method receives a string as first parameter and a boolean value as second parameter in order to know if the result has to be returned as a formated string or as a DOMDocument object. So, you can call it for any other purpose if you wish.
06 April 2013 - WsdlToPhp project has been updated!
- The project has been updated on: Github, Source Forge and Google Code.
- The update contains:
- A new feature: in order to ease the usage of the generated methods when SoapHeader(s) is/are required, new methods are now generated. Indeed, setting SoapHeader can be sometimes tricky or not very clear when you don't feel comfortable with the use of the generated classes. So now setSoapHeader{soap header name} methods are generated for each needed Soap header param within the Service type classes. The methods are pretty useful and easy to use as the parameters are explicits and are nearly identical to the native Soapheader::__construct method. The advantage is that most of the time, you'll only have to call the setSoapHeader{soap header name} method(s) by passing the first parameter which is the header param value because the main calls are embeded in the method.
- "from schema" meta: this new meta information is now always included in the main class doc block for generated Enum and Struct classes. This meta information is pretty useful when the WSDL includes/imports more than one schema and you don't know which schema declares the Enum or Struct element.
- *WsdlClass::__construct(,$_resetSoapClient = true): the generated constructor now accepts a second parameter which allows to disable the SoapClient object reset. Useful when you need to keep the SoapClient state between two distinct service calls.
- WsdlToPhpModel::getValueWithinItsType(,$_knownType = null): the method now accepts a second parameter, a string, that informs the method of the expected value returned type. The default behaviour has been kept.
- *Struct*::__construct(): the generated method doc block and body now takes account of the *WsdlClass generation or not. If the *WsdlClass is not generated, it now uses the class proper setters and so the doc block indicates their usage.
20 February 2013 - WsdlToPhp project and websites updates since the last time
- Project updates:
- differenciation between WsdlToPhpGenerator::manageWsdlNodeElement() and WsdlToPhpGenerator::manageWsdlNodeAttribute(), deployed on Github, SourceForge and Google Code
- many php doc and methods behaviour updates for each class, deployed on Github, SourceForge and Google Code
- generated php doc improvement asked by a Github pull request, deployed on Github, SourceForge and Google Code
- new feature: generated classes can now be categorized by their type, it means depending on the WsdlToPhpModel::getContextualPart() returned value, sub folder are then unused in this case, deployed on Github, SourceForge and Google Code
- Website updates: you can now use the new "Main Folder Categorization" type entitled "Based on the class type" in the "General Options" tab before submiting your WSDL
04 February 2013 - Adding new feature "audit" and various enhancements
- WsdlToPhp project updates: new feature (audit) and enhancements, deployed on Github, SourceForge and Google Code
- Audit is a new feature which allows to determine what takes most of the generation time during the whole generation process. It stores informations (calls number, time spent and last call time) so that each call can be audited. Audit is filled calling WsdlToPhpGenerator::auditInit() at function start then WsdlToPhpGenerator::audit() to calculate time spent and calls number. Audit informations are stored using the WsdlToPhpGenerator global storage data. Audit can be accessed using the WsdlToPhpGenerator::getAudit() method which returns an associative array of all audited calls
- Improve inheritance determination, operation parameter/return type determination and struct attributes type determination by browsing schemas sequentially in order to analyze several particular tags (header, list, union, attribute, input, output)
- Improve location management system in order to allow local schemas file loading
- Minor review of attributes declaration for WsdlToPhpModel type classes
- Minor review of documentation management for php doc
- All these updates are provided on the website and are accessible right now (except audit which is used on background)

- Sort case sensitively return types in the getResult() method php doc.
- Refactoring WsdlTophpStructValue::getCleanName() method fixes #6 Github issue concerning "PHP Warning : Strict Standards: Declaration of WsdlToPhpStructValue::getCleanName() should be compatible with WsdlToPhpModel::getCleanName() in WsdlToPhpStructValue.php on line 107"
14 January 2013 - Github pull requests integrated
- Merge updates on php doc fixes from Github pull request, deployed on Github, SourceForge and Google Code
- Minor enhancement in order to avoid generation of empty structs (no attributes) that don't inherit from another generated struct, deployed on Github, SourceForge and Google Code
02 January 2013 - WsdlToPhp project new release
- This release makes the WsdlToPhp class deprecated which is replaced by the WsdlToPhpGenerator class as for the samples.php file replaced by the samples-generator.php file. WsdlToPhpGenerator class uses a set of classes which inherits from the new class named WsdlToPhpModel. The classes are :
- WsdlToPhpFunction : an operation
- WsdlToPhpService : a set of operations represented by WsdlToPhpFunction objects
- WsdlToPhpStructAttribute : an attribute of a struct
- WsdlToPhpStructValue : a value of an enumeration struct
- WsdlToPhpStruct : a struct which can be a request object, a response object, an enumeration definition or any useful object defined in the WSDL
- WsdlToPhpModel : defines the generic methods and features of the previous classes
- WsdlToPhpGenerator is based on the original WsdlToPhp class but full reviewed in order to use the new classes. This new set of classes make enhancements and bug fixes easier to implement.
- Is also fixes some bugs and misunderstandings about the content of the WSDL and its structs.
- It now adds good php doc blocks in order to generate php documentation with phpdocumentor. It introduces package, subpackage and has improved general documentation.
- Moreover, generated classes are strictly separated by their naming :
- {PackageName}Service : class which gathers the operations/functions (based on their name)
- {PackageName}Struct : class which represents a struct type which can be used either for requesting or catching response
- {PackageName}Enum* : class which represents an enumeration of values. Each value is defined with a constant
- {PackageName}WsdlClass : mother class of all generated class if enabled. This class defines all the generic methods and the needed configurations/methods to call the SOAP WS
- {PackageName}ClassMap : class that constains one final public static method which returns the array to map structs/enums to generated classes
- You can see the phpdoc about this whole package here : http://phpdoc.WsdlToPhp.com/.
- For even more informations, also read the main php doc block located in the WsdlToPhpGenerator class file to see all features and tested cases.
- Deplopyed on Github, SourceForge and Google Code and on this website of course !
