SCA for PHP can generate WSDL from the annotations within a service component, so that it can be easily deployed and exposed as a Web service. To provide SCA with the information it needs to generate the WSDL, it is necessary to add the annotation @binding.soap under the @service annotation and to specify the parameters and return values of the methods using the @param and @return annotations. These annotations will be read when WSDL is generated, and the order and types of the parameters determine the contents of the <schema> section of the WSDL.
SCA for PHP always generates document/literal wrapped WSDL for components that are exposing a Web service. Note that this does not stop components from consuming Web services which are not SCA components and which are documented with WSDL written in a different style.
The scalar types which can be used in the @param annotation are the four common PHP scalar types: boolean, integer, float and string. These are simply mapped to the XML schema types of the same name in the WSDL. The example below, which is a trivial implementation of the StockQuote service that the ConvertedStockQuote component calls, illustrates string and float types.
Example #1 StockQuote Service
<?php
include "SCA/SCA.php";
/**
* Scaffold implementation for a remote StockQuote Web service.
*
* @service
* @binding.soap
*
*/
class StockQuote {
/**
* Get a stock quote for a given ticker symbol.
*
* @param string $ticker The ticker symbol.
* @return float The stock quote.
*/
function getQuote($ticker) {
return 80.9;
}
}
?>
WSDL much like the following (though with a service location other than 'localhost', probably) would be generated from this service:
