The Zuora API documentation includes many code samples based in SOAP. Many developers new to SOAP often do not realize that their programming is only generating and receiving XML from a webservice. Even if they do, they are often unsure how to view the XML, even when debugging their code.

Perl

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict;
use warnings;
use SOAP::Lite +trace => 'all';
my ($SOAP_BASE, $USERNAME, $PASSWORD) = @ARGV;
my $contact_client = SOAP::Lite->new ( proxy => $SOAP_BASE . 'contact.php', ns = > 'urn:ContactService', );
my $token = $contact_client->login($USERNAME, $PASSWORD)->result;

PHP5

list(, $SOAP_BASE, $USERNAME, $PASSWORD) = $argv; 
$contact_client = new SoapClient($SOAP_BASE . 'contact.php?wsdl', array('trace' => true)); 
$token = $contact_client->login($USERNAME, $PASSWORD); 
$soap_request = $contact_client->__getLastRequest(); 
$soap_response = $contact_client->__getLastResponse(); 
echo "SOAP request:\n$soap_request\n"; 
echo "SOAP response:\n$soap_response\n";

PHP4

require_once('lib_soap/nusoap.php');
list(, $SOAP_BASE, $ADV_USERNAME, $ADV_PASSWORD) = $_SERVER['argv'];
$contact_client = new SoapClient($SOAP_BASE . 'contact.php?wsdl', true);
$token = $contact_client->call('login',
                                array('user' => $ADV_USERNAME,
                                'pass' => $ADV_PASSWORD));
echo "SOAP request:\n" . $contact_client->request . "\n";
echo "SOAP response:\n" . $contact_client->response . "\n";

C++

Compile the stdsoap2.cpp source code with C/C++ compiler option '-DDEBUG' ('/DDEBUG' in MSVC++). Executing your service or client application logs the activities in the following files:

• SENT.log: This file contains the messages sent.

• RECV.log: This file contains the messages received.

• TEST.log: This file contains the trace information.

C#

Save the following code with the name SqlSoapTracer.cs in the same folder that contains the SOAP client project files.

Perform the following steps in the Solution Explorer window:

[System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapRpcMethodAttribute("urn:ContactService#login", 
RequestNamespace="urn:ContactService", ResponseNamespace="urn:ContactService")] 
[return: System.Xml.Serialization.SoapElementAttribute("token")] 
[snoopattribute()] public string login(string user, string pass, login_options login_options) 
{ object[] results = this.Invoke("login", new object[] { user, pass, login_options}); return 
  ((string)(results[

Java

Save this file as client-config.wsdd in the working directory of your Axis client. Axis will load it automatically. This configuration tells Axis to save all incoming and outgoing XML into a file named axis.log.

<deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/" xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java">
<handler name="log" type="java:org.apache.axis.handlers.LogHandler"/>
<globalConfiguration>
<requestFlow>
<handler type="log"/>
<requestFlow>
<responseFlow>
<handler type="log"/&gt; &lt;responseFlow>
<globalConfiguration>
<transport name="http" pivot="java:org.apache.axis.transport.http.HTTPSender"/>
</deployment>

Ruby

#!/usr/bin/ruby
require "soap/wsdlDriver"
(soap_base, username, password) = ARGV
contact_client = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(soap_base + 'contact.php?wsdl').create_rpc_driver
contact_client.wiredump_dev = STDOUT;
token = contact_client.login(username, password, nil)

Python

When using SOAPpy, make sure to add the import tag below for the object.api.zuora.com schema:

<import namespace="http://api.zuora.<wbr/>com/" />

And also the import tag below for the api.zuora.com schema:

<import namespace="http://object.api.<wbr/>zuora.com/" />

#!/usr/bin/python
import sys
import SOAPpy
SOAPpy.Config.debug = 1
(SOAP_BASE, USERNAME, PASSWORD) = sys.argv[1:4]
contact_client = SOAPpy.SOAPProxy(SOAP_BASE + 'contact.php')
token = contact_client.login(USERNAME, PASSWORD)

Tips

If you are using the GlassFish application server, add the following configuration information to the domain.xml file:

<jvm-options>-Dorg.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-Dorg.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.showdatetime=true</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-Dorg.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.log.httpclient.wire=debug</jvm-options>
<jvm-options>-Dorg.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.log.org.apache.commons.httpclient=debug</jvm-
options>
