soaplib with Flask

soaplib with Flask

From:

Hi all:

I wanted to ask if anyone had experience running SOAP services with Flask.
I think I'd like to use soaplib (currently using 2.0.0-beta) because of its
automatic WSDL file creation, but if anyone has other options I am all ears.
With soaplib, I've been able to make my own SOAP service outside of Flask
and successfully serve it.  I want to know if there is any way to integrate
it within Flask, similar to this example with web.py and soaplib:
http://webpy.org/cookbook/webservice  Basically, I don't know what to do
with my Service class to get them to run in Flask.


class HelloWorldService(DefinitionBase):
>     @rpc(String,Integer,_returns=Array(String))
>     def say_hello(self,name,times):
>         results = []
>         for i in range(0,times):
>             results.append('Hello, %s'%name)
>         return results
>

if __name__=='__main__':
>         soap_application = soaplib.core.Application([HelloWorldService],
> 'tns')
>         wsgi_application = wsgi.Application(soap_application)
>         #now what?
>

Any help or advice on how to get started is much appreciated!

Hi James.

You probably want to do use werkzeug's Dispatcher middleware to combine your
flask app with your soaplib app. It could look something like this:

Recommendation:

Instead of this:

     flask_app = Middleware(flask_app)

Do this instead:


     flask_app.wsgi_app = Middleware(flask_app.wsgi_app)

Why?  Because then you don't loose the reference to flask_app.

Armin
