XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon::NetServer - SOAP server based on Net::Server

=head1 INHERITANCE

 XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon::NetServer
   is a XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 #### have a look in the examples directory!
 use XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon::NetServer;
 use XML::Compile::SOAP11;
 use XML::Compile::SOAP::WSA;  # optional

 # Be warned that the daemon will be Net::Server based, which
 # consumes command-line arguments! "local @ARGV;" maybe useful
 my $daemon  = XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon::NetServer->new;

 # daemon definitions from WSDL
 my $wsdl    = XML::Compile::WSDL11->new(...);
 $wsdl->importDefinitions(...); # more schemas
 $daemon->operationsFromWSDL($wsdl, callbacks => ...);

 # daemon definitions added manually (when no WSDL)
 my $soap11  = XML::Compile::SOAP11::Server->new(schemas => $wsdl->schemas);
 my $handler = $soap11->compileHandler(...);
 $daemon->addHandler('getInfo', $soap11, $handler);

 # see what is defined:
 $daemon->printIndex;

 # finally, run the server.  This never returns.
 $daemon->run(@daemon_options);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module handles the exchange of SOAP messages over HTTP with
Net::Server as daemon implementation, It uses HTTP::Request and
HTTP::Response object provided by LWP, via functions provided by
L<XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon::LWPutil|XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon::LWPutil>.

This abstraction level of the object (code in this pm file) is not
concerned with parsing or composing XML, but only worries about the
HTTP transport specifics of SOAP messages.  The processing of the SOAP
message is handled by the L<XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon|XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon> base-class.

The server is as flexible as possible: accept M-POST (HTTP Extension
Framework) and POST (standard HTTP) for any message.  It can be used
for any SOAP1.1 and SOAP1.2 mixture.  Although SOAP1.2 itself is
not implemented yet.

=item XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon::NetServer-E<gt>B<new>(OPTIONS)

Create the server handler, which extends some class which implements
a Net::Server daemon. Any daemon configuration parameter should
be passed with L<run()|XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon::NetServer/"Running the server">.  This is a little tricky.  Read below in the
L</Configuration options> section.

 -Option            --Defined in     --Default
  accept_slow_select  XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon  <true>
  based_on                             Net::Server::PreFork
  output_charset      XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon  'UTF-8'
  soap_action_input   XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon  {}

  wsa_action_output   XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon  {}

=item based_on => any Net::Server OBJECT|CLASS

You may pass your own Net::Server compatible daemon, if you feel a need
to initialize it or prefer an other one.  Preferrably, pass configuration
settings to L<run()|XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon::NetServer/"Running the server">. You may also specify any Net::Server compatible
CLASS name.

=head2 Configuration options

This module will wrap any kind of Net::Server, for instance a
Net::Server::PreFork.  It depends on the type of C<Net::Server>
you specify (see L<new(based_on)|XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon::NetServer/"METHODS">) which configuration options are
available on the command-line, in a configuration file, or with L<run()|XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon::NetServer/"Running the server">.
Each daemon extension implementation will add some configuration options
as well.

Any C<XML::Compile::SOAP::Daemon::NetServer> object will have the following
additional configuration options:

  Key             Value             Default
  client_timeout  integer seconds   30
  client_maxreq   integer           100
  client_reqbonus integer seconds   0
  name            string            "soap daemon"

Some general configuration options of Net::Server have a
different default.  See also the next section about logging.

  Key             Value             New default
  setsid          boolean           true
  background      boolean           true

For each client, we like to have a reset of the connection after some
time, for two reasons: perl processes are usually leaking memory a bit
so should not live for ever, and you can experience denial of service
attacks.  The C<client_timeout> value details the number of seconds
a connection may live, but that will be increase by C<client_reqbonus>
for every received message.  In any case, after C<client_maxreq> messages
were handled, the connection will be terminated.

The C<name> is included in the reply messages.

=head3 logging

An attempt is made to merge XML::Compile's Log::Report and Net::Server
log configuration.  By hijacking the C<log()> method, all Net::Server
internal errors are dispatched over the Log::Report framework.  Log levels
are translated into report reasons: 0=ERROR, 1=WARNING, 2=NOTICE, 3=INFO,
4=TRACE.

When you specify C<Sys::Syslog> or a filename, default dispatchers of type
SYSLOG resp FILE are created for you.  When the C<log_file> type is set to
C<Log::Report>, you have much more control over the process, but all log
related configuration options will get ignored.  In that case, you must
have initialized the dispatcher framework the way Log::Report is doing
it: before the daemon is initiated. See Log::Report subroutine dispatcher.

  Key          Value                            Default
  log_file     filename|Sys::Syslog|Log::Report Log::Report
  log_level    0..4 | REASON                    2 (NOTICE)
