Summary

WSRF::Lite is an implementation of the Web Service Resource Framework (WSRF), which is built on SOAP::Lite. It provides support for WSRF, WS-Addressing and for digitally signing a SOAP messages using an X.509 certificate according to the OASIS WS-Security standard.

Download

Download the latest version of WSRF::Lite.] from CPAN (Comprehensive Perl Archive Network). WSRF::Lite was included in CPAN in 2008, which is a measure of its importance within the Perl community.

Status

Version 0.8.2.6 is available for download from CPAN.

System requirements

This version of WSRF::Lite requires SOAP::Lite version 0.67 (or later) which can be downloaded from http;//www.soaplite.com/ or retrieved from CPAN.

The Container and associated modules are written in Perl and have been tested and run on Perl 5.6 and later.

To use the Container you need to install the SOAP::Lite, LWP, XML::DOM, Sys::Hostname::Long, DateTime, DateTime::Format::Epoch DateTime::Format::W3CDTF and Storable modules. These can all be installed using CPAN.

To use WS-Security for signing or verifying messages you will also need: Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA, MIME::Base64, Digest::SHA1, and Crypt::OpenSSL::X509 and XML::CanonicalizeXML - these can all be retrieved from CPAN.

If you cannot use CPAN, because you do not have root privileges for example you, you can install required modules by downloading them and building them by hand. Another possibility is to configure CPAN to run as a normal user, the file CPAN_help gives pointers on how to do this.

If you run into problems with Module::Build, which is used by DateTime see http://kato.mvc.mcc.ac.uk/rss-wiki/SoftwareInstallation/ModuleBuild

You should update your CPAN shell issuing a "install Bundle::CPAN" before doing anything else. People have reported error (unresolved version conflicts) while installing required packages (DateTime::Format::Epoch) with prior versions of CPAN (1.7x)
