APIs

1. Programming Model Overview

The C WS-Core provides interfaces for developers interested in writing web services and clients in C. The primary APIs available to the developer are the C stub bindings generated from WSDL and XSD. These APIs provide the structures and type definitions for each XML Schema type, client stub functions for invoking services, and service skeleton code that allows service writers to fill in the service implementation.

The client stub bindings provide the following:

  • Portable ANSI-C API
  • Control of message handling and configurable attributes through client handles
  • Asynchronous stub functions for non-blocking requests
  • EPR encapsulation for easy interaction with resources
  • Convenient handling of XSD wildcards

For service writers, the C WS-Core provides service-side skeleton bindings that perform the necessary routing and marshalling for a service operation. The interface to the developer is through the service implementation functions that must be filled in. The service-side programming model includes the ability to load operation providers, which are generic operation implementations that exist over a set of services. This is useful with WSRF, where pseudo-operation inheritance exists. As well, message handling can be controlled at the service implementation level, providing flexibility and control to the service developer.

The C WS-Core provides resource management using the resource API. This is a C API that can be invoked from within C services for creation, access, and control of resources and resource properties.

2. Component API

  • Resource and Resource Property API: Useful for writing WSRF-enabled services. This API allows resources to be created, accessed, and modified from within a C Web Service implementation.
  • Service Engine and Message Attributes: The message attributes provides mechanisms for manipulating runtime parameters of messages. This includes security setup, specific HTTP and WS-Addressing configuration, among others.

    The service engine API is useful for embedding Web Services in C programs. This API allows an application to directly control service invocations and interact with services as they are being invoked. It also provides a convenient API for running a NotificationConsumer service (receiving notifications) from within a client application.

  • Notification Consumer API: Allows creation of NotificationConsumer resource instances from a client API. This API can be used in combination with the Service Engine API to receive notifications.
  • WSRF Core Bindings API: These are the types generated from the set of core WSRF schemas. For example, the wsa_EndpointReferenceType passed to all EPR stub functions is a generated type from the WS-Addressing schema. The other schemas include:

    • WS-Addressing
    • WS-BaseFaults
    • WS-ResourceProperties
    • WS-ResourceLifetime
    • WS-BaseN
    • WS-ServiceGroup

Name

globus-wsc-container — Host C web services

Synopsis

globus-wsc-container [-help] [-usage] [-version]
[-bg] [-pidfile PID]
[-max MAX-SESSIONS]
[-port PORT]
[-log LOGPATH]
[-nosec]

Description

The globus-wsc-container is a stand-alone SOAP service hosting container. It listens for SOAP / HTTP operation requests on a network port and dispatches those to dynamically loaded service modules. By default, globus-wsc-container will process SOAP messages until it receives a SIGINT or SIGTERM signal. In interactive usage, it typically runs until the user enters Ctrl+C on the keyboard.

The full set of command-line options to globus-wsc-container are:

-helpDisplay a help message and exit
-usageDisplay a short usage message and exit
-versionDisplay the program version and exit
-bgRun the program as a daemon
-pid PIDFILEWrite the process ID of the program to PIDFILE
-max MAX-SESSIONSAllow at most MAX-SESSIONS concurrent sessions to be processed by the program
-port PORTListen for SOAP/HTTP(s) connections on TCP port PORT
-log LOGPATHLog container information to LOGPATH
-nosecDisable TLS

By default, the globus-wsc-container program picks an anonymous TCP port within values specified by the GLOBUS_TCP_PORT_RANGE environment variable, if present. To choose a specific port to listen on, pass the option -port PORT on the command-line of the process.

The globus-wsc-container program can also be run in the background as a daemon. This is done by passing the -bg command-line option. This can be combined with the -pidfile PID option to run in the background and record the PID of the process in a file, so that the daemon can be easily terminated.

By default, the container uses TLS for SOAP requests over https. This can be disabled to use unprotected http by passing the -nosec command-line option to this program. Message-level security may be enabled on a per-service basis if this is used.

To enable CEDPs "best practices" logging, pass the -log LOGPATH option to the container. The log file will contain name=value pairs for all events that the container processes.

By default the container will accept as many SOAP connections as the operating system will allow. To throttle the number of outstanding connections that can be processed in parallel, use the -max MAX-SESSIONS command-line option.

Services

The container looks for services in dynamic modules located in the $GLOBUS_LOCATION/lib/globus_service_modules directory. The Globus Toolkit ships with a number of sample services, test services, and implementations of the core WSRF services for implementing Resource Properties, Resource Lifetime, Service Groups, and Notifications. The globus-wsrf-cgen command parses WSDL schemas and generates service skeletons which can be used to implement additional web services.

Examples

Start a container in the foreground on port 8443:

% globus-wsc-container -port 8443

Contact: https://grid.example.org:8443/

Star a container as a daemon on an anonymous port, with a maximum of 64 parallel sessions, recording the port number to a file and logging to another file.

% globus-wsc-container \
    -bg \
    -pidfile $GLOBUS_LOCATION/var/globus-wsc-container.pid \
    -log $GLOBUS_LOCATION/var/globus-wsc-container.log \

Name

globus-wsrf-cgen — Generate Stubs/Skeletons in C

Synopsis

globus-wsrf-cgen [-help] [-dr]
[-s PACKAGE-NAME] [-sn SERVICE-NAME] [-d DIRECTORY] [-flavor FLAVOR] [-lang [ c | cpp ]]
[-p PREFIX-MAP-FILE] [-P NAMESPACE=PREFIX]
[-n NAMESPACE-FILE] [-N NAMESPACE]
[-g NAMESPACE-FILE] [-G NAMESPACE] [-gg]
[-np] [-nb] [-nk] [-ns] [-nc] [-no-sources] [-nt] [-nf FUNCTION]
[-extra-cppflags CPPFLAGS] [-extra-ldflags LDFLAGS] [-extra-libs LIBS]
SCHEMA-FILENAME...

Description

The globus-wsrf-cgen tool generates C-language bindings from WSDL and XML Schema files. The input SCHEMA-FILENAME value should be either a WSDL document containing a service description or an XML schema file containing type definitions.

If a WSDL Schema file is specified as input, globus-wsrf-cgen generates a GPT source package containing client stubs, service skeleton and stubs, and type bindings for included schema types. If an XML Schema file is specified as input, it generates a GPT source package containing type bindings. A full description of the generated files is part of the WSDL to C mapping document.

The full set of command-line options to globus-wsrf-cgen are:

-helpDisplay a help message and exit
-drDry-run: parse the command-line options and display the command-line arguments to the globus-wsdl-parser program.
-s PACKAGE-NAMEUse PACKAGE-NAME_bindings as the name for the generated GPT package
-sn SERVICE-NAMEUse SERVICE-NAME as the name of the service instead of the name in the WSDL schema document.
-d DIRECTORYGenerate the GPT source package in DIRECTORY, creating it if does not exist.
-flavor FLAVORBuild the package using the FLAVOR GPT flavor
-lang LANGCreate the service implementation file with the extension matching LANG, either "c" or "cpp". See the limitations section for more details.
-p PREFIX-MAP-FILEUse the contents of PREFIX-MAP-FILE to define the set of strings to prepend to elements, attributes, and types in various XML namespaces. See the namespace handling section of this document for more details.
-P NAMESPACE=PREFIXPrepend element, attribute, and type names in the XML namespace NAMESPACE with the string PREFIX. See the namespace handling section of this document for more details.
-n NAMESPACE-FILEGenerate bindings for schemas in the XML namespaces contained in the NAMESPACE-FILE. See the namespace handling section of this document for more details.
-N NAMESPACEGenerate bindings for schemas in the XML namespace NAMESPACE. See the namespace handling section of this document for more details.
-g NAMESPACE-FILEDo not generate bindings for schemas in the XML namespaces contained in the NAMESPACE-FILE. See the namespace handling section of this document for more details.
-G NAMESPACEDo not generate bindings for schemas in the XML namespace NAMESPACE. See the namespace handling section of this document for more details.
-ggDo not generate bindings for core WSRF namespaces. (Used internally only)
-npDo not generate a GPT package. Only create source files from the schemas. Implies -nb.
-nbDo not attempt to run configure and make dist on the generated GPT source package.
-nkDo not generate a skeleton service implementation. Used in Makefiles for packages that want to generate the types at build time, but already contain a full implementation of the service.
-nsDo not generate service bindings and skeletons. Useful for creating types- or client-only packages.
-ncDo not generate client bindings. Useful for creating types- or service-only packages.
-ntDo not generate type bindings. Useful for creating separate service or client bindings that depend on a common types package.
-no-sourcesDelay generating C source files until the package is built. By default the package Makefile contains a list of source files. This option delays the creation of the files and the list until build time. This can be used to avoid storing dynamic files in a version control system.
-nf FUNCTIONDo not generate an implementation of FUNCTION. This is useful if extra semantic information is needed to serialize or deserialize a particular data type (for example, the wsnt:TopicExpressionType requires different processing based on the value of the Dialect
-extra-cppflags CPPFLAGSAdd CPPFLAGS to the preprocessor command-line for this package.
-extra-ldflags LDFLAGSAdd LDFLAGS to the linker command-line for this package.
-extra-libs LIBSAdd LIBS to the libraries to link with this package.

Namespace Handling

XML and WSDL schemas generally contain a targetNamespace attribute which distinguishes operations, elements, attributes, type, etc from others with the same name. The C language does not define namespaces. globus-wsrf-cgen instead uses prefixes to distinguish similarly-named data types and functions. There are two ways to define a namespace prefix with globus-wsrf-cgen. The -P command-line option defines a single namespace prefix, and the -p command-line option instructs globus-wsrf-cgen to load a set of prefix definitions from a file (one per line).

For example, consider the namepace http://counter.com from the sample CounterService. In the schema for that service, there is an element named Value. the command-line option -P http://counter.com=counter_ will cause globus-wsrf-cgen to generate bindings for that element with the name counter_Value.

If a service is built from several namespaces it might make sense instead to use the -P parameter instead. Using the same service as the previous example, we could instead create a file containing

http://counter.com=counter_
http://another.counter.com=another_counter_

to generate C prefixes for multiple namespaces.

A service may be composed of operations and data types from multiple namespaces. By default globus-wsrf-cgen generates bindings for all namespaces except those used by the core WSRF specifications. These are (along with their C prefixes):

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/enumerationwsen_

Often it is enough for a package to contain bindings for the namespaces unique to the service and compile against other packages which contain the bindings for the other namespaces. This control can be done positively via the -N and -n command-line options.

For example, to generate bindings for the http://counter.com namespace only, pass the command-line option -N http://counter.com. To generate for both the http://counter.com nd http://another.counter.com namespaces, either pass multiple -N options with one namespace each, or create a file containing:

http://counter.com
http://another.counter.com

and pass the name of the file to globus-wsrf-cgen as the parameter to the -n command-line option.

Examples

Here is a brief example of the globus-wsrf-cgen command. For more details, see the tutorials in the C WS Core developer documentation.

Create bindings for a service in the http://counter.com namespace:

% globus-wsrf-cgen -d counter \
    -N http://counter.com \
    -s counter \
    -P http://counter.com=counter_ \
    $GLOBUS_LOCATION/share/schemas/core/samples/counter_service.wsdl















Creating Bindings Package

A new package has been created at /home/griduser/counter/counter_bindings-1.2.tar.gz
To install, use the following command:

$GLOBUS_LOCATION/sbin/gpt-build /Users/bester/tmp/foo/counter/counter_bindings-1.2.tar.gz <flavor>

Limitations

  • This program only generates bindings from document/literal style WSDL schemas. IBM developerworks has an article describing the different WSDL schema styles.
  • The bindings generated when -lang cpp is used are ANSI-C. However, all C++ keywords are avoided and no constructs that differ between C and C++ are used. This command-line option merely creates a makefile which compiles the service implementation with the C++ compiler.
  • Not all XML Schema constructs are supported. In particular, abstract types, substitution groups, and nested sequences are not implemented.

Error CodeDefinitionPossible Solutions
globus_soap_message_module: Failed sending request http://widgets.com/WidgetPortType/createWidgetRequest. globus_xio: Unable to connect to grid.example.org:8080 globus_xio: System error in connect: Connection refused globus_xio: A system call failed: Connection refused Unable to contact service container Check that the service endpoint refers to a running container.
globus_soap_message_module: Failed sending request http://widgets.com/WidgetPortType/createWidgetRequest. globus_xio_gsi: gss_init_sec_context failed. GSS Major Status: Unexpected Gatekeeper or Service Name globus_gsi_gssapi: Authorization denied: The name of the remote entity (/C=US/O=Globus Alliance/OU=Service/CN=host/grid.example.org), and the expected name for the remote entity (/C=US/O=Globus Alliance/OU=Service/CN=host/cloud.example.org) do not match Service is not running with the expected security credential. Verify that the service credential being presented by the service (first parenthesized name) is a reasonable certificate name for the service. If so, set the GLOBUS_SOAP_MESSAGE_PEER_IDENTITY_KEY attribute on the soap message handle to that identity. For most command-line wsrf tools, this can be done by passing it as an argument to the -z command-line parameter.
globus_soap_message_module: SOAP Fault Fault code: Client Fault string: globus_service_engine_module: Failed to find operation: {XXXX}YYYY for service: {ZZZZ}BBBB The service port type {ZZZZ}BBBB does not contain a {XXXX}YYYY operation. Verify that the client bindings are built from the same WSDL and XML Schema documents as the service.
globus_soap_message_module: Failed receiving response http://widgets.com/WidgetPortType/createWidgetResponse. ws_addressing: Addressing header is a draft version of WS Addressing: "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/03/addressing". This could be a GT version mismatch, client is GT 4.2.x and response is from GT 4.0.x server The service is running on a container which is using a draft version of the WS-Addressing specification. This was used by GT 4.0.xUpdate the service to work with GT 4.2.x or compile your client with GT 4.0.x libraries.
globus_soap_message_module: Failed sending request http://widgets.com/WidgetPortType/createWidgetRequest. globus_xio: The GSI XIO driver failed to establish a secure connection. The failure occured during a handshake read. globus_xio: An end of file occurred The service container either did not support SSL authentication, or the service container did not trust the client certificateConsult the service administrator to verify that the service container supports SSL and that your certificate is issued by a certificate authority trusted by the service.

Glossary

F

flavor

Pre-OGSI Globus description term that uniquely encompasses Machine Architecture, OS, Compiler and other attributes into a single term, for example: gcc32dbgpthr for a threaded Linux debug distribution.

S

SOAP

SOAP provides a standard, extensible, composable framework for packaging and exchanging XML messages between a service provider and a service requester. SOAP is independent of the underlying transport protocol, but is most commonly carried on HTTP. See the SOAP specifications for details.

T

transport-level security

Uses transport-level security (TLS) mechanisms.

W

Web Services Description Language (WSDL)

WSDL is an XML document for describing Web services. Standardized binding conventions define how to use WSDL in conjunction with SOAP and other messaging substrates. WSDL interfaces can be compiled to generate proxy code that constructs messages and manages communications on behalf of the client application. The proxy automatically maps the XML message structures into native language objects that can be directly manipulated by the application. The proxy frees the developer from having to understand and manipulate XML. See the WSDL 1.1 specification for details.

Web Services Resource Framework (WSRF)

Web Services Resource Framework (WSRF) is a specification that extends web services for grid applications by giving them the ability to retain state information while at the same time retaining statelessness (using resources). The combination of a web service and a resource is referred to as a WS-Resource. WSRF is a collection of different specifications that manage WS-Resources.

This framework comprises mechanisms to describe views on the state (WS-ResourceProperties), to support management of the state through properties associated with the Web service (WS-ResourceLifetime), to describe how these mechanisms are extensible to groups of Web services (WS-ServiceGroup), and to deal with faults (WS-BaseFaults).
