XML::Compile::WSS - OASIS Web Services Security

 XML::Compile::WSS is extended by
   XML::Compile::SOAP::WSS

 my $schema = XML::Compile::Cache->new(...);
 my $wss    = XML::Compile::WSS->new(version => '1.1'
   , schema => $schema);

 use XML::Compile::WSS::Util ':wss11'

The Web Services Security working group of W3C develops a set of standards which add signatures and encryption to XML.

In its current status, this module supports processing (reading and writing) of the XML meta-data involved, however there is no support for in-file encryption or signature checking (yet).

The examples directory included in the distribution of the module contains examples how to use it. There even is an extended example how to produce these structures (writing), but that is quite difficult where the standard uses "any" elements everywhere.

XML::Compile::WSS->new(OPTIONS)

 -Option --Default
  schema   undef
  version  <required>

schema => XML::Compile::Cache

Add the WSS extension information to the provided schema. If not used, you have to call loadSchemas() before compiling readers and writers.

version => '1.1'|MODULE

Explicitly state which version WSS needs to be produced. You may use a version number. You may also use the MODULE name, which is a namespace constant, provided via ::Util. The only option is currently WSS11MODULE.

$obj->schema

$obj->version

Returns the version number.

$obj->loadSchemas(SCHEMA)

SCHEMA must extend XML::Compile::Cache.

The SCHEMA settings will may changed a little. For one, the allow_undeclared flag will be set. Also, any_element will be set to 'ATTEMPT' and mixed_elements to 'STRUCTURAL'.
