How to query the model

To query the model you start with initializing the connection. This can be done via Model(False, "model_name"). Then use any getter you need to retrieve the data. Our unit tests (RFEM_Python_Client/UnitTests/) are good examples of setting values and getting them back for checking correctness. But in the tests we use currently available (active) model, that is why you see just Model() there.

If you want to see all currently available web service model functions and types just print(Model.clientModel). This is the easiest way SUDS module shows everything it recognizes. Even easier is to look at methods and types for model and application in our Wiki, but it can be outdated with the new development, meaning new functions will be added.

Whole example:

from suds.client import Client
import sys

client = Client('http://localhost:8081/wsdl')
# printout all application functions and types
print(client)
modelLst = client.service.get_model_list()
new = client.service.get_active_model()+'wsdl'
model = Client(new)
# printout all model functions and types
print(model)
# printout all available variables of object node
print(client.factory.create('ns0:node'))
