SOAP Client

Introduction

The SOAP Client is a JSP page that acts as a generic client for SOAP-based Web services. It allows you to specify a URL and the body of a SOAP message, wraps the body into a SOAP envelope, sends the message, and prints the reply.

Deploying

Copy the file Resources/dist/soap_client.war to whatever place your Java app server demands. For example, in Tomcat you would place the file in $CATALINA_HOME/webapps.

Running

To use the JSP, start your app server and use a Web browser to visit the URL http://localhost:8080/soap_client/index.jsp.

If your installation is not running at localhost:8080, modify the URL accordingly.

Using the BPEL Process JSP Client Page

Follow the directions on the JSP page. You will need two pieces of information: the Web service name and some sample data. Each sample's documentation will tell you what service name and which sample data file to use.

Note: do not include the SOAP Envelope or Body tags in the message. The SOAP Client will add those as needed.
