SOAP with MTOM in .Net Core 3.1 - ChillKat? - soap

Is ChillKat the way to go for processing xop messages? My service has to receive a MTOM request and send back a MTOM response.
I’ve been looking into MTOM for .Net Core 3.1. Eventhough MTOM is not supported at this time, ChillKat shows how MTOM responses can be created.
However, I get no sense of how the library can be used with a httpcontex object.

Anyone with an insight how to use it?

SOAP Message creation without a WebService just with wsdl

I have a wsdl file in a Spring JMS project, where i need to create an XML to sent to a queue. This xml should look like a SOAP Message including Header Body and whole Envelop. I don't understands how not to implement a SOAP WebService but still create a XML SOAP structure. I don't want to create whole structure using SOAP Element classes where i have to write a lot of code and each time if my Java Object updates i have to update this implementation as well, thanks for help.
See the Spring Web Services Reference Manual (specifically JMS Transport on the client side).
For sending messages over JMS, Spring Web Services provides the JmsMessageSender. This class uses the facilities of the Spring framework to transform the WebServiceMessage into a JMS Message, send it on its way on a Queue or Topic, and receive a response (if any).
To use the JmsMessageSender, ...

Apache CXF attachement close stream

I have came across this blog that explains the need to close the InputStream of all the attachments that has been sent via Apache CXF. It also claims that such functionality is missing from the framework itself and hence it is the responsibility of users to close the InputStream of the attachment sent over the network.
I would like to know if this is still the case with latest releases (3.1.x and later) ? Also why does not the framework close the InputStream if it is just required part.
Please note that I have MTOM enabled and the attachments are always sent as MTOM.

switchyard soap binding in references

I am exploring soap binding switchyard in jbds in which I tried to give and get SOAP requests and responses.
I can forward a request to response using camel routing but can't manipulate the inputs(if any). Is it possible to use a java bean in the middle which could process the request and give some form of result?
Take for example a celsius to fahrenheit conversion, in which the request contains the celsius value while the conversion should happen in java bean and results are forwarded out as responses. I'm currently using soapui to send the soap requests.
Yes you can do it, by creating a switchyard message composition.
Please refer to this example (WarehouseServiceImpl.java and WarehouseService.java).

Tools to test WSE enabled SOAP service

Is there a tool that can test WSE-Enabled SOAP Web service?
I think you want to check the outgoing and incoming soap packets.
Use fiddler.
http://www.fiddler2.com/fiddler2/
As soon as you hit the webservice, fiddler will display the outgoing request's xml.
You can also try out firefox's console (disable by default). The console shows all the request/response details.
Fiddler will get the job done for sure.
I'm not entirely sure about the WSE element, but my first port of call for testing SOAP Web Services is SoapUI
A brilliant tool for calling services and inspecting the results with minimal effort - even before you start to look at its in depth capabilities (which are considerable) and far easier than playing with proxies in the first instance.

Can I use HTTP with Soap?

Allow me to be more specific...
If I want to send files, but am required to wrap them in SOAP, wouldn't I use http? I am seeing a surprisng lack of info on this online.
Sending files via SOAP doesn't have anything specifically to do with FTP. To send a file through a SOAP interface, you might base64 encode the file and stuff the whole thing into a SOAP string parameter. However, this might only be appropriate if your file size has a reasonable upper bound.
If your files can be an unbounded size, you might investigate using a different transport protocol to transfer the actual file data (eg. HTTP or even FTP), then use SOAP to transfer a pointer to the file (such as its URL). Some implementations of SOAP cannot handle arbitrary large messages.
Pretty vague question but if you're using web services you can use MTOM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTOM (SOAP Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism)
I don't know your environment but there are examples of this using .NET / WCF if you Google it.
Two standard ways of sending files along with SOAP messages are:
SOAP with Attachments
MTOM
MTOM supports either using MIME attachments or base64 encoding the file into the body, where as SOAP with Attachments only supports MIME attachments.
