I'm developing a Java application where I need to make a web service request using SOAP protocol. In that SOAP envelop request, one of the XML attribute/property called content will hold the XML file itself like below:-
<n1:envelope>
<message>
<id>67872894892424</id>
</message>
<sender agency="GS1" scheme="tGLK">ur.0</sender>
<recipients>
<id agency="GS1" scheme="tGLK">test</id>
</recipients>
<content encoding="XML" extension="A" format="ATTP">
------
----
</content></n1:envelope>
I'm new to it and requires some assistance in clarifying my doubts. I'm using JDK1.8 and Apache CXF. How can I do marshaling/unmarshalling for this particular content attribute? Normal SOAP envelops request is easy to do it but not sure how to pass an encoded XML itself in SOAP request. Is there any reference links? Thanks
Your case is an example of including XML inside XML. Yes, XML could be included inside an SOAP(XML), there are two ways, though both means almost same thing.
Using CDATA encoding
<hello><![CDATA[<El><E2><E3 attr="D1">Text</E3></E2></El>]]></hello>
Converting the XML into text by replacing, < with <, " with "e; and > with >
<hello><El><E2><E3 attr="D1">Text</E3></E2></El></hello>
To
<hello>>El<>E2<>E3 attr="D1"<Text>/E3<>/E2<>/El<</hello>
Hence, to include the XML inside SOAP, while adding the XML element, you need to follow either approach while marshaling/unmarshaling.

I've tried web search to find answer to my question but found only articles like how to create SOAP message without header.
In wikipedia on SOAP:
SOAP header : A collection of one or more header blocks targeted at
each SOAP receiver. SOAP body : Contains the body of the message
intended for the SOAP receiver. The interpretation and processing of
SOAP body is defined by header blocks.
And:
A SOAP message is an ordinary XML document containing the following
elements:
Element - Required
Header - No
Body - Yes
...
How can be a message without header if processing of body is defined in header?
The SOAP header is optional. If a header is required, it is mainly mentioned in the WSDL file, that is bound to the webservice. The WSDL defines the functions of a webservice and the types, that are bound to the functions. It depends on how a function is defined. Some definitions need an action attribute in the soap header. Others are used by directly mentioning them in the SOAP Body. To keep it short: how a SOAP message should look like is more or less strictly defined in the webservice definition (wsdl).
I need to transform the following json payload into a soap message and send the message to a consumer, the consumer edits the data and sends back the soap message.
I haven't done much in soap. I only have REST experience. what steps do I need to take in a process like this?
what is the best approach?
[{"salesOrderId":"00004-5-6","saleName":"House Sale","status":"processing"}, {"salesOrderId":"00001-2-3","saleName":"Car Sale","status":"processing"}]
There are various way to perform this transformation, for example:
PATH - 1
Json To XML (with transformer or string set payload)
Xml To SOAP Request using XSLT, transformer or string set payload.
Send SOAP Request sobre HTTP (POST / Content-type: applicacion/xml / soapAction)
PATH - 2
Json To SOAP Request using Groovy, XSLT or string set payload.
Send SOAP Request sobre HTTP-OUTBOUND (POST / Content-type: applicacion/xml / soapAction)
PATH - 3
Json To SOAP Request Proxy (WSDL To Java).
Send SOAP Request sobre HTTP-OUTBOUND (POST / Content-type: applicacion/xml / soapAction)
The easiest way of doing it is extract the JSON elements from the JSON payload by using <json:json-to-object-transformer/>and store each node value in variables like flow variable in Mule.
Then You can create the SOAP request using XSLT and passing the flow variables value into XSLT as <mulexml:context-property/>
ref:- https://developer.mulesoft.com/docs/display/current/XSLT+Transformer
Once your SOAP XML is created, you can simply post them to your HTTP outbound endpoint pointing to your external web service you need to consume
Try using Mule DataMapper. That helps you to convert a JSON to XML in the more easier way. You can try it in Anypoint Studio of Mule.
I am using WS-Security (XML-Signature and XML-Encryption) in my Web Service. For larger, binary objects, I intend to use MTOM.
From what I understood is that the binary data is referenced via something like this:
<xop:include href="SomeUniqueID"/>
I see two problems here:
1) How can I include this binary data in the XML-Signature part of the SOAP header?
2) How can I use XML-Encryption (or to be more specific: CXFs standard ways of "automatically" doing XML-Encryption)?
You can include the data in the XML-Signature as if you were not using MTOM.
When MTOM is enabled, at first, the data will always be encoded in Base64 and then it will be converted to binary data to send it as a MIME attachment.
CXF will use this temporary Base64 representation of your file to include it in the message signature.
I need to add a new Namespace to the SOAP Envelope.
At the moment it's looking like that:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
But what I need is this:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:urn="urn:sap-com:document:sap:soap:functions:mc-style">
Maybe you can give me the code for the header mediator.
WSO2 ESB Documantation isn't working at the moment. I get a Synthax error there....
Use the XSLT mediator with the source attribute having the period value for its xpath. This will make the full SOAP message be processed by the XSLT template instead of the payload only.
<xslt key="yourXsltTemplate" source=".">
Using header mediator you can add soap headers not the namespace at envelope element AFAIK.
Anyway documentation should work.Please check. To add a namespace in the middle of sequence, you could use xslt mediator
I've generated the web service client in eclipse for the OpenCalais WSDL using the "develop" client type. Actually I was following this post so not really going in detail. Now when I get the results this way: new CalaisLocator().getcalaisSoap().enlighten(key, content, requestParams);, I get the String object, containing the response XML. Sure it's possible to parse that XML, but I think there must be some way to do it automatically, e.g. getting the response object in the form of some list whatsoever?
The response from the SOAP interface is already parsed. The englighten() method returns an XML string. When you call it with SOAP, this response is wrapped within even more XML. The SOAP library already parses the outer SOAP XML and returns the result of the enlighten() method, which is also XML.
