Any help would be appreciated.
I am trying to have SalesForce push out account information to a billing system (external) via a SOAP API. The billing system doesn't have a WSDL that I can generate an Apex Class with and I have been scouring the net for information on how to create a class without a WSDL.
Q: Is it possible to interact with an external SOAP without a WSDL? And if it is possible can someone point me to some examples?
Thanks!!

You have a few choices:
Reverse engineer a WSDL from the billing system.
Skip the WSDL and generate your own stub classes. See this part of the docs for an example.
Generate your own SOAP messages and use the HTTP classes to invoke

I am testing a new webservice that is receiving messages from an application and responding with messages with specific information. The webservice then uses this information to create new messages for downstream systems. I need to know the best way I can test this using the Ready API tool, we just got a pro license. Is it SOAP or REST I need to use. Ideally I want to simply copy my application messages in to the tool, call the webservice and get the response, which I can then check is the correct response for the test
To find your web-service is SOAP or REST.
Please check whether your web service has WSDL to verify it has SOAP web-service, you can get your web-service's WSDL by post-fixing WSDL with your web service url.
Eg: http://{yourservice-url/path1}?WSDL
If your service don't provide WSDL from the above URL, then your web-service is REST.
I am new to WSO2 AM and I would like to create interceptor class for APIs that are published on my company's server on API Manager. The thing is that I need to create a solution for DRM (Digital Rights Management), to do so I need to create the class that intercepts all calls to my APIs and do some control check from the JSON that arrives with the user token and some user's parameters.
Until now I was searching for the answers on google for weeks, but didn't find anything useful. Can someone help me with this?
API request/response interceptors in WSO2 API Manager are called handlers. APIM comes with a set of default handlers for authentication, rate limiting, analytics etc. and you can define your own custom handlers as well. Follow these docs for details.
APIM 2.6.0: https://docs.wso2.com/display/AM260/Writing+Custom+Handlers
APIM 3.0.0: https://apim.docs.wso2.com/en/3.0.0/Learn/APIGateway/Handlers/writing-custom-handlers/
I am new to web application development, I am learning many things from many tutorial, currently I am learning SOAP and REST.
My confusion is regarding SOAP , in SOAP based architecture when a user enters a URL, it takes him/her to SOAP client and then that is the page that the client sees ? and then this SOAP-client will actually communicate to another application SOAP server ??
Not understanding it at all? Can someone please explain?
SOAP is meant for communication between machine over HTTP/HTTPS with common interoperable format i.e XML.
Think like you are payment gateway provider, someone's would like to use your payment gateway for transactions.
So as payment gateway provider, you may create webservice, and whoever wants to use it could create SOAP client to use your payment gateway service.
So in your case the HTML page is party would like to utilise the payment gateway service (by calling the SOAP service).
Do some googling, you will find lots of practical SOAP use cases.
Being new to SalesForce Integration, I am trying to understand the capability of SalesForce to integrate with external RESTful service (WADL file) and execute to extract data to use in SalesForce UI functionality.
I understand that SalesForce is able to execute SOAP over HTTP (WSDL file) service to integrate but I see there is no solid documents online to explore whether SalesForce can also execute external WADL file.
Please advice me.
There's no built in feature to consume a WADL. You can however, just write your own Apex code to make restful callouts.

I am going thru the documentation and examples related to calling REST APIs for SugarCRM using Chrome REST client or PostMan but most of the examples are PHP and I am not finding a good way to find a proper request and other parameters to be mentioned so that I can get the successful response from the API. I was trying get_entry_list. Can someone please help by providing a working REST API request for this API which I can run on REST client or postman?
I also would like to know if I want to build a SugarCRM connector for my application, which set of APIs I should use? Should I go with REST or SOAP and any supporting arguments to choose one over another?
Thanks
