General description
The SOAP Transformer is a way to interact with a web service via the SOAP protocol. The messages are in an XML type format and are typically created by the service based on a WSDL (Web Services Description Language) template file. However, for the integration of the Transformer, you don’t have to worry about that and can simply call methods on the service’s endpoint. SOAP web services can be used to retrieve and manipulate data on a remote server, with the available functionality depending on the connected service.
The different parts of the SOAP Transformer
-
Request method (required)
This specifies the name of the function that will be called on the SOAP server. The name of this method can be found in the documentation of the connected web service. -
SOAP Client (required)
This refers to the pre-configured client that will be used to establish the connection and communication with the SOAP service. -
Input Transformer
This allows you to choose a way to modify the received response from the SOAP server. -
Response validator
This will verify if the received response meets expected criteria. If not, an error message can be triggered and added to the logs, causing the Transformer to fail and stop the execution.
