How to call a web service from PL/SQL?

Question

The link to this article seems to be gone, and I can't find much information out there? Does anyone have a link that works? Or perhaps archived the old article at the bottom of this page:

Dear,
I have read your article, it is useful for me. But I cannot Apply to my case. Please kindly help me. Thank you.
When running, the error occurs:
1:39:31 Execution failed: ORA-20000: soapenv:Server.userException - org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Attribute name "password" associated with an element type "user" must be followed by the ' = ' character.
My webservice Url: http://abc.com.vn:81/axis/ABC_WS_TEST.jws?wsdl
I make PL/SQL (similiar as your example)
FUNCTION INVOKESENDMT
RETURN VARCHAR2
AS
l_request soap_api.t_request;
l_response soap_api.t_response;
l_return VARCHAR2(32767);
l_url VARCHAR2(32767);
l_namespace VARCHAR2(32767);
l_method VARCHAR2(32767);
l_soap_action VARCHAR2(32767);

p_zipcode VARCHAR2(160);
BEGIN
--p_zipcode:='''TEST'' ; ''TEST'';''84912187098'';''84912187098'';''0'';''8118'';''1'';''000001'';''ThuNghiem'';''''';

-- Set proxy details if no direct net connection.
--UTL_HTTP.set_proxy('myproxy:4480', NULL);

l_url := 'http://abc.com.vn:81/axis/ABC_WS_TEST.jws';

l_method := 'sendMT';
l_soap_action := l_url || '#sendMT';
l_result_name := 'sendMTResponse';
l_request := soap_api.new_request(p_method => l_method,
p_namespace => l_namespace);
soap_api.add_parameter(p_request => l_request,
p_name => 'user password sender receiver chargedflag servicenumber messagetype messageid textcontent binarycontent',
p_type => 'xsd:string',
p_value => p_zipcode);
l_response := soap_api.invoke(p_request => l_request,
p_url => l_url,

END;
