SOAP body and XML

Hi,
how can I get the body content of SOAP messages in XML format?
I have a service that get as input a XML string, I want to create a Web Service, with this service, without change all but I have not understand how take the XML to give it to the old service.
TIA
Aslas

You should check out the following in details. It
explains to you how soap works and how you can
implement a listener to retrieve the XML doc in
the body.

What is payload, xi-soap message and xml payload....

can any 1 explains abt What is payload, xi-soap message and xml payload....

Hi Shiva,
see this abstract from messages file:
"The SOAP header of a message contains all the important information that the Integration Server requires to forward the message, while the payload contains the actual business data (such as <PurchaseOrder> in the example above). <b>You can also append an unlimited number of attachments to the message before it is sent. Attachments typically comprise non-XML data, for example, pictures, text documents, or binary data."</b>

Extract fields from the SOAP body during mapping

Hi all,
I have an Abap Proxy to SOAP scenario with a main payload and an attachment. During mapping I need the reference of the attachment to store the reference in the main payload. I don't need the attachment itself.
SOAP-Body:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>

</SAP:Manifest>
I need the attachment reference as string inside my main payload: cid:payload-EE42FF47D930DE5CE1000000C107826A @sap.com
I wrote an user defined function to select the MessageId, but the MessageId is only part of the reference to the main payload.
String constant;
java.util.Map map;
map = container.getTransformationParameters();
constant = (String) map.get(StreamTransformationConstants.MESSAGE_ID);
return constant;
Has anybody an idea to get the reference of the attachment from the SOAP body with an user defined function or an adapter module?
Thanks and kind regards

Hello,
thank you all for the information. I found a solution for my problem on the sender side. I wrote an own helper class with the method create_attach_from_txt_withref. This method build an attachment with an own reference and write the reference back to the payload.
This reference will not be changed within the execute_asynchronous method of the proxy.
Method parameters:
P_DATA        Importing   Type     STRING
P_TYPE        Importing   Type     STRING
P_NAME        Importing   Type     STRING
P_ATTACHMENT Exporting   Type Ref IF_AI_ATTACHMENT
P_AREF        Exporting   Type     STRING
Method coding:

        l_payload     TYPE REF TO if_xms_payload,

" write back the modified payload

If anybody has an idea how to read the soap body within an adapter module please let me know.

How to add exactly 2 NON XML caracters at the end of a SOAP body

Hello all I am trying to add two (and only two) extra non xml caracters "AA" at the END of a SOAP body using the JAXWS handlers as so:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8
Content-Length: 131
Content-Length: 131
Server: Jetty(7.x.y-SNAPSHOT)
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
AA
The problem is that if you try to add them to the SOAP body (see code below) you get a XML Unmarshalling exception. If I add "AA" as a soap attachment I get MORE than 2 caracters after the SOAP body (which I don't want)
Here is the my SOAPHandler code :
@Override
public boolean handleMessage(SOAPMessageContext mc) {
if (Boolean.TRUE.equals(mc.get(MessageContext.MESSAGE_OUTBOUND_PROPERTY))) {
try {
SOAPMessage message = context.getMessage()
String stringSoapMessage= getMsgAsString(message);
stringSoapMessage += "ss";
message.getSOAPPart().setContent((Source) new StreamSource(new ByteArrayInputStream(msg.getBytes())));
message.saveChanges();
context.setMessage(message);
} catch (Exception e1) {
return true;
public String getMsgAsString(SOAPMessage message) throws SOAPException {
String msg = null;
try {
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
message.writeTo(baos);
msg = baos.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return msg;
so my question is this: is there any way to add exactly 2 non xml caracters at the end of the soap body using jaxws handlers ? I have spent several weeks on this so it is not an easy question...
Thanks,
Fred.

Yes I have done it using CFX interceptors. But the runtime dependencies needed were too big for this particular use. I mean having to use these:
apache/cxf/cxf-bundle/2.6.0/cxf-bundle-2.6.0.jar

org/eclipse/jetty/jetty-continuation/7.5.4.v20111024/jetty-continuation-7.5.4.v20111024.jar
to add two caracters at the end of a soap message seems like over kill. If this is the only way to do this then i'll do it this way but it just seems like the implementation of the JAXWS API in JDK 6 seems inches away from being able to do this no ?
Thanks for the replies,

Is it possible to create own soap envolpe and body ?

Hi,
I developed a web service and deployed it on Web Logic server and Glassfish server.
But its soap envelope and soap body is different.

Ajay Sharma wrote:

But you don't want to do that because what you have is just fine.

Mapping Design - SOAP body content needs to be different between test and production

Hello,
We are integrating with a 3rd party SOAP receiver who uses the same web service URLS for test and production.
So to differentiate they exposed 2 web services which do the same thing but have different root and payload node names...along with account details.
For example, for production our SOAP XML must follow pattern like:
<Envelope>
<Body>
<appRequest>
<userID>produser</userID><password>prodpwd</password>
<appPayload>
<?xml>
blah blah this XML is the same between test and production
</xml>
</appPayload>
etc
But for their testing we must use:
<Envelope>
<Body>
<appRequestTest>
<userID>testuser</userID><password>testpwd</password>
<appPayloadTest>
<?xml>
blah blah this XML is the same between test and production
</xml>
</appPayload>
etc
So I'm trying to think of a good way to handle this difference in one set of mappings that we can use in our 3 PI platforms Dev / Test / Prod
Since these differences are in the SOAP Body does it need handled in mapping or is there a way to handle it in the Adapter Config which is naturally different between our environments (mapping we like to keep the same).
What is a smart way to handle this scenario?
Many thanks,
Aaron

I second Artem when he states that this is a bad design decission from the caller's side.
However this is not gonna help you in the current situation, right?
The problem you are facing is that by poor design the message does not have a root node which you may use to handle occurences. Let me explain further
You would be good if prod message looked like so
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<appData>
   <appRequest>
   </appRequest>
</appData>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
and test message looked like so
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<appData>
   <appRequestTest>
   </appRequestTest>
</appData>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
--> Then you would have been able to specify occurence of <appRequest> and <appRequestTest> as 0..1
So I think you have (besides what Artem already pointed out) 2 other options:
1. activate "do not use SOAP envelope" on sender SOAP channel and then designing the data types like above
2. Use HTTP instead of SOAP adapter and designing data types like above
Hope I didn't miss something crucial :-)

Adding xml fragment to SOAP body (SAAJ)

Hi all,
we are using SOAP (or better SAAJ) in a modular design as packaging/enveloping format for arbitrary payloads which are generated by different modules.
How is it possible to add a xml fragment (as InputStream or DOM Node) to a SOAP Body ?
Nick
[email protected]

Hi Vicky,
I guess, we have a little misunderstanding here. The core SOAP specification defines the structure of the envelope, the "SOAP with attachments" specification extends that by defining how to add binary attachments. This is accomplished by using MIME. Every attachment is another MIMEPart, but the SOAP Envelope always has to be present as first MIMEPart. Now I don't want to add any attachments, I only want to construct a SOAP Envelope that contains arbitrary xml docs (fragments) in the body.
Look at the example below, the tags with namespace "S" belong to the SOAP specification and are built by our SOAP layer, the tags with namespace "m" belong to some other namespace and are generated by a totally different component.
My question was how I could add (within SAAJ) the xml fragment starting with "m:PurchaseOrder" to the envelope without having to add element by element.
<S:Envelope>
     <S:Header>
          ...optional header tags
     </S:Header>
     <S:Body>
                <!---from here it is a different namespace, SOAP doesn't know about PurchaseOrders>
          <m:PurchaseOrder>
               <m:position>
                    <m:article>0815</m:article>
                    <m:description>mainboard</m:description>
                    <m:price>50</m:price>
               </m:position>
               <m:position>
                    <m:article>0816</m:article>
                    <m:description>cpu</m:description>
                    <m:price>100</m:price>
               </m:position>
          </PurchaseOrder>
                <!---from here, it is SOAP again>
     </S:Body>
</S:Envelope>

SOAP Header and Body

Hi All
I am having a small requirement where my normal java program has to invoke a SOAP client and that will communicate the SOAP server by sending two xml files.
first xml contains the attributes/properties of the content and
second xml contains the the actaul content.
here i have to send the attributes in the SOAP header and content as the SOAP body.
How can i achive this. I am very new to SOAP protocal.
please suggest me some links/documents and some guide lines to make this a success.

JAXB XML output as SOAP Body

Hey,
I currently have a psuedo webservice that pulls a string out of an http request and returns a corresponding xml document (based on a schema) to the caller. Pretty basic and it works fine. I use JAXB for the Marshalling of my objects to xml, based on the schema, so I know that my xml document is correct (well-formed and valid).
Now, I would like to do the same thing, except as a SOAP-RPC call. I figure, for the service side, I can just wrap what I already generate in a SOAP Envelope, in response to a SOAP request. Creating the client is easy but I am having trouble with the client side. How can I simply pass an xml document as the SOAP body using Axis/JAX-RPC or whatever, instead of re-mapping to Java object, which might not guarantee the response document conforms to my schema?
I've looked at SAAJ for this a bit, but this seems more about sending a message to a service rather than creating a response from a service....
Any ideas?
Mike

Yes, it's been ten months, but have you figured out how to integrate SOAP and JAXB? I am attempting to make my SOAP client application code easy for a Java beginner to understand, so JAXB would be ideal.

Soap body xml different on server

Hello,
I am trying to verify a soap body string using a signature in the soap header. But am getting a slightly modified version of the soap message on the server side handler.
Here is how my client side handler soap body looks:
<n1:xyz xmlns:n1="http://localhost/edm/DocMgmtParametersRetriever">
</n1:xyz>
On the server side,
<n1:xyz xmlns:n1="http://localhost/edm/DocMgmtParametersRetriever"></n1:xyz>
The differences are:
1.There is an extra space between n1:xyz and xmlns on the client side.
2.There is a line break before </n1:xyz> on the client side which is not present on the server side.
When I add following lines of code on client side, the soap body looks the same and server is able to verify the signature.
soapBody = soapBody.replaceAll(" xmlns:"," xmlns:");
soapBody = soapBody.replaceAll("\n","");
soapBody = soapBody.replaceAll("\r\n","");
soapBody = soapBody.replaceAll("\r","");
The server is on weblogic 8.1 sp3. The webservice java client is using saaj-api.jar
Any clue as to why there is a difference?
Thank you

Welcome to the forums.
As a tip for future posts [url https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2174552#9360002]2. How do I ask a question on the forums?
That said, a basic example that pulls the contents of the body out is

XMLTable soap site:forums.oracle.com
you can find plenty of examples on these forums regarding how to parse a web service response.
The bigger question is, what are you going to do with the data in the response. As the example above alludes too, you can actually parse the entire WS response with one SQL statement and return the results as one or more rows. Will you be performing PL/SQL logic on the returned results or will you simply be INSERTing them into the database for something else to use?

OSB 11g - Authentication - Username and password in SOAP body

Hi,
I have a PS based on the WSDL provided by the client. According to the WSDL the client will send the username and password (to be used for authentication) in SOAP Body. I have extract the username and password from the body and authenticate it and then only process the data.
The approach I am thinking of is to create two PS. The first PS will be called by client to send the data. There will be no authentication required for this PS. Once this PS (PS-1) receives the message it will extract the username, password and data from the SOAP body. It will then set the username and password in the HTTP header of the second PS (PS-2) and the data in the SOAP body of PS-2.
PS-2 will be under basic authentication. PS-2 will accept the data as the only payload. Upon receiving the data it will do the normal processing.
But I do not see any way to set the HTTP header (Authorization) for the second PS. Is my approach correct? Is there another/better approach?
I went through this link [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13159_01/osb/docs10gr3/security/model.html] and found that we may have to configure another Authentication provider. How to do that?
Thanks,
Sanjay

Hi Sanjay,
Your approach seems correct to me (using two proxies) but instead of setting the username and password in HTTP header, you may set it as SOAP header and use Custom Authentication method in OSB. To know more about it, please refer -

WSS4J with Soap and XML digital signatures

Hi,
I need to write a web client to access data from my friend's server
However, I do not have access to the WSDL or the Axis part and instead need to manually generate the SOAP
message that needs to be sent . I have been able to generate the SOAP body without the WSS4J part but I haven't been able to get it working
with the security part. I have read through the documents on the OASIS website but haven't been able to find any sample java code to
help me on this. Can you please give me some pointers on this ? Some sort of sample java code would be extremely helpful.

Attaching xml document to SOAP body

Hi,
i have two question.
Q1: Is it allowed to attach xml document (org.w3c.dom.Document) to SOAP body when sending request to web service.( I have implemented web service to accept attached xml document.)
Q2: If it is allowed, how thoes the WSDL look like.
Thanx,

Java Web Service Access SOP Header and SOAP Body

Hi
I am newbie to Web Service. I had a Java class and I converted it to Web Service(LoginWebService has methods login, register).
Now my client is accessing my web services and calling methods login and register.
Now I want to add few values in SOAP header in client side.
My Questions:
1. How can I access the SOAP headers and SOAP Body in my Server Web Service method implementations?
2. Is there any API that I have to use?
3. Does anyone have any sample code for these things?
Thanks

Seems like the exception handling logic is not sound - but your posting is difficult to read. Please use the *\* tag to mark and end source code snippets.
Have a look at the sample code in {message:id=4205205} - does a SOAP call using PL/SQL only.
