Soap response with envelope

Question

Hi
My PI server is able to make a soap call to the SFDC ( webservice ) ...however the response that is received within PI
has a SOAP envelope...and hence the response mapping is going in error....because the source data type in response mapping doesnot match with the soap response ( with envelope )
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns="urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com">
- <soapenv:Body>
- <upsertResponse>
- <result>
  <created>false</created>
  <id>a0UT0000004aeaMMAQ</id>
  <success>true</success>
  </result>
  </upsertResponse>
  </soapenv:Body>
  </soapenv:Envelope>
how do i handle this

Hi,
I think there is an option while configuration of SOAP adapter, where you can define, not to keep SOAP envelop. Please check the option Conversion Parameters\Do Not Use SOAP Envelope and set it as per your requirement. That might solve the problem. Here is the link which can be helpful

Alternatively you need a java mapping or XSLT mapping to remove the envelop.
Here is the java mapping code to remove SOAP envelop
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.util.Map;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
import org.w3c.dom.Node;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;
import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.StreamTransformation;
import com.sap.aii.mapping.api.StreamTransformationException;
public class RemoveSoapEnvelop implements StreamTransformation{
public void execute(InputStream in, OutputStream out)
throws StreamTransformationException {
try
     DocumentBuilderFactory factory=DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
     DocumentBuilder builderel=factory.newDocumentBuilder();
     /*input document in form of XML*/
     Document docIn=builderel.parse(in);
     /*document after parsing*/
     Document docOut=builderel.newDocument();
     TransformerFactory tf=TransformerFactory.newInstance();
     Transformer transform=tf.newTransformer();
     Element root;
     Node p;
     NodeList l;
     int mm,n1;
     //if you need to include namespace use next two lines
     //root=docOut.createElement("ns0:upsertResponse");
     //root.setAttribute("xmlns:ns0","http://connectsystems.be/MAINFR/AccDocument");
     root=docOut.createElement("upsertResponse");
     p=docIn.getElementsByTagName("upsertResponse").item(0);
     l=p.getChildNodes();
     n1=l.getLength();
     for(mm=0;mm<n1;++mm)
          Node temp=docOut.importNode(l.item(mm),true);
          root.appendChild(temp);
     docOut.appendChild(root);
     transform.transform(new DOMSource(docOut), new StreamResult(out));
catch(Exception e)
     e.printStackTrace();
public void setParameter(Map arg0) {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try{
     RemoveSoapEnvelop genFormat=new RemoveSoapEnvelop();
     FileInputStream in=new FileInputStream("C:\\Apps\\my folder\\sdn\\sd2.xml");
     FileOutputStream out=new FileOutputStream("C:\\Apps\\my folder\\sdn\\removedEnvelop.xml");
     genFormat.execute(in,out);
catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
input xml file sd2.xml
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns="urn:enterprise.soap.sforce.com">
<soapenv:Body>
<upsertResponse>
<result>
  <created>false</created>
  <id>a0UT0000004aeaMMAQ</id>
  <success>true</success>
  </result>
  </upsertResponse>
  </soapenv:Body>
  </soapenv:Envelope>
Here is the output xml removedEnvelop.xml
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<upsertResponse>
<result>
  <created>false</created>
  <id>a0UT0000004aeaMMAQ</id>
  <success>true</success>
  </result>
  </upsertResponse>

http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/SampleJAVAMappingcodeusingPI7.1+API
You can also try following XSLT mapping to get the same output as java mapping
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
exclude-result-prefixes="SOAP-ENV">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="SOAP-ENV:Envelope/SOAP-ENV:Body">     
<upsertResponse>
<result>
     <xsl:variable name="var" select="normalize-space(.)"></xsl:variable>
     <xsl:variable name="tokenizedSample" select="tokenize($var,' ')"/>
    <created><xsl:value-of select="$tokenizedSample[1]"/></created>
    <id><xsl:value-of select="$tokenizedSample[2]"/></id>
    <success><xsl:value-of select="$tokenizedSample[3]"/></success>
</result>
</upsertResponse>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Other than these please refer to following links for further examples on the topic

Hope this helps your cause.
