Web services example messages

Examples of complete HTTP messages show typical content in specific scenarios.

The following examples show complete HTTP messages. The first message is a request sent by an HTTPRequest node to a web service that provides a lookup service:

POST /greenpages/servlet/rpcrouter HTTP/1.0
Host: localhost
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 520
SOAP Action: ""
Cookie: JSESSIONID=0000B5OSLFIUDMQZFAUXKHD5ZDQ:-1

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schema.xmlsoap.org.soap/envelope/"
                   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:getUserByName xmlns:ns1="http://tempuri.org/imb.GreenPages"
                   SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http:/schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<nameField xsl:type="xsd:string">bloggs, joe</nameField>
</ns1:getUserByName>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

The Cookie is an example of a value that can be retrieved from the HTTPRequest tree.

The second message is the corresponding web service response returned to the HTTPRequest node:

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Server: WebSphere Application Server/4.0
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 1585
Content-Language: en
Connection: close

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schema.xmlsoap.org.soap/envelope/"
                   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:getUserByNameResponse xmlns:ns1="http://tempuri.org/imb.GreenPages"
                   SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http:/schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<return xmlns:ns2="http://www.greenpages.com/schemas/GreenPagesRemoteInterface"
        xsi:type="ns2:imb.UserRecord">

<deskPhone xsi:type="xsd:string">(718)545-3623</deskPhone>
</return>
</ns1:getUserByNameResponse>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
