SOAP Parser for file endpoint

Use the SOAP Parser to read and write SOAP XML documents.

The SOAP Parser converts SOAP XML documents to or from entry objects in the following manner:

  • When the parser writes to the XML document, it uses attributes from the entry to build the document. The SOAP_CALL attribute is expected to contain the value for the SOAP call.
  • When the parser reads from the XML document, the SOAP_CALL attribute is set to reflect the first tag that follows the SOAP-ENV:Body tag. For each attribute in the entry, a tag with that name and value is created. Each tag under the SOAP_CALL tag translates into an attribute in the entry object.
To access the SOAP Parser configuration parameters:
  1. Add a File endpoint.
  2. On the File endpoint configuration page, click Parser and select SOAP Parser from the list.
  3. Expand the Parser section to view the parameters.
