  • 1.  Web Services Calls using SOAP over HTTP

    WTx v8.1 Build 114

    Good day all,

    I was reading some of the other topics on the forum about soap and there was a reference to a Web Service Support Pac and WSDL importer. Could someone elaborate on that further? I searched IBM's WTx Support Pac site and there were no support pacs for web services just a HIPAA pac.

    I have a process where I need to read an xml file, send a record into a web service and process the response. I have not yet done this with WTx and not sure how to do it. I did not see any reference to a sample in the documentation. Does anyone have a simple example? Any help is always appreciated.

    Regards,

    There is a TX Pack for Web Services. Once installed, samples are provided.

    Basically, the WSDL Importer allows a specific SOAP request to be modelled in an XML-like type tree. Once the resulting type tree data is appropriately mapped, it can be passed to the SOAP adapter for execution.

    Yes I have found that out. Is there a cost associated with this pack? If not, where does one download it from... I couldn't find it on IBM's site. If it has a cost, my company is in a budget crisis and will not buy the support pack so, how would I build a process, using the SOAP adapter, to call the Web Service and handle the data returned. Do you know of any examples of this?
    Thanks,

    As for cost, you would need to speak with a sales person. If you cannot purchase this package, I think you could still construct your own SOAP request and submit it via the HTTP adapter, which comes pre-packaged with TX. This would involve a bit more mapping logic on your part, versus using the SOAP adapter and WSDL Importer that comes with the Pack for Web Services. I'm sorry I don't have any examples to illustrate this.
