Advanced Call Web Service

Overview

Most SOAP use cases can and should be handled using native Appian features like Integration Objects. This plug-in specifically is suited for handling SOAP services with SOAP and Base64 attachments

Key Features & Functionality

The Advanced Call Web Service provides support for the following:

  • Support for SOAP attachments
  • Support for Base64 attachments
  • Ability to call web services that do not explicitly declare the requirement for WS-Security UsernameToken in the WSDL policy
  • Ability to call web services that use a self-signed SSL certificate

  • Hi James,

    We are encoutering an issue with this advanced plugin for french character in all environment.

    The SOAP envelope works with UFT-8 encoding which means that also French characters like “l'Evêque Lévescault” are supposed to work.
    We were able to verify that other SOAP tools like SOAP UI can call the web service endpoint with French characters correctly.

    The rule that generates xml also queries data from an Oracle database table.
    (Between Appian and Oracle Hibernate is used to retrieve data. It might be possible that French characters are already badly converted here?)
    But since the web service plugin is a custom plugin it is likely that this handles special characters incorrectly.

    Please kindly help us in resolving the issue.

    Thank you for your kind attention in this regard.
