Is there a way to parse a SOAP webservice response in an expression rule and pop

If the XML definition matches your CDT structure you can use the torecord() function to map it directly. forum.appian.com/.../Scripting_Functions.html

Thanks Travis.
I created a very simple CDT: Envelope with just one field: Body, and used the torecord function to populate the CDT with the above SOAP response, but it is throwing the following error- "[Lorg.json.JSONObject; cannot be cast to [Lcom.appiancorp.suiteapi.process.TypedVariable;"
Also, the documentation for torecord method says: type: (Any Type) Enter a variable (process variable or activity class) that has the same data type that you want the XML to be converted into.
In my case, I do not have a process model for this. I simply want to populate my CDT with the response from the above SOAP response. The CDT is expected to have the fields- bezeichnung, bic,ort,plz and the response can return multiple elements with <ns1:details>, so I'll have an array of CDTs.
Thanks in advance.

how are you invoking the web service ? how are you providing input to the web service ? once we know the answers to the above, a solution may be suggested.

Hi, I am invoking this web service using an expression rule and using webservicequery method. For example, I created an expression rule with the following contents-
webservicequery(
a!wsConfig(
wsdlUrl: "www.thomas-bayer.com/.../BLZService
service: "{thomas-bayer.com/.../}BLZService",
port: "BLZServiceHttpport",
operation: "{thomas-bayer.com/.../}getBank"
),
{
getBank: {
blz: "39060180" }
}
)
and I want to parse the response of this rule to populate my CDT.
Thanks again.

very good. in rule interface test as is and copy the results into notepad to understand the structure of the results returned. Now the results from the web service are already of data type which is auto generated by Appian. Write a simple translation from auto generated CDT to your own custom CDT. In other words, write an expression rule that will take the auto generated CDT as input and returns type!yourCDT(myfiled1: ri!inputCDT.firstName, myfield2: ri!inputCDT.lastName) - thats it - looks simple, unless I have missed something

What about accessing directly to your data in this way?
=webservicequery(
a!wsConfig(
wsdlUrl: "www.thomas-bayer.com/.../BLZService
service: "{thomas-bayer.com/.../}BLZService",
port: "BLZServiceHttpport",
operation: "{thomas-bayer.com/.../}getBank"
),
{
getBank: {
blz: "39060180" }
}
).returnValue.getBankResponse.details

Judy, error conditions need to be considered as well. in case there is a fault, getBankResponse may be empty, hence .details will cause a scripting error

You are right. Need to double check if getBankResponse returns an empty value or a null value. If it returns a null value, the .details will cause error, if it returns an empty value, the details will contain empty data.

Thanks venkats533 and judyg . It worked. Really appreciate your help.
