Since "Call Web Service Smart Service" is unable to specify endpoints

richardt over 9 years ago

Since "Call Web Service Smart Service" is unable to specify endpoints that are not in the WSDL, I am using the "Send HTTP Request" smart service to send a SOAP request.
I have the SOAP request as a Document in Appian and use "Text Doc from Template" smart service to change the fields in the request (it is a simple request).
I was wondering, once I have the Document output, how can I retrieve the text (xml) from the document to send in the body of the "Send HTTP Request" smart service. So far I see no way of grabbing document's contents... thanks...

Assuming you are sending an XML body, you can also use xpathdocument() on the outermost element, and read XML from the document that way.
You might also consider, instead of writing a templated text document for every call, maintaining the SOAP text template as a constant / expression, and using the Text from Template plugin instead.

However, the best method for you may depend upon how complex your SOAP template is.
