Proxying a SOAP Service Sample

This sample features a service that acts as a proxy for an existing service exposed via a SOAP API. When a client invokes this service, it simply forwards the message to the backend service without altering its content.

Specifically, the sample includes a simple proxy service called ‘ProxyForEchoService,’ which serves as the intermediary. Additionally, it contains an endpoint representing the actual backend service within the MI context.

Deploying the sample

1. Open the sample by clicking on the Proxying a SOAP Service card.
2. Give a folder location to save the sample.
3. Build and run the sample in your Micro Integrator.

Running the sample

1. Open a terminal and run the following commands to invoke the Service.

   curl --location 'http://localhost:8290/services/ProxyForEchoService' \
   --header 'Content-Type: text/xml' \
   --data '<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
       <soapenv:Header/>
       <soapenv:Body>
           <echo:echoString xmlns:echo="http://echo.services.core.carbon.wso2.org">
             <in>Hello</in>
           </echo:echoString>
       </soapenv:Body>
   </soapenv:Envelope>' 
   

   You will receive a response like following.

   <ns:echoStringResponse xmlns:ns="http://echo.services.core.carbon.wso2.org">
       <return>Hello</return>
   </ns:echoStringResponse>
   

2. You can also run the unit test case defined for this sample.
