REST to SOAP Conversion Sample

This sample demonstrates how we can expose an existing SOAP service as a RESTful API.

This sample consists of a REST API called CityInformationAPI and an Endpoint CityLookupEP.

The API resource is configured with an URI-Template and parameterized to get the ZIP code. A request payload is constructed with a given zip code. Also, ‘SOAPAction’ which is a mandatory header for SOAP 1.1 is set before invoking the endpoint. Once the response is received, it is sent back to the client converting the XML message to a JSON message.

Deploying the sample

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

Running the sample

  1. Once the sample is running you will get a runtime services view with the API swagger definition. You can test the API using the swagger editor or follow step 2 for manual invocation.

  2. Open a terminal and run the following command to invoke the API.

    curl --location 'http://localhost:8290/city/lookup/60601'

  3. You can also run the unit test cases defined for this sample.
