How to parse soap response returned by external webservice?Products affected
Issue
Situation is that customer has a webservice step in process map. This webservice step invokes an external webservice that returns a soap response. Process needs to parse the soap response downstream and make use of data inside soap:body.
Solution
There are two things that should be followed in order to achieve this -
1) Namespaces of response elements should be defined in process -> advanced properties; so that xpath engine can find those elements in that namespace.
2) In xpath expressions, namespace qualified element names (e.g. <namespace>:<elementname>) should be used for referencing.
Additional Information
Please find a sample attached to this tech note. File name: ParseSOAP_ST.zip.
1) Import process definition using workbench. Process definition is in "ParseSOAP.1.0.xml".
2) Execute the process and pass sample soap response in "InputData.txt".
