SOAP Client plugin
Note: The SOAP client output task plug-in has been moved to the Legacy group.
SOAP Client plugin tasks can be used as Input, Output and Action tasks, although their basic function
is to generate output. SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) is a light protocol that defines a standard
XML format used to communicate among systems across different architectures, languages, and oper-
ating systems.
A SOAP request is an XML-based Remote Procedure Call (RPC) sent using the HTTP transport pro-
tocol. The payload of the SOAP packet is an XML document that specifies the call being made and the
parameters being passed.
Web services, a SOAP class of applications, expose their services via the Internet in a manner that lets
other applications access them, as well as use and combine them as required.
In order to access and successfully use Web services, client applications must know how to get them,
what operations they support, what parameters they expect, as well as what they return. SOAP servers
make this information available via WSDL (Web Service Description Language) files.
To configure a given SOAP Client plugin task in the PReS Workflow Configuration program, you must
first get its WSDL file (note that you cannot download the WSDL file over an HTTPS connection, so you
should use an HTTP connection to get the file and then switch back to a secure connection). This lets
you know which services the SOAP server provides, as well as each service’s methods and name
spaces.
If firewalls control communication between the SOAP client and the Web servers, they must be con-
figured so as not to block client-server communication.
