Configuring the SOAP AdapterLocate this document in the navigation structure

Use

The SOAP adapter enables you to exchange SOAP messages between remote clients or Web service servers and the Integration Server or the PCK.

The receiver SOAP adapter also allows you to send SOAP messages using the SMTP protocol.

You can specify security settings to be used to sign/verify the SOAP body. In addition, you can specify the standard to be used for signing/verifying the SOAP message.

Sender agreements that are assigned a SOAP sender adapter can be published in the Services Registry.

You have the option of using the Axis framework in the SOAP adapter.

Use Axis Framework in the SOAP Adapter

  1. You can optionally use the Axis framework in the SOAP adapter.

    To use the Axis framework in the SOAP adapter, you must compress the following Axis JAR files, version 1.4, in aii_af_axisprovider.sda:

    • axis.jar
    • commons-discovery-0.2.jar
    • commons-logging-1.0.4.jar
    • commons-net-1.0.0-dev.jar
    • wsdl4j-1.5.1.jar
  2. To check whether deployment was successful, use the following URL:

    http://<host>:<port>/XIAxisAdapter/MessageServlet

  3. Configure the adapter:
