This is an obsolete version of node-soap that I forked so I could use it in a specific project. Do not use this unless you know exactly why you're using it.
This module lets you connect to web services using SOAP. It also provides a server that allows you to run your own SOAP services.
Current limitations:
- Only a few XSD Schema types are supported
- Only WS-Security is supported using UsernameToken and PasswordText encoding
Install with npm:
npm install soap
var soap = require('soap');
var url = 'http://example.com/wsdl?wsdl';
var args = {name: 'value'};
soap.createClient(url, function(err, client) {
client.MyFunction(args, function(err, result) {
console.log(result);
});
});
soap.listen(server, path, services, wsdl) - create a new SOAP server that listens on path and provides services. wsdl is an xml string that defines the service.
var myService = {
MyService: {
MyPort: {
MyFunction: function(args) {
return {
name: args.name
};
}
}
}
}
var xml = require('fs').readFileSync('myservice.wsdl', 'utf8'),
server = http.createServer(function(request,response) {
response.end("404: Not Found: "+request.url)
});
server.listen(8000);
soap.listen(server, '/wsdl', myService, xml);
An instance of Client is passed to the soap.createClient callback. It is used to execute methods on the soap service.
client.describe() =>
{ MyService: {
MyPort: {
MyFunction: {
input: {
name: 'string'
}
}}}}
client.setSecurity(new WSSecurity('username', 'password'))
client.MyFunction({name: 'value'}, function(err, result) {
// result is a javascript object
})
client.MyService.MyPort.MyFunction({name: 'value'}, function(err, result) {
// result is a javascript object
})
WSSecurity implements WS-Security. Currently, only UsernameToken and PasswordText is supported. An instance of WSSecurity is passed to Client.setSecurity.
new WSSecurity(username, password)
