WSDL Connector

Symptoms

How do I set up a Connector to a Web Service (WSDL Connector)?

Environment

VoiceObjects

• VoiceObjects> 9 is the easier part as we don't need to take the parameter type too much into account.
• VoiceObjects < 9 needs to be treated differently as older versions can't work with complex datatypes. The general setup is equal though.
  

Setting up the Connector Object

• Connection Parameters
  • Class/Port: The web service port type to be used.
  • Method: The Method to be called.
  • WSDL Location: Resource Locator to the WSDL
  • WSDL File: Link to the file / application which provides the WSDL to VoiceObjects
    Some webservices additionally present the WSDL in a HTML page. This can't be used as WSDL source!

• Input Parameters
  • Only simple types -> 1 parameter item per parameter
  • Complex types -> 1 single parameter containing full XML structure
    To pass complex parameters to a WSI backend the following steps need to be taken:
    • Create one XML structure containing all variable contents (like in the original SOAP request), this XML needs to contain all data which is inside the <soap:Body> element
    • Pass this data into all parameters (each input parameter needs to be a parameter in the object)
    • To create the XML use a script object by using the E4X JavaScript functionality - EcmaScript for XML
• Output Parameters (only 1 return value!)
  • Simple type -> directly available via Return value
  • Complex type -> XML structure available via Return value
