  • Using Envjs to call a SOAP WebService from within a Custom Endpoint
Skip to end of metadata
Go to start of metadata

Very simple example sample which demonstrates how to use Envjs 1.0 to call a SOAP WebService via a custom endpoint and perform a spellcheck against a provided string of text.

Pre-requisites

  1. Download and install OpenIDM 2.1.
  2. Download the env.rhino.1.0.js and copy it to the openidm/script directory.
  3. Shutdown OpenIDM if it is currently running.

Create the Custom Endpoint

Create a new custom endpoint configuration for the 'endpoint/spellcheck' context:

conf/endpoint-spellcheck.js
{
    "context" : "endpoint/spellcheck",
    "type" : "text/javascript",
    "file" : "script/spellcheck.js"
}

Create the script that will load the env.rhino.1.0.js file and invoke the webservice:

script/spellcheck.js
load('script/env.rhino.1.0.js');
 
if (request.params === undefined || request.params.text === undefined) {
    throw {
        "openidmCode" : 500,
        "message" : "Required parameter 'text' was not found"
    };
}


var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.open('POST', 'http://wsf.cdyne.com/SpellChecker/check.asmx?WSDL', false);
 
var req =
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>' +
'<soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">' +
' <soap12:Body>' +
' <CheckTextBody xmlns="http://ws.cdyne.com/">' +
' <BodyText>' + request.params.text + '</BodyText>' +
' <LicenseKey></LicenseKey>' +
' </CheckTextBody>' +
' </soap12:Body>' +
'</soap12:Envelope>';
 
xmlhttp.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'text/xml');
xmlhttp.send(req);
xmlhttp.responseText;

Invoke the Custom Endpoint

  1. Start OpenIDM

  2. Invoke the spellcheck endpoint with the text parameter 'Thi is spealt wrong!' via curl or your favourite REST client:

curl --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" --request GET "http://localhost:8080/openidm/endpoint/spellcheck?text=%22Thi%20is%20spealt%20wrong%21%22"
