handle soap response message in single structure where either response or fault is received

[Former Member]

I have a no-soap scenario, where i need to handle the soap response and the soap fault using the same xslt/structure.

Either the SOAP response comes or the fault message comes.

I need to remove the soap envelope.

And accomodate both the messages using a single structure.

I do have the flexibility of changing the target hierarchy.

The response is like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<soapenv:Envelope>

     <soapenv:Header>

     </soapenv:Header>

     <soapenv:Body>

               <out6:struct1>

                         <struct2>

                                   ...

                                   ...

                       </struct2>                 

               </out6:struct1>

     <s/oapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

My fault message is as follows

<soapenv:Envelope>

     <soapenv:Header>

     </soapenv:Header>

     <soapenv:Body>

<soapenv:Fault>

          ...

</soapenv:Fault>

     <s/oapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

Hi  Priyadarshini ,

You have severals ways to do it depending of what structure you want to the output.

For example with this XSL:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope">

<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="utf-8" indent="no"/>

<xsl:template match="/">

  <RootElement>
    <xsl:if test="soapenv:Envelope/soapenv:Body">                                  
               <xsl:copy-of select="/soapenv:Envelope/soapenv:Body/child::*" />

    </xsl:if>

   <message_err>
    <xsl:if test="/soapenv:Envelope/soapenv:Fault">                              
               <xsl:value-of select="/soapenv:Envelope/soapenv:Fault" />

    </xsl:if>

   </message_err>
  </RootElement>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

If you have this XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope">

     <soapenv:Header>

     </soapenv:Header>

     <soapenv:Body>

               <out6:struct1 xmlns:out6="http://www.test.com/">

                         <struct2>

<yourtags>a</yourtags>

                       </struct2>               

               </out6:struct1>

     </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

You will get this output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RootElement xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope">
               <out6:struct1 xmlns:out6="http://www.test.com/">
                         <struct2>
<yourtags>a</yourtags>
                       </struct2>               
               </out6:struct1>

<message_err/>
</RootElement>

If you have this XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope">

     <soapenv:Header>

     </soapenv:Header>
<soapenv:Fault>exception bla bla
</soapenv:Fault>

</soapenv:Envelope>

You will get this output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RootElement xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope">     <message_err>exception bla bla


</message_err>
</RootElement>

*Note, if you want to remove all the namespaces you can add a second XSL in your operation mapping:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

    <xsl:template match="*">
        <xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
        </xsl:element>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="@*">
        <xsl:attribute name="{local-name()}">
            <xsl:value-of select="."/>
        </xsl:attribute>
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="comment() | text() | processing-instruction()">
        <xsl:copy/>
    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Hope this helps.

Regards.
