Paul,
SOAP messages as represented into XML format, pl correct me if I am wrong here...so you should be able to transform your input XML (SOAP message) into MRM-CWF (C Structure) format.

Paul,
I am using SOAP msgs in my flows and have no problems with them. The only thing is that you need to use "(double quotes) to reference your SOAP xml.
e.g. InputRoot.XML."SOAP-ENV:Envelope"."SOAP-ENV:Body".....

Hi, thanks for the information.
Just wondered what you are doing with SOAP and WMQI. Are you transforming the messages at all? If so do you transform back to SOAP for a reply message? |

Hi Paul,
I use SOAP xml msgs for inbound/outbound XML Bridge(RFC/BAPI) interface. I receive regular XML data, convert it to SOAP xml and send it over to XML Bridge. I receive SOAP response to this call that I check for sucessfull RFC execution. That is for inbound.
In case of outbound I receive SOAP xml data from SAP, convert it to regular XML and send it to customer. But first I generate and send SOAP response to close my outbound RFC call.
Working with SOAP is same as working with regular xml.

Hi,
Miron, can you give more information about the XML Bridge? Now I receive an XML and use a java node to do the SOAP call. I´ll be interested in evaluate your solution if it is possible.
Cheers,

Hi,
XML Bridge was originally developed in Germany and later modified and enhanced in Dublin. It has been built on Access Builder and Connector for SAP which are part of VisualAge for Java, Enterprise Edition. It allows you to make inbound and outbound RFC calls to BAPI/RFC functions. It uses SOAP xml messages as media and MQ queues for data transport. From functional perspective it is similar to R3/Link for SAP that sends inbound and outbound idocs. It runs as a java process on your server machine.
If you want to make an inbound RFC call you build a SOAP msg in your WMQI (or anything else) and place it in XML Bridge inbound queue. In case of outbound RFC you receive a SOAP xml in XMLBridge outbound queue and you have to transform it to format you want in WMQI.
People from Dublin are participants of this board so if you post a question here somebody should respond with more details.
Hope that helps.
