Simple, lightweight SOAP client in Java

Simple SOAP client

Simple, lightweight SOAP client implemented in Java.

---

Features

• Send SOAP requests - Sends a SOAP request XML and returns the response as string
• Basic XML utilities - Basic XML parsing included to parse the response and extract values
• Simple and lightweight - No dependencies needed, uses Java's HttpURLConnection to handle HTTP, and org.w3c.dom, org.xml.sax and javax.xml packages to handle XML parsing

Usage

// Create a client for a specific SOAP operation
SimpleSoapClient client = new SimpleSoapClientImpl("http://www.dneonline.com/calculator", "http://tempuri.org",
        "Add");

// Send a request XML file (the service you wish to use should provide a service description where you can get
// a template XML, and fill the parameters you need), and get the response XML as string:
String response = client.sendSoapRequest(new File("src/test/resources/requestExample.xml"));

// Use the provided XmlUtilities to parse the response string and get the text value of a field
String textContent = XmlUtilities.getTextContentOfXmlElement(XmlUtilities.xmlStringToDocument(response),
        "AddResult")

Release instructions

To publish artifacts to central maven repository via Sonatype OSSRH, do the following:

• Create a maven master password:

mvn --encrypt-master-password
# Enter password to encrypt when prompted
# Save encrypted password in /.m2/settings-security.xml:
<settingsSecurity>
  <master>ENCRYPTED_MASTER_PASSWORD</master>
</settingsSecurity>

• Configure maven to publish when the ossrh-release profile is used:

# Encrypt passwords for OSSRH website and for your GPG key:
mvn --encrypt-password
# Enter password to encrypt when prompted, encrypted password will be printed to stdout
# Get public GPG key:
gpg --list-keys --keyid-format LONG
# Copy the key ID from: "pub   rsa4096/<GPG_KEY_ID>"
# Add configuration in /.m2/settings.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
