SoapEventSource

The SoapEventSource provides a SOAP web service API for the event system. The SOAP service provider is published at a configured endpoint and listens for SOAP messages. XPath queries are used to map the incoming message data to the generated event data.

Authentication is handled by means of two-way SSL.

Configuration

Name	Type, usage constraints, defaults	Description
endpoint	required: paraVal default: none type: URL of the endpoint	The URL which is used to create the service.
threads	optional: paraVal default: 10 type: integer	The number of threads the HTTP server uses to handle client requests.
sslSettings	optional: paraMap default: none type: string/string	The SSL configuration settings used for this HTTP server. It uses the Java system property names to set up the key and trust stores.
data	required: paraMap default: none type: string/xpath	Defines the event's data fields using XPath queries. The current node in the XPath queries is the SOAP message's body.
synchronous	optional: paraVal default: false type: boolean	Defines whether the SoapEventSource runs in synchronous mode, i.e. returns the result of the triggered jobs.
xpathNamespaces	optional: paraMap default: none type: string/string (uri)	Register namespace prefixes to the specified URIs. Those prefixes are used to parse the XPath expressions. The URIs specified have to match the URIs in the XML document.

Example

Register a SOAP web service at URL

• http://localhost:1234/nevisdp/soap

Process message bodies of type:

<person id="someId">
    <name>First Last</name>
    <email>[email protected]</email>
</person>

<eventSource name="soapEvents" type="SoapEventSource">
    <dp:paraVal name="endpoint" value="http://localhost:1234/nevisdp/soap" />
    <dp:paraMap name="data">
        <value name="id" value="./person/@id" /> (mailto:@id)
        <value name="name" value="./person/name/text()" />
        <value name="email" value="./person/email/text()" />
    </dp:paraMap>
</eventSource>
