Using Linux / gcc / gsoap to call MBT SoapInput Node in Message Flow

Firstly download, configure, compile and install gsoap

Step 1: get up and running
mkdir gsoap
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/gsoap2/files/gSOAP/gSOAP%202.7.16%20stable/gsoap_2.7.16.zip/download
cd /root/gsoap/gsoap-2.7
yum install byacc
yum install bison
yum install flex
./configure
./make
./make install

Step 2: Setup working folder and create stubs from remote wsdl via URL. Note I'm just using plain old C and not C++.

mkdir ./OrderService

wsdl2h -c -o OrderService.h http://83.71.23.20:7800/acmeOrders/WADDR/ProcessOrders?wsdl

soapcpp2 -c OrderService.h

Step 3: Create your test C client using your fav editor (mine vi)

#include "soapH.h"

#include "OrderServiceSOAP.nsmap"

main()

{

   struct soap *soap = soap_new();

   struct _ns1__submitPORequest  request;

   struct _ns1__submitPOResponse response;

   request.partNo="1234";

   request.partQuantity=1;

   request.personName.firstName="Trevor";

   request.personName.lastName="Trevor";

   request.address.street="Abbeydorney";

   request.address.city="Tralee";

   request.address.zipCode="N/A";

   soap_call___ns2__submitPO(soap,NULL,NULL,&request,&response);

   printf("\nPart No: %s",response.partNo);

   printf("\nQuantity: %d",response.partQuantity);

   printf("\nOrder Status: %s",response.orderStatus);

   printf("\nOrder Amount: %d",response.orderAmt);

   soap_end(soap);

   soap_free(soap);

}

Step 4: Compile

 gcc TestSoap.c soapC.c soapClient.c -lgsoap -o TestSoap

Step 5: Run

./TestSoap

The output

Part No: 1234

Quantity: 1

Order Status: AVAILABLE

Order Amount: 50
