Use Case: Implement a SOAP Web Service

Input

You have:

• a WSDL file myService.wsdl stored in a local filesystem with all dependencies;
• a function named myMethod (rq) that calculates a response for any given HTTP request:
  • normally, the output is a single property object {MyMethodResponse: {...}}, where MyMethodResponse is a local name of the element representing the corresponding message type;
  • otherwise, an Error is thrown.

Problem

Send the HTTP response rp representing the obtained result as a SOAP message.

Solution outline

const {XMLSchemata, SOAP11, SOAPFault} = require ('xml-toolkit')

const xs = new XMLSchemata (`myService.wsdl`)

let body, statusCode

try {  
  body = xs.stringify (myMethod (rq))

  statusCode
}
catch (x) {
  body = new SOAPFault (x)
}
