node-red-contrib-wsdl-soap-server
This is a Node-RED library based on node-soap which allows us to easily simulate SOAP servers. The server will be auto-generated given a proper WSDL specification.
It consists of two nodes:
- soap-server - which creates the server at a given port and listens for requests
- soap-response - sends the response back to the client
Server Node
The server node starts a server at a specific port, and listens for requests defined in the WSDL specification. Therefore, two properties need to be configured to successfully start up the node:
- Port - the port on which the soap-server will listen on
- WSDL Specification - the WSDL specification
The node configuration only accepts a single WSDL file.
Once the server receives a SOAP request, it will automatically extract the information from the request and output them as follows:
- msg.payload.params - request parameters
- msg.payload.headers - request headers
- msg.payload.fun - function name
Response Node
The response node will send the response back to the client which requested some data. The node can be configured to either take JSON input (msg.payload) and generate a SOAP envelope output; or take raw XML data on the input and send it as it is to the client.
