h1. Features

The SOAP component is a Binding Component (BC) which enables to interact with external SOAP Web Services and to expose JBI services as SOAP Web Services.

In provider role, when a JBI MessageExchange is sent to a ServiceEndpoint (mapped to a Web Service), it is transformed into a SOAP message and sent to the linked external Web Service. In consumer role, when a SOAP message is received on an exposed Web Service, it is transformed into a JBI MessageExchange and sent to the corresponding JBI ServiceEndpoint.

The SOAP component is based on Apache Axis2 v1.4.1 ([http://ws.apache.org/axis2/|http://ws.apache.org/axis2/]) and Mortbay Jetty v6.1.9 ([http://jetty.codehaus.org/jetty/|http://jetty.codehaus.org/jetty/]). It provides the following features:
* Expose JBI Services as SOAP Web Services
* Expose SOAP Web Services as JBI Services
* Expose JBI Services as RESTful Web Services
* Expose RESTful Web Services as JBI Services
* Handle SOAP attachments (MTOM). The attachments of the incoming SOAP message are placed into the JBI message as attachments; the JBI attachments are placed in the outgoing SOAP message as attachments.

{info}
If you want more details about SOAP, you can consult this W3C specification: [http://www.w3.org/TR/soap/|http://www.w3.org/TR/soap/].

All attachment are processed by using XOP rules. (XML-binary Optimized Packaging: [http://www.w3.org/TR/xop10/])
{info}


h1. Provide a Web Service access in the ESB (SOAP over HTTP)

In provide mode, the component exposes an external Web Service in the JBI environment to send SOAP requests to the external Web Service.



h2. Usage


The SOAP component can expose an external Web Service as a JBI service endpoint by deploying a Service Unit on it:
\\
\\

When a message is received on a SOAP linked endpoint from the JBI environment, it is transformed into a SOAP message and sent to the Web Service. The address of the Web Service to send the SOAP message to is defined in the address extension of the deployed Service Unit.

The SOAP message is created like this:
* The JBI message payload is wrapped in the SOAP body
* The JBI message attachments are used to create SOAP ones
* The JBI message exchange operation is used to create the SOAP action
* The JBI MEP is used to determine the SOAP MEP

The external Web Service is called and the SOAP response is processed and returned to the JBI environment.

h3. Service Unit content

The Service Unit has to contain the following elements, packaged in an archive:
* The META-INF/jbi.xml descriptor file as described above,
* An optional imported WSDL file describing the partner service


h1. Exposing an internal JBI service endpoint as a Web Service (SOAP over HTTP)

In consumer mode, the component exposes an internal JBI service outside the bus to transfer incoming SOAP requests to the internal service.

h2. Usage

The petals-bc-soap component can listen incoming SOAP messages and send messages to a JBI service endpoint by deploying a Service Unit on it. The component consumes the JBI service:
\\
\\

The service-name Service Unit extension value will be used as Axis2 service name.

When a SOAP message is handled by the component, it is transformed into a JBI Message and sent to the JBI service endpoint configured in the Service Unit. The JBI message is created like this:
* The JBI operation is created from the SOAP action.
* Copy the SOAP body into the JBI one.
* Put the SOAP attachments into JBI ones.
* Put the SOAP headers into the protocol header JBI message property.

By default, the component is configured to handle URI with the [http://localhost:8084/petals/services/]<service-name> pattern (this URI can be configured in the [SOAP component configuration|Petals-BC-SOAP 4.x#componentConfiguration]). It also handles ?wsdl calls; the WSDL description is retrieved from the endpoint and sent back to the consumer.

By default, the list of services is available at [http://localhost:8084/petals/services/listServices] URI (it can also be configured in the [SOAP component configuration|Petals-BC-SOAP 4.x#componentConfiguration]).

* The META-INF/jbi.xml descriptor file as described above


h1. Provide a REST Service access in the ESB

In provide mode, the component exposes an external Web Service in the JBI environment to send REST requests to the external Web Service.

{warning:title=Warning}
This feature is currently only supported with the MEP InOut.
{warning}


h2. Usage


The petals-bc-soap component can expose an external Web Service as a JBI service endpoint by deploying a Service Unit on it:

{center}

!petals-bc-soap-x.x-provider..png|border=1,width=500,height=285!
*Provides an external Web Service as a JBI service*
{center}

When a message is received on a REST linked endpoint from the JBI environment, it is transformed into a REST message and sent to the Web Service. The address of the Web Service to send the REST message to is defined in the address extension of the deployed Service Unit.

The REST message is created like this:
* The JBI message payload and the exchange operation are used to create the HTTP body
* The address extension is used to create the REST URI
* The rest-http-method extension is used to choose the HTTP method (if it is not defined, the method POST is used)

The external Web Service is called and the REST response is processed and returned to the JBI environment.

The address extension can be configured with placeholders. The placeholder will be replaced by the result of the XPath expression defined inside of the placeholder. The XPath expression is performed on the content of the incoming JBI message. The placeholders will be replaced in the address extension to build the final URI according to the result of the XPath expression.

For example the following JBI message:
{code:lang=xml}
<weat:getWeather xmlns:weat="http://petals.ow2.org/services/weather">
<citycode>FRXX0099</citycode>
<unit>c</unit>
</weat:getWeather>
{code}
is associated with the address parameter value:
{code}
http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p={/*[localname()='getWeather'][1]/*[local-name()='citycode']
[1]}&amp;u={/*[local-name()='getWeather'][1]/*[local-name()='unit'][1]}
{code}
and produces the URI [http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=FRXX0099&u=c].

The JBI message response returned by the Yahoo Weather REST service corresponding to the previous URI is:
{code:lang=xml}

h1. Exposing an internal JBI service endpoint as a REST Service

In consumer mode, the component exposes an internal JBI service outside the bus to transfer incoming REST requests to the internal service.

h2. Usage

The petals-bc-soap component can listen incoming REST messages and send messages to a JBI service endpoint by deploying a Service Unit on it. The component consumes the JBI service:

{center}
!petals-bc-soap-x.x-consumer.png|border=1,width=500,height=285!
*Consumes a JBI service on a REST message*
{center}

The service-name Service Unit extension value will be used as Axis2 service name.

When a REST message is handled by the component, it is transformed into a JBI Message and sent to the JBI service endpoint configured in the Service Unit. The JBI message is created like this:
* The JBI operation is created from the incoming REST query. A URL like http://<host>:<port>/petals/services/<service-name>/operation?param1=value1&param2=value2 produces the 'operation' JBI operation.
* The JBI payload depends on the HTTP method used in the incoming request:
** GET: The JBI message is created from the URL parameters
** POST/PUT/DELETE: The JBI message is copied from the HTTP body (only XML contents are supported)

By default, the component is configured to handle URI with the [http://localhost:8084/petals/services/]<service-name> pattern (this URI can be configured in the [SOAP component configuration|Petals-BC-SOAP 4.x#componentConfiguration]). It also handles ?wsdl calls; the WSDL description is retrieved from the endpoint and sent back to the consumer.

h3. Service Unit content

The Service Unit has to contain the following elements, packaged in an archive:
* The META-INF/jbi.xml descriptor file as described above

h1. SOAP over JMS

By configuring the SOAP component and a Service Unit, it is possible to consume an internal JBI service.

{warning:title=Warning}
This feature is currently only supported in consumer mode with the operation with the MEP InOnly.
{warning}

h2. Usage

The petals-bc-soap component can receive JMS messages from a JMS queue and send SOAP messages (contained in the JMS body message) to a JBI service endpoint by deploying a Service Unit on it. The component consumes the JBI service.

It enables to support the following scenario: A JMS publisher sends a message to a JMS server and the SOAP component consumes the JMS message which contains a SOAP envelope in its body:

{center}
!petals-bc-soap-x.x-soap_over_jms.png|border=1,width=500,height=285!
*Consumes a JBI service on JMS message (containing SOAP envelope)*
{center}

The service-name Service Unit extension value will be used as Axis2 service name.

When a JMS message is handled by the component, the SOAP envelope (in its body) is extracted by Axis, is transformed into a JBI Message and sent to the JBI service endpoint configured in the Service Unit. The JBI message is created like this:
* The JBI operation is created from the SOAP action.
* Copy the SOAP body into the JBI one.
* Put the SOAP attachments into JBI ones.
* Put the SOAP headers into the protocol header JBI message property.

h2. Configuration

h3. JMS server

A JMS server must be started before starting the BC SOAP component (if the JMS transport layer is configured). The compatible JMS servers are Joram and Apache ActiveMQ.

h3. Shared library

A shared library corresponding to the JMS server (SL-JMS-Joram or SL-JMS-ActimeMQ) must be installed in Petals ESB before installing the BC SOAP component in Petals ESB.

h3. Component descriptor

The JMS transport layer must be set in the component jbi.xml file (cf [SOAP component configuration|Petals-BC-SOAP 4.x#componentConfiguration]):
{code:lang=xml}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jbi:jbi version="1.0" xmlns:jbi="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jbi"

</jbi:component>
</jbi:jbi>
{code}

h3. Service Unit descriptor

The JMS transport must be enabled in the Service Unit jbi.xml file:
{code:lang=xml}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jbi:jbi version="1.0"
    xmlns:generatedNs="http://petals.ow2.org/"

<soap:enable-jms-transport>true</soap:enable-jms-transport>
        </jbi:consumes>
    </jbi:services>
</jbi:jbi>
{code}

When the SU is started, a queue is created on the JMS server by the SOAP component if it does not exist. The name of the queue is the value of the parameter soap:address or soap:service-name.

When a message is sent to the JMS queue, it is received and treated by the SOAP component.
