file: jquery.soap.js
version: 1.2.1
This script uses $.ajax to do a soapRequest. It can take XML DOM, XML string or JSON as input and the response can be returned as either XML DOM, XML string or JSON too.
Thanx to proton17, Diccon Towns and Zach Shelton!
Let's $.soap()!
NOTE: Please see my note on contacting me about issues, bugs, problems or any other questions below before sending me mail....
$.soap({
url: 'http://my.server.com/soapservices/',
method: 'helloWorld',
params: {
name: 'Remy Blom',
msg: 'Hi!'
},
success: function (soapResponse) {
// do stuff with soapResponse
// if you want to have the response as JSON use soapResponse.toJSON();
// or soapResponse.toString() to get XML string
// or soapResponse.toXML() to get XML DOM
},
error: function (SOAPResponse) {
// show error
}
});This will create the following XML:
<soap:Envelope
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<helloWorld>
<name>Remy Blom</name>
<msg>Hi!</msg>
</helloWorld>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>And this will be send to: url + method http://my.server.com/soapservices/helloWorld
{
url: 'http://my.server.com/soapservices/', //endpoint address for the service
method: 'helloWorld', // service operation name
// 1) will be appended to url if appendMethodToURL=true
// 2) will be used for request element name when building xml from JSON 'params' (unless 'elementName' is provided)
appendMethodToURL: true, // method name will be appended to URL defaults to true
SOAPAction: 'action', // manually set the Request Header 'SOAPAction', defaults to the method specified above (optional)
soap12: false, // use SOAP 1.2 namespace and HTTP headers - default to false
//params can be XML DOM, XML String, or JSON
params: domXmlObject, // XML DOM object
params: xmlString, // XML String for request (alternative to internal build of XML from JSON 'params')
params: { // JSON structure used to build request XML - SHOULD be coupled with ('namespaceQualifier' AND 'namespaceURL') AND ('method' OR 'elementName')
name: 'Remy Blom',
msg: 'Hi!'
},
//these options ONLY apply when the request XML is going to be built from JSON 'params'
namespaceQualifier: 'myns', // used as namespace prefix for all elements in request (optional)
namespaceURL: 'urn://service.my.server.com', // namespace url added to parent request element (optional)
noPrefix: false, // set to true if you don't want the namespaceQualifier to be the prefix for the nodes in params. defaults to false (optional)
elementName: 'requestElementName', // override 'method' as outer element (optional)
// WS-Security
wss: {
username: 'user',
password: 'pass',
nonce: 'w08370jf7340qephufqp3r4',
created: new Date().getTime()
},
//callback functions
request: function (SOAPRequest) {}, // callback function - request object is passed back prior to ajax call (optional)
success: function (SOAPResponse) {}, // callback function to handle successful return (required)
error: function (SOAPResponse) {}, // callback function to handle fault return (required)
// debugging
enableLogging: true // to enable the local log function set to true, defaults to false (optional)
}Since version 0.9.3 it is possible to make a call to $.soap just to set extra config values. When you have a lot of calls to $.soap and are tired of repeating the same values for url, returnJson, namespace and error for instance, this new approach can come in handy:
$.soap({
url: 'http://my.server.com/soapservices/',
namespaceQualifier: 'myns',
namespaceURL: 'urn://service.my.server.com',
error: function (soapResponse) {
// show error
}
});
$.soap({
method: 'helloWorld',
params: {
name: 'Remy Blom',
msg: 'Hi!'
},
success: function (soapResponse) {
// do stuff with soapResponse
}
});The code above will do exactly the same as the first example, but when you want to do another call to the same soapserver you only have to specify the changed values:
$.soap({
method: 'doSomethingElse',
params: {...},
success: function (soapResponse) {
// do stuff with soapResponse
}
});But it won't stop you from doing a call to a completely different soapserver with a different error handler for instance, like so:
$.soap({
url: 'http://another.server.com/anotherService'
method: 'helloWorld',
params: {
name: 'Remy Blom',
msg: 'Hi!'
},
success: function (soapResponse) {
// do stuff with soapResponse
},
error: function (soapResponse) {
alert('that other server might be down...')
}
});NOTE: the param is used as a key. If no param is specified in the options passed to $.soap all options are stored in the globalConfig, there won't be a soapRequest. When a method is specified the globalConfig will be used and all options passed to $.soap will overrule those in globalConfig, but keep in mind, they won't be overwritten!
As from version 1.1.0 jQuery.soap supports a very basic form of WSS. This feature was requested (issue #9) and rather easy to implement, but I don't have a way to test it properly. So if you run into problems, please let me know (see below)
$.soap({
// other parameters..
// WS-Security
wss: {
username: 'user',
password: 'pass',
nonce: 'w08370jf7340qephufqp3r4',
created: new Date().getTime()
}
});
You won't be able to have a page on http://www.example.com do an ajax call (
Some links on circumventing same origin policy

http://usamadar.com/2012/06/24/getting-around-browsers-same-origin-policy-sop-with-proxies-script-injection-jsonp-and-cors/
I included a simple demo page that you can use for testing. It allows you to play around with all the options for $.soap. Please take note that to make it work with your SOAP services you are again bound by the same origin policy.
jQuery -- built and tested with v1.9.1, MAY work back to v1.6
SOAPResponse.toJSON() depends on jQuery.xml2json.js
Please note I don't mind you contacting me when you run into trouble implementing this plugin. But to keep things nice for me too, just follow these simple guidelines when you do:
- First make sure you're not getting an error because of same origin policy!
- Check the issues section and the closed issues section to see if someone else already had your problem, if not
- Open an issue in the issues section instead of sending me mail. This way others can learn from your case too! Please include the following:
- the versions of your jquery and jquery.soap
- your $.soap call
- the request as sent to the server
- the response from the server
- Being polite helps, especially when you want me to help you with your problems. So please take the time to formulate something like a question. Opening an issue with just some code sniplets and error messages will be regarded as unpolite and will receive a ditto reply. (I just don't like receiving stuff like issue #18 on a sunday)
I also have a dayjob with deadlines and I'm a dad of two lovely little girls, so please understand I am not always able to reply to you asap...
Thanx for understanding!! =]_
