How to construct a payload with the soap envelope?

In this example, we are going to construct the payload using Payload Factory mediator. When we are using Payload factory mediator, we get the payload without the soap envelope.

Here, we are looking at how to construct the payload with the soap envelope.

We are going to construct the following payload.

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:xsd="http://services.samples/xsd" xmlns:ser="http://services.samples">
   <soap:Body>
      <ser:getQuote>
         <ser:request>
            <xsd:symbol>IBM</xsd:symbol>
         </ser:request>
      </ser:getQuote>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

We can use payload factory mediator as follow.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<payloadFactory media-type="xml" xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse">
    <format>
        <soap:Envelope xmlns:ser="http://services.samples"
            xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:xsd="http://services.samples/xsd">
            <soap:Header/>
            <soap:Body>
                <ser:getQuote>
                    <ser:request>
                        <xsd:symbol>IBM</xsd:symbol>
                    </ser:request>
                </ser:getQuote>
            </soap:Body>
        </soap:Envelope>
    </format>
</payloadFactory>

But if we use this only we don’t get the soap envelope as below.

<ser:getQuote xmlns:ser="http://services.samples">
   <ser:request>
      <xsd:symbol xmlns:xsd="http://services.samples/xsd">IBM</xsd:symbol>
   </ser:request>
</ser:getQuote>

Therefore, we are using the following property mediator.

property mediator

The full proxy as below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<proxy xmlns="http://ws.apache.org/ns/synapse"
       name="PF2"
       startOnLoad="true"
       statistics="disable"
       trace="disable"
       transports="http,https">
   <target>
      <inSequence>
         <payloadFactory media-type="xml">
            <format>
               <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"
                              xmlns:xsd="http://services.samples/xsd"
                              xmlns:ser="http://services.samples">
                  <soap:Header/>
                  <soap:Body>
                     <ser:getQuote>
                        <ser:request>
                           <xsd:symbol>IBM</xsd:symbol>
                        </ser:request>
                     </ser:getQuote>
                  </soap:Body>
               </soap:Envelope>
            </format>
            <args/>
         </payloadFactory>
         <property name="messageType" scope="axis2" type="STRING" value="text/xml"/>
         <log level="full">
            <property name="ChangedEnve" value="----Changed-------"/>
         </log>
         <respond/>
      </inSequence>
   </target>
   <description/>
</proxy>
