How to convert SOAP web service to REST web servic

Question

I would like to convert SOAP ws to REST. Is there any elegant solution to this problem?

REST should take input in json format.

{key:value}

This json should be put inside Body/Order/data tags:

<soapenv:Body>
  <myApp:Order>
    <data>{key:value}</data>
  </myApp:Order>
</soapenv:Body>

It may be too late to answer this question but it worth to have look on strongloop and its loopback-soap-connector. Check This out this article Soap into apis with loopback-node-js. You can Extend a model to wrap/mediate SOAP operations. It works like a charm and with very reliable performance!

Answer 2

For asp.net/ Visual Studio, you need to do File --> New Project --> Select Online from the left panel --> You will find Soap to Rest Converter

I hope that will work.

Answer 4

I guess Mule ESB should be best in doing this.

Step 1 : You can expose a rest service via http endpoint which should accept your JSON.

Step 2: Then a Custom Transformer can be used to prepare the SOAP request for the SOAP service which needs to be called.

Step 3: OutBound Call to SOAP Web-Service

Step 4: Transformer to convert your SOAP Response from previous out-bound call to JSON response.

The response will be sent back to the client which calle dthe Rest Endpoint.

Hope this helps :)
