I'm trying to use the GetPostCodeDetailsByPlaceName method from this wsdl. I can't figure out how the parameters should go. Am I looking at this the wrong way or is it incomplete?
I've tried guessing a ton of things like:
This and
this
even
this
Anyone make any sense of it? Thanks.
Since this web service has a WSDL, it is a SOAP based web service, not a RESTful web service. You can use Apache Axis to generate a WS client based on the WSDL, or you can use a tool like SoapUI to invoke the web service.
WSDL = SOAPWADL = REST
Hence the thread title itself is invalid!!!

We are designing a Java middleware web application, something like a ESB, such as IBM message broker or mule.
We have many Oracle EBS interfaces(soap web services), and now the salesforce CRM wants to call the EBS interfaces through the middleware application.
Slaesforce CRM calls the middleware by rest json, and the middleware calls EBS by SOAP webservice. The picture below helps you know my meanings.
We have struggled many days to design the middleware with Spring Integration. But we found it difficult to do this. We still need to generate a jar file(by CXF) for every EBS interface(each wsdl with a jar file), and call the EBS interface by the traditional web service way.
We do not want to generate the webservice client jar files for each EBS interface. Is spring integration suitable for this(no generating the jar files for each WSDL, just some configuration or not much coding)? If not, can you suggest some other product else?
Thank you very much in advance.
For the SOAP interaction Spring Integration provides the WS module which is fully based on the Spring WS project.
I don't see reason to generate something, if you just can use the Spring Integration's <int-ws:outbound-gateway> to call that Oracle ESB service.
For this purpose you just need to know which XML to build for the request and which to parse from the response.
Seems for me for this purpose it would be enough for you to know the service WSDL and investigate it from the SOAP UI.
If I were you I'd just forget the CXF when we are with Spring :-).
An API gateway is one product which can be used here. Typically, it acts as a proxy between the client and the applications, but it can also do transformation between JSON and XML, which is what would happen in a REST to SOAP conversion.
MuleESB, although not a gateway can also be used for this purpose, see this link How to convert SOAP web service to REST web service in Mule
We did this by ourselves.
We developed the middleware by ourselves with Java.
We used java with freemarker template to convert the json request to required soap envelope body. Then used apache httpclient to call the web service(oracle EBS).
I'm new to the Mulesoft. Currently we have a requirement that need to use Mulesoft to expose a WSDL for Salesforce to call. When Salesforce call this web service, it will transform some account information and Mulesoft will load them to a MySQL table. Could anyone help how can I create this? Thank you!
Definitely... As Nuno said you need to use CXF component in Mule to expose your SOAP webservice.. Actually using Mule platform you can able to expose any kind of Web Service you required like (Soap,Rest) that other applications can able to read ..
Take a look into an easy way of creating the webservice and exposing the WSDL :- http://training.middlewareschool.com/mule/soap-code-first-build/
To publish a SOAP service you should use the CXF component (reference). Take a look into the documentation Publishing a SOAP API to have an ideia in how to begin your flow.
Please take some time to have a quick look into the Mule User guide, since it explains the essentials to start developing with Mule. You will need it to learn how to interact with MySQL too (Database connector).
I have to implement implement web service with SOAP 1.1 in ColdFusion. I am new in SAOP and searched for some example or sample code for web service in ColdFusion.
Didn't find any good tutorial with details. Just some portion of the code I got.
Don't know how to sent parameters and how to access those parameters inside web service methods.
Can I get some sample code or any link??
Thanks in advance.
For SOAP, you can follow this link,

For REST, follow this link,

I've gone over other WCF vs Web API question as well as blogs. It is possible to write HTTP service with webHttpBinding in WCF too. So why should one move to Web API when it is possible to use WCF for the same purpose. Some say it's easy to use HTTP in Web API. But in what sense.
A lot of blogs make me confused. Most of them are like " You can do HTTP in WCF but Web API is pure REST based. You can use Web API if you want but you can use WCF too". It's like salesman describing their product which is really confusing for me here.
I have old asmx service which I want to move to REST Service. I tried WCF with webHttpBinding. It works well but why should one move to Web API?
If you already have a WCF service that you're satisfied with, then you're done. No need for WebAPI.
You would use WebAPI if there are features of the WebAPI which WCF cannot conveniently supply. The WebAPI is "closer to HTTP", whereas WCF is a generic communications framework.
Situation:
We are planning to build a set of new services a long side a set of old SOAP (Spring, apache CXF) web services. Our customers are used to being able to use ?wsdl to get a wsdl describing a service and the content it will accept/return.
I'm looking at providing the new services via spring controllers and RESTful urls. However not all of a request can be handled via a RESTful url, so we still need to have a payload request and responses. I'm looking at use #RequestBody and #ResponseBody and spring's Message Converters to auto(magically) handle both XML and JSON content. The idea being to let spring do as much of the heaving lifting as possible.
The problem:
I'm trying to figure out if it's possible given the REST/Message converter concept, to be able to provide a description of a service and it's request/response data in a similar fashion to the ?wsdl request. I understand that there are WADL documents that can be generated by some systems, but they appear to be a proposel and not fully accepted yet.
Does anyone know if spring can generate WADLs or something else that I can use to allow clients to query the RESTful services data structures?
SpringMVC doesn't support WADL auto generation, mostly because it doesn't use the JSR-311 standard REST API.
I have create a blog entry with a simple WADL generation Controller in java :
Tuxgalaxy Blog Entry.
But Tomasz Nurkiewicz also provide a WADL generation Controller in scala :

You could use CXF JAX-RS for your REST services since you're already using it for SOAP (you can even expose the same service as SOAP and REST with CXF), and CXF gives you the WADL that you want by adding ?_wadl&_type=xml
The following code will work with Spring REST 4x and its based on the suggested code by tuxgalaxy provided on below https://jira.spring.io/browse/SPR-8705
