This plugin allows for WSDL-descriptions to be imported en-bloque in order to define individual blocks for each service defined therein. Thus, this is a perfect tool if you have to test or automate service oriented architectures based upon SOAP services (SOA).
Importing a WSDL Definition
The WSDL can be loaded either from a local file or from the internet via a known URL. In the "extras"-menu, select the "Import-WSDL" entry,
fill in the fileName / URL dialog (to load from the internet, paste the URL in the filename field at the bottom):
and confirm with "OK".
If the File / URL is readable, correct and parsable, the plugin will create a new Import-library, which contains one block per service:
Each block has the schema and in/out pins defined as required for the service's parameters:
Using Imported Blocks
SOAP Actions can be used similar to any other action. Drag and drop them into a network and connect the required input- and output pins. When executed, a SOAP action will invoke the remote service and provide the returned value(s) at its output. The exception output can be used to handle the case of network, connection or other service error.
