Hello,

I need to publish SOAP service to receive data from an external application based on a predefined wsdl. I found samples on using REST but nothing about SOAP. Where can I found some samples or hints to start working on this?

Thanks

Roberto

FME Server cannot expose a SOAP interface based on a third-party WSDL, you'll need to write your own proxy/transformation service. You may want to google "soap to rest proxy" for some ideas on what this entails.

My recommendation would be to use SOAP on the side of the third-party software and REST towards FME Server.

    Thanks. This seems to explain how to query a service from FME as requestor. Unfortunately I need the opposite. FME Server must be the data provider. Regards. Roberto

    Thanks. Defintively I'll proceed that way.

    Hi,

    I was wondering if there are any advancements on this subject in the last 2 years. @chrisatsafe​ @david_r​ @mark2atsafe​

    Hi Itay

    I have the impression that SOAP is pretty much dead in the water these days, except for legacy systems where there are still entire ecosystems that rely on it.

    I've not seen Safe mention anything about SOAP regarding the Server API, and honestly I'd be surprised if they'd implement it.

    Hi David,

    I did suspect this will be the answer, but had to check.

    Thanks.
