clj-soap

clj-soap is a SOAP server and client using Apache Axis2.

This version is based on Sean Corfield's version, which is in turn based on Tetsuya Takatsuru's version. It includes patches from a range of forks to add new features, options and bug fixes. Shout out to contributors for the @jaimeagudo, @uswitch, @j1mr10rd4n, @scttnlsn, @jpmonettas, @rentpath forks.

Usage

Client

You can call remote SOAP method as following:

(require '[clj-soap.client :as soap])

(let [client (soap/client-fn {:wsdl "http://... (URL for WSDL)"})]
  (client :someMethod param1 param2 ...))

The response is a Clojure object representation of the response XML.

Optional configuration data can be passed into the client-fn function:

(let [client (soap/client-fn {:wsdl "http://... (URL for WSDL)"
                              :options {; enables authentication for retrieving the WSDL
                                        ; NB: because of Axis2 internals, this must change
                                        ; the JVM-wide Authenticator default, so be careful!
                                        :wsdl-auth {:username "test"
                                                    :password "test"}
                                        ; enables authentication for all requests
                                        :auth {:username "test"
                                               :password "test"}
                                        ; specify timeout for accessing requests
                                        :timeout 10000
                                        ; enables chunked transfer for requests
                                        :chunked? true
                                        ; by default, SOAP failures result in exceptions
                                        ; setting this value to false makes failures result in standard responses
                                        :throw-faults false}})]
  (client :someMethod param1 param2 ...))

In certain situations, Axis2 doesn't detect complex arguments. To workaround this, complex arguments can be manually specified:

(let [client (soap/client-fn {:wsdl "http://... (URL for WSDL)"
                              :options {:complex-args true}})]
  (client :someMethod [["item" "test1"] ["item" "test2"]]))

Server

To make SOAP service:

(require '[clj-soap.server :as soap])

;; Defining service class
(soap/defservice my.some.SoapClass
  (someMethod ^String [^Integer x ^String s]
              (str "x is " x "\ts is " s)))

;; Start SOAP Service
(serve "my.some.SoapClass")

defservice needs to be AOT-compiled. For example, lein compile before running server.

Type Hint

SOAP services need typehints. String for arguments and void for return value, if you don't specify typehints.
