Sample application built in Vertx to consume SOAP or WCF based services.

Git clone the project on your local machine and add it to your workspace.

For runnning this, you will need

• Java 1.8
• Gradle support - In Eclipse editor, goto help -> eclipse marketplace -> search for buildship (buildship gradle integration) and install it.
• Axis 2 - Axis 2 library to generate java classes from WSDL files (http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/).

This application consumes a publicly available SOAP/WCF service: http://www.webservicex.net/geoipservice.asmx and Vertx is used to provide a rest API which will consume SOAP/WCF service and returns the response.

• VertxSoapLauncher -> The starting point of the application. It is used to deploy the AppVerticle.
• AppVerticle -> Main verticle which sets the configurations, routers, HttpServer etc for the Vertx.
• GeoIPSoapHandler -> Rest Handler which receives the input, calls the SOAP service and returns the Json response.

Execute blocking is used here along with the Async SOAP handlers.

For running the app, (IDE used here is Eclipse)

• Open appConfig.json file and set the "Port" as per your choice. No need to change other values.
• Once, changes are done in appConfig.json, right click on the project("vertx-soap-consumer"),
  select "Run As" -> "Run Configurations". Set:
  • Main class: com.vertx.soap.launcher.VertxSoapLauncher
  • Program arguments:
    run com.vertx.soap.verticle.AppVerticle -conf ../vertx-soap-consumer/src/main/resources/appConfig.json
  • VM arguments: -Dlogback.configurationFile=file:../vertx-soap-consumer/src/main/resources/logback.xml After setting the variables, click "Run".
• If app starts successfull, goto http://localhost:8080/. Status json {"status":"Ok"} will be served as response.
• To call the SOAP/WCF service, do
  GET http://localhost:8080/vertx-soap/v1/geoip/69.89.31.226
  Content-Type: application/json
  

• Response would be:
  

{
  "code": 200,
  "message": "Success",
  "hasError": false,
  "data": {
    "returnCode": 1,
    "ipspecified": true,
    "returnCodeDetailsSpecified": true,
    "returnCodeDetails": "Success",
    "countryNameSpecified": true,
    "countryName": "United States",
    "countryCodeSpecified": true,
    "countryCode": "USA",
    "ip": "69.89.31.226"
  }
}
