Web Service Addressing Example - Mule 4

This example uses the following components and operations to configure WS-Addressing and send a SOAP request:

  • HTTP > Listener

    Component that initiates the flow

  • Transform Message

    Component that converts the input data to a new output structure or format

  • SAP S/4HANA > Invoke

    Operation that sends a request to the specified service

  • Logger

    Component that displays the response in the Mule console

    Mule flow for sending a SOAP request with WS-Addressing enabled
    Figure 1. The flow for this example sends a SOAP request with WS-Addressing enabled.

This example uses configuration properties for some field values. You can either replace the variables with their values in the code, or you can provide the values for each variable in the src/main/resources/mule-artifact.properties file.

Before You Begin

You must have:

  • Access to the SAP S/4HANA instance and Anypoint Platform

Send a SOAP request with WS-Addressing headers

Create a Mule Project

In Studio, create a new Mule project to add and configure the connector:

  1. Select File > New > Mule Project.

  2. Enter a name for your Mule project and click Finish.

Add and Configure a Listener

  1. In the Mule Palette view, search for HTTP and select the Listener operation:

    HTTP Listener selected in the Mule Palette view

  2. Drag the Listener operation onto the canvas.

  3. In the Listener configuration, click + next to Connector configuration to add a global element.

  4. Accept the defaults.

  5. Set the Path field to /wsa:

    General configuration fields for HTTP Listener

Add and Configure the Invoke Operation

  1. In the Mule Palette view, search for SAP S4 HANA and select the Invoke operation.

  2. Drag the Invoke operation onto the canvas, to the right of the Listener component.

  3. In the Invoke configuration, click + next to Connector configuration to add a global element.

  4. Configure the global element for the Invoke operation:

    • Name
      Name used to reference the configuration. This example uses SAP_S4_HANA_Cloud_SOAP_Config.

    • Service base URL
      Base URL of SAP S/4HANA instance (endpoint) to be accessed from the connector.

    • Username
      Account username to log into SAP S/4HANA.

    • Password
      Account password to log into SAP S/4HANA.

      SAP S/4HANA SOAP Configuration window with example values for the Invoke operation
      Figure 2. The following image shows example values for the global element in Invoke operation.
  5. Open the Addressing tab.

  6. Set global WS-Addressing properties:

    • Version
      WS-Addressing version.

    • From
      Reference of the endpoint where the SOAP request originated from.

      Configure Web Service Addressing fields
      Figure 3. The following image shows example values for Addressing fields.
  7. At the base of the Studio canvas, click Configuration XML to view the corresponding XML:

    <s4hana-soap:config name="SAP_S4_HANA_Cloud_SOAP_Config">
        <s4hana-soap:basic-authentication-connection baseUrl="${config.cloud.soap.baseUrl}"
            username="${config.cloud.soap.username}" password="${config.cloud.soap.password}" />
        <s4hana-soap:web-service-addressing wsaVersion="WSA200408" />
    </s4hana-soap:config>
  8. Return to the Global elements tab in the editor and open SAP_S4_HANA_Cloud_SOAP_Config configuration.

  9. Click the Test Connection…​ button at the bottom of the window and verify if it is successful.

  10. After successful test connection, close the Test connection and the Global Element Properties windows.

  11. Open the Message flow tab in the editor and open Invoke operation processor.

  12. Configure the following fields in the properties window:

    • Display Name
      Name to display in the UI for the connector operation.

    • Connector Configuration
      Global configuration you previously created for the Invoke operation named SAP_S4_HANA_Cloud_SOAP_Config.

    • Service name
      Name of the service. In this example we chose CreditManagementAccountByIDQuery_In.

    • Operation name
      Operation name of the service. In this example we chose CreditManagementAccountByIDQuery_In.

    • Message
      Content of a SOAP message.

  13. Open the graphical view of message payload and set the SOAP message content. In this example we set the following payload:

    %dw 2.0
    output application/xml
    ns ns0 http://sap.com/xi/SAPGlobal/Global
    ---
    {
        ns0#CreditManagementAccountByIDQuery: {
            MessageHeader: {
                ID: "@" as String,
                CreationDateTime: now()
            },
            Selection: {
                DebtorPartyInternalID: "0011100050" as String,
                CreditsegmentInternalID: 1 as String
            },
            LanguageCode: "ZZZ" as String
        }
    }
  14. Set the General properties of the Invoke operation.

    Invoke operation general properties
  15. Open the Advanced tab and change the Web Service Addressing dropdown from None to Edit inline.

  16. Configure the following fields:

    • To
      Address of the intended receiver of this message.

    • Version (optional)
      WS-Addressing version. If nothing is specified, the connector uses the value from the configuration.

    • From (optional)
      Reference of the endpoint where the message originated from. If nothing is specified, the connector uses the value from configuration.

    • Message ID
      Identifier that uniquely identifies the message in time and space. If nothing is specified, the connector uses time-based UUID.

    • Relates to (optional)
      Message ID that the message is related to.

      Invoke operation advanced properties
      Figure 4. The following image shows the Web Service Addressing properties of the Invoke operation.

Add and Configure a Transform Message Component

Add the Transform Message component to the flow using what we transform in the response to JSON:

  1. In the Mule Palette view, search for Transform Message.

    Transform message core component selected in the Mule Palette view
  2. Drag the Transform Message component onto the canvas, to the right of the Invoke operation.

  3. In the Transform Message configuration, set output to json and replace the brackets in the Output section with a keyword message:

    %dw 2.0
    output application/json
    ---
    message

Add and Configure a Logger Component

Add and configure a Logger component to display the message response in the Mule console:

  1. In the Mule Palette view, search for Logger.

  2. Drag the Logger component onto the canvas, to the right of the Transform Message component.

  3. Configure the following fields:

    • Display Name
      Name for the Logger component.

    • Message
      String or DataWeave expression that specifies the Mule log message.

    • Level
      Configures the logging level. The default is INFO.

      Logger properties window
      Figure 5. The following image shows example values for the fields:

Run the Application and Verify

  1. Run the application and wait until it successfully deploys.

  2. Visit the following URL from the web browser: http://localhost:8081/wsa

  3. Verify that the successful response was returned.

  4. Locate the headers property in the payload and verify that the Relates to property has the same value as the one we set in the Message ID field for the Invoke operation.
