RE: [Babeldoc-devel] Babeldoc soap support question(s)

[Leech, J. <jl...@vi...>]

I don't have anything I can show you from the config file, but the responses
I get are XML documents, so
in general I use XSL Transform pipeline stages to transform them into what I
want.  For example, I get a response back, do an XSL transformation on it to
convert it into a bunch of SQL insert statements, and then run the SQLWriter
pipeline stage.  Another thing you could do is use the XPath extract
pipeline stage, which lets you read values out of the document and put them
into document attributes.

Hi Jonathan,

I've modified SoapWriterPipelineStage to match HttpClientPipelineStage in
how 
it handles response documents (I've also added a boolean option responseDoc 
that defaults to false, so that the old behavior is maintained).  However, 
I'm not sure how to actually USE the response document in a pipeline.  Would

you have a snippet of your config file where you set up the 
HttpClientPipelineStage and the following stage(s) that process the response

that I could review?


Thanks for your help,

David
