Using pub.client:http to Submit $xmldata via HTTP

pub.client:http input variable

Description

url

Specify the URL of the target service that is to receive the XML document.

Note:

Rather than specifying the query string portion of the URL with the xmlFormat argument in the url variable, specify the xmlFormat argument in the data/args variable, as described below.

method

Specify post.

data

Use the args key of the data input variable to specify key/value pairs that the service places in the query string of the URL.

Key

Value

args

A Document containing the arguments you want the service to add to the URL in the query string. Specify the following arguments:

Argument

Value

$xmldata

A String that contains the XML document that the client wants to submit via HTTP.

Note:

Using $xmldata for the XML document indicates the data is XML. As a result, you do not need to use the headers input variable to specify the Content-Type field of the HTTP request header.

xmlFormat

A String that indicates how you want Integration Server to pass the XML document to the target service. Specify stream or bytes.

Use stream if you want Integration Server to pass the XML document as an XML stream without parsing the XML.

When passing the XML document as an XML stream, Integration Server places the XML in the input pipeline of the target service as an InputStream named xmlStream.

Use bytes if you want Integration Server to pass the XML document as a byte array without parsing the XML.

When passing the XML document as a byte array, Integration Server places the XML in the input pipeline of the target service as a byte array named xmlBytes.

The query string that the service appends to the URL will use the following format:

?$xmldata=string&xmlFormat=format

where:

string is the value you specify for the $xmldata argument (that is, the XML document).

format is the value you specify for the xmlFormat argument.
