Smooks to transform incoming SOAP msg

[bhargasr]

How to use Smooks (which action/s) to transform and validate an incoming SOAP message?

[bhargasr]

Trying to use SmooksAction with a smooks-resource file having the transformation logic.
Getting the following exception while building the project:
Caused by: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

ks-res.xml]. Tried filesystem, classpath and URL.

What cud be wrong? The file is present in the same folder as the jboss-esb.xml

Try puttting it in the root of the .esb archive.

Thanks a bunch. That resolved it.

A side question, how to validate an incoming soap message on the esb?

You can specify a schema for request, response and faults like this:

<actions inXsd="/request.xsd" outXsd="/response.xsd" faultXsd="/fault.xsd" validate="true">
 <action name="action" class="org.jboss.soa.esb.samples.quickstart.publishAsWebservice.ESBWSListenerAction" process="displayMessage"/>
</actions>

Settting validate to true will validate the data. The example above is from the publish_as_webservice quickstart. Take a look at it and see if this would work for you use case.

Thanks, Daniel.
Will try that out.
Do MessageFilter or Drools offer any benefit for validations?

Hello Casper,

I know the post is old... but could you please post an example on how to transform a SOAP message? Or do you know where I could find an example. I'm looking for solutions to transform namespaces, operation names and parameter values.

Thank you.
