Using a WSDL Proxy to Invoke a Web Service

When connecting to a web service, your Acrobat JavaScript code may use a WSDL proxy

object to generate a SOAP envelope. The envelope contains a request for the server to run a

web method on behalf of the client. To obtain the WSDL proxy object, invoke the

method, which accepts a single parameter containing the HTTP or

HTTPS URL of the WSDL document.

The returned proxy object contains the web methods available in the web service

described by the WSDL document. If the web service uses SOAP/RPC encoding, the

parameters in the proxy object’s methods will match the order specified in the WSDL

document. If the web service uses document/literal encoding, the methods will accept a

single parameter describing the request message.

In the example shown below, a connection to a web service will be established, and its RPC-

encoded web methods will be invoked. Assume that

contains the address of the

// Obtain the WSDL proxy object:

var myProxy = SOAP.connect(myURL);

// Invoke the echoString web service, which requires a string parameter:

var testString = "This is a test string.";

var result = myProxy.echoString(testString);

// Display the response in the console:

console.println("Result is " + result);

// Invoke the echoInteger web service, which requires an integer parameter:

// Since JavaScript does not support XSD-compliant integer values,
