(HowTo) Sending a SOAP message within Apex

Hi!

 

I want to use a webservice whose WSDL is unable to be imported by Salesforce. So I pick up its WSDL file as input for a SOAP Client "SOAP UI" which gave me the soap message to request de service:

 

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:web="http://www.webserviceX.NET/">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <web:ConversionRate>
         <web:FromCurrency>USD</web:FromCurrency>
         <web:ToCurrency>EUR</web:ToCurrency>
      </web:ConversionRate>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

 So what I need is to send this SOAP message through my apex code. I tried this skeleton:

 

 

//setting endpoint
string serviceUrl = 'http://www.webserviceX.NET/currencyconvertor.asmx';

Http h = new Http();
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
req.setEndpoint(serviceUrl); 
req.setMethod('POST');
req.setTimeout(10000);

HttpResponse res = h.send(req);
string bodyRes=res.getBody();

 What should I add to my code in order I can send the SOAP message above?

 

Thanks in Advance

This worked for me:

 

				Http h = new Http();
				HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
				req.setMethod('POST');
				req.setHeader('Accept-Encoding','gzip,deflate');
				req.setHeader('Content-Type','text/xml;charset=UTF-8');
				req.setHeader('SOAPAction', URL);
				req.setHeader('User-Agent','Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.1');
				
				
				Blob headerValue = Blob.valueOf(USERNAME + ':' + PASSWORD);
				String authorizationHeader = 'BASIC ' + EncodingUtil.base64Encode(headerValue);
				req.setHeader('Authorization', authorizationHeader);
				
				req.setEndpoint(CustomerCheck__c.getAll().get('endpoint').value__c);
				
				String requestString = '<<SOAP MESSAGE>>';
						
				req.setHeader('Content-Length',String.valueOf(requestString.length()));
		
				req.setBody(requestString);
				h.send(req);

Hi,

 

Can you put here what was the resulting SOAP message?
