Hi All

I spent the last week working on a method to submit SOAP envelopes to TEWS using RHINO

My use case was very simple:

1. Using a kettle script, obtain all failed events from the CAIM TP (task finished with status 2),
2. Write the task session to a staging table.
3. Try to resubmit the task using VST TEWS call

Now, although there is a built in http post component in kettle, it doesn’t work where SM is protecting the TEWS interface

And yes I could have used  Java but what is the fun with that

The attach RHINO code can, with some adaptation, can be used in CAIM screens as well

Please let me know if you have more questions

/* Part 1: Create SOAP XML message - In this Example resubmit task

// Part 2: Authentication Variables Declaration

// Note 1: We use literal java.lang.string() to create attributes to avoid conversion issues

// Note 2: This example was used on an environment where SM is protecting the TEWS interface

var message = new java.lang.String(); // Will hold the user and password for basic authentication

message = "<username:password>";

var bytes = [];

for (var i=0;i<message.length;++i) // Converting the message sting to byte using string array (no Byte data element in Rhino)

{

    bytes.push(message.charCodeAt(i));

}

var base64 = new org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64();

var encoding = base64.encodeAsString(bytes); // Encoding the username and password to base64 (Basic authentication requirement)

var cookie = new java.lang.String(); // Will hold the cookie value to make SM challenge the connection to avoid 401/403 erros

cookie = "SMCHALLENGE=YES";

// Part 3: establishing connection

var url = new java.net.URL("<TEWS Address"); // Enter the TEWS URL without the ?WSDL

var connection = java.net.URLConnection(url.openConnection()); //Open Connection

connection.setAllowUserInteraction(false);

connection.setRequestProperty("Cookie", cookie); // Adding the cookie

connection.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "Basic " + encoding); // Set authentication method to basic and passing the base64 encoded username and password

connection.setRequestProperty("Cache-Control", "no-cache"); // No cache

connection.setDoOutput(true);

connection.setDoInput(true);

connection.setRequestMethod("POST");

connection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8");

// Part 4: Passing the SOAP XML envelope 

var out = new java.io.OutputStreamWriter(connection.getOutputStream());

out.write(SOAPMsg);    // Submit

out.flush();

var returnCode = connection.getResponseCode(); // Get Return Code from the call

// Part 5: Read input stream from the call

var br = new java.io.BufferedReader(new java.io.InputStreamReader(connection.getInputStream()));

var response = "";

var line = br.readLine();

while(line != null){

    response = response + line;

    line = br.readLine();

}

// Part 6: Close the connection

out.close();
