Hi Team,
I have a requirement to consume a Soap service from Camunda via BPMN. I think we can use connectors to leverage this. But I am unable to figure out if we do have any Soap connector available. Could you please share some insights on this. What approach would be better for this kind of approach.
Thanks,
Saju
Hi @Saju_John_Sebastian1 - I do not think anyone has contributed a SOAP Connector yet. You can create your own using the Connector SDK! If you do, you can also release it to the Camunda Community Hub and Connector Marketplace. (There are lots of great resources for building Connectors, but this YouTube video is a great starting point.)
Other options would to be use a job worker (have the job worker call the SOAP service and return the results back to your process), or set up your own REST API that calls the SOAP service and call your API with the HTTP Connector.
Hello @Saju_John_Sebastian1 ,
actually, there is a soap connector wip.
It is not yet released or public, but you can find its artefacts here:
You should be able to use the shaded jar directly in the docker connector runtime. The jar should also contain the element template.
I hope this helps
Jonathan
Thanks @jonathan.lukas .
As we try to explore on using this. Is there any timeline on by when can we expect to get this released to public?
HI @Saju_John_Sebastian1 , We are planning the release for 8.5. If you are interested in news, you can subscribe to the following card in our connectors idea portal:
