mapSoapRunStreamFromPost

Introduction

mapSoapRunStreamFromPost est une méthode du WebService "mapsoapserver.exe"

Cas d'usage :

• Send a file to Mapping and get a response file synchronously (e.g. sending an XML file and receiving a PDF in return).
• Send a large file to Mapping asynchronously. All file types are supported.

Usage

• POST method
• Parameters:

- Workflow: name of the Mapping workflow that will be called

- key/value combination: metadata

- File sent

- Response type (XML with base64 encoded file, or direct file)

Examples: XML, PDF, XPS, TXT, CSV, EXE, JPG, PNG, ZIP etc.

• Contrary to the mapUploadFile method, mapSoapRunStreamFromPost lets you call a workflow
• The content of the file should be passed in the body, without envelope and without base64 encoding
• All <key/value> parameters should be passed in the URL exclusively (no XML envelope)
• In the workflow:
  • The key/value combinations are used in the workflow as [%xxxx%] variables
  • The file is identified using the [%MAP_FILE_IN%] variable
• If the "getobject=1" parameter is added to the URL, the body of the response contains the file from the workflow without XML envelope nor base64 encoding.

Sample SOAP request

With a PDF file

curl -u mapadmin:mapadmin -X POST --data-binary "@/tmp/my_file.pdf" "http://192.168.100.14:8002/cgi-bin/mapsoapserver.exe/mapSoapRunStreamFromPost?key=workflow&value=testsoap&key=mykey1&value=myvalue1&key=mykey2&value=myvalue2"

With an XML file

curl -u mapadmin:mapadmin -X POST --data "@/tmp/my_file.xml" "http://192.168.100.14:8002/cgi-bin/mapsoapserver.exe/mapSoapRunStreamFromPost?key=workflow&value=testsoap&key=typdoc&value=invoice&key=store&value=store_paris&getobject=1"

Comments:

• "worfklow" is the name of the workflow you want to call. If blank, the "root" workflow is called.
• "mykey1", "mykey2", "typdoc" and "store" are sample metadata retrieved from the workflow that Mapping will use to process the file.
• The @ sign in option --data-binary means it's a file.
• In the first example as the file is a PDF the option used is --data-binary, but for "text" file as in the XML example, the option could be "--data"
• In the 2nd example, the "getobject=1" parameter means it's a "bit-stream" response, without XML envelope nor base64 encoding

Sample asynchronous workflow

• Param1 retrieves the content of mykey1 (parameter box)
• Param2 retrieves the content of mykey2 (parameter box)
• The "Print" box sends the file to the queue "MY_ENTRY"
  • The file transferred in the Web service data stream is [%MAP_FILE_IN%]
  • The checkmark "Add current parameters" transfers the variables param1 and param2 with the file to the "MY_ENTRY" queue

            

Sample synchronous workflow

• La variable param1 récupère le contenu de macle1 (boite paramètre)
• La variable param2 récupère le contenu de macle2 (boite paramètre)
• Composition du document XML en XPS (boite Designer)
• Conversion du XPS en PDF (Boite de conversion vers PDF)
• Envoi du résultat dans la réponse de la requête SOAP (Boite "Affichage dans le navigateur")

La boite permettant de renvoyer le résultat au consommateur doit se trouver dans le Workflow déclenché par le WebService. Elle ne peut en aucun cas se trouver dans un sous workflow invoqué par un "call".
