tutorial request reply

In this tutorial you learn how to create a request/reply flow.

We start with the flow created in the Quick Start.

Step 1: Clone flow

• Like in tutorial1 clone the 'TestFlow'.

Step 2: Configure the flow

• Give the flow the name “Calculator”.
• Choose “Add” --> “Action” from the Source step.
• Set the component of the Action to “setheader”.
• Set the path to “Content-Type”.
• Add the option: value : “text/xml”.

• Choose “Add” --> “Action” from the already configured Action.
• Set the component of the Action to “http”.
• Set the path to “www.dneonline.com/calculator.asmx”.
• Set the option Http Method to “POST”.

After the changes, save the flow.

Step 3: Test the flow

• Create a file “calculator.xml”. The file should have the following content:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <tem:Add>
         <tem:intA>2</tem:intA>
         <tem:intB>2</tem:intB>
      </tem:Add>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

• Save the file “calculator.xml” in the directory: “C:\messages\in”.
• Start the flow 'Calculator'.

You should now see the reply message in “C:\messages\out”. In the file you get the answer of the calculation (In case you didn't know already :))
