JSON to XML converter cannot pass element by SOAP

[allysajohn]

Hi Experts,

I'm trying to implement converting payload of JSON using JSON to XML standard converter. However, it was giving this error message on the standard converter. I have tried with both type of protocols SOAP 1.x and SOAP RM. But, still does not work.

Does SOAP does not support using JSON to XML standard converter?

Thank you in advance!

hello ,

SOAP always uses xml and thats the reason you are able to see this error.Use http sender adapter instead of soap then you can use jsontoxml coverter.

Actually also a case where the error message is quite clear and straightforward; the SOAP sender channel does not output JSON, which is what the next step requires.

Thanks all! My requirement needs me to use soap adapter. I had change to groovy script to convert json to xml.

allysajohn you'll want to address the requirement because using SOAP to send JSON is a contradiction by definition as Sriprasad and 7a519509aed84a2c9e6f627841825b5a have already pointed out.

Hi ryan.crosby and 7a519509aed84a2c9e6f627841825b5a,

I tried using groovy script as mentioned here https://blogs.sap.com/2020/10/02/custom-json-to-xml-converter-in-cpi/ but however, when tested using SOAP adapter, it seems does not work. I used the same groovy script but using HTTPS adapter it is able to work. But, my requirement need to use SOAP as the sender adapter by taking JSON format. Is it not possible for SOAP to take JSON as the input?
