ROUND 1 SOAP Interoperability Tests Specification

This specification outlines a (proposed) SOAP service interface that can be implemented by SOAP implementations as part of an interoperability testing process.

General Guidelines

SOAPAction should be present, and quoted.
Method namespace should be a well-formed , legal URI
Each server implementation is free to use a SOAPAction value and method namespace value of its own choosing. However, if the implementation has no preference, we suggest using a SOAPAction value of "urn:soapinterop" and a method namespace of "http://soapinterop.org/"
For this method set, implementations may carry explicit typing information on the wire, but should not require it for incoming messages.
Since we are dealing strictly with Section 5 encoding, encodingStyle should be present and set to http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/
WSDL is NOT required on the server side. Implementations that require WSDL for binding are responsible for creating it locally on the client.

The list of methods follows. Sample envelopes, generated by SOAP::Lite, are provided as well. It is important to note that these envelope examples are ONLY examples, and there is no implication that the implementations need to conform to these specific envelopes.

echoString
echoStringArray
echoInteger
echoIntegerArray
echoFloat
echoFloatArray
echoStruct
echoStructArray
echoVoid
echoBase64
echoDate

As an example, here is a WSDL description . While WSDL support is not a requirement for these tests, this description may be useful as a form of documentation for implementors.

method: echoString

This method accepts a single string and echoes it back to the client.

Input parameter name : inputString

Input parameter type: xsd:string

Output parameter name: return

Output parameter type: xsd:string
